Tub kill! This was shave #58 that I have logged for this soap in SDS. I suspect I'm missing some, but I can't remember when I added this tub to my den.
I enjoyed OCBP for pretty much every shave. Good scent in a nice base. I'm replacing it with BaM Nordost for now, but might pick up another tub some day.
GF II and Summer Storm paired very nicely together as well. Good stuff.
I'm refactoring my travel shave den (Okay, it's a Stirling leather dopp kit; I've freed myself from the tyranny of Big Razor and always check a bag). Anyway, I've been dragging this stick around with me for years. I had only used it once before (and the shave didn't go well).
I pulled it out this morning on a whim. Similar result. The scent is great but the lather completely failed in pass 2. Tabac cream swooped in and saved the shave.
The Ogalalla stick is hereby evicted from the travel shave den.
First pass WTG. 2nd pass XTG on upper lips, cheeks, chin. It was a mistake on the upper lips - I got overconfident because I could tell that I had the lather dialed in really well today. So now I have some irritation that could have been avoided. Also maybe did not help that this blade is on the 3rd use? But really I think it would have been fine if I had even just been less aggressive on the XTG pass.
I included the serum and lotion because I think they both help with irritation from the shave and help to balance out the drying effect from the alum. They are both pretty amazing products! I'm considering ditching the Taconic balm and just using the calendulove. Too bad as the Taconic balm is still mostly full...
First time using Duke: it's pretty nice! I think this has claimed the #2 spot for me in terms of Stirling scents. Gf and I are on the same page on this one - very nice but not quite as nice as Deton-8.

TL;DR - I suck at shave sticks.
Have a good one :)

There was at some time a Tabac shaving stick, and maybe it still exists.

I've got the stick refill. I've searched high and wide for the holder. I haven't opened the refill yet.
