I received sample packs from numerous companies a few days ago. I have smelled them all and couldn't and can't wait to try them all. So I have randomly picked which one I would try each morning.
Fine's Snake Bite was the first day, Holy Hell Batman, I did learn that morning that I might be applying a bit too much pressure when I shave. I like my shave, and thought I was using just the weight of the razor, but Snake Bite showed me I was wrong. Man, lesson learned.
Second day, I tried Lucky Tiger Bay Rum that I picked up at my Barber (yes the day after I received 30,000 samples), it did smell good, had a similar burn as my Osage Rub. Nothing unexpected, nothing special, I will be using it in the future.
On the third day, this morning, I closed my eyes and reached over, the first thing I grabbed was the Ogallala Bay Rum aftershave. Gave it a little shake and opened the bottle, poured a little bit in my hand and WOW! This stuff smelled great. Followed up with the Ogallala Cologne and instantly fell in love with both. This will forever be what Bay Rum is suppose to smell like, at least to me. Slight burn, dried fast, aroma lasted for a little while probably an hour or so, not really sure if it goes away or if I became immune to it. But I would get whiffs of it through out the day, another pleasant surprise. My only complaint is I have a metric-****-ton of other aftershaves to try before the Ogalla becomes my daily go to aftershave. I think all others will have a hard time measuring up to this, but I am excited that I have so many samples one of them may prove me wrong.
To all those that recommend Ogallala somewhere on B&B, thank you, without your recommendations I would have never tried it. Keep the recommendations and reviews coming.
