Working my way through all the Pinaud products, and experiencing olde-time barbershop rightness one bottle at a time.
Now the Osage Rub ... as an archer and knife guy, I've known Osage Orange for years: a fine and useful wood.

Then there's the Osage indians ... and these things have *nothing whatsoever* apparently to do with Osage Rub. If someone knows why they call this icy blast in a bottle by this name, please share.
The ingredients you know- basically menthol and eucalyptus - but the "globulus" threw me; guess it's this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eucalyptus_globulus
Anyways. It's icy bite , which works as an aftershave (probably better in July-August) borders, to me, on medicine ...
It's notes recall getting Vick's VapoRub put on as a child ... yet there's something else there too.
It apparently eats into your skin, since I washed my hands after face-splashing the stuff (pure January morning) and I can still feel a cold feeling in one hand. Anyways.
Now that I have it ... going to look up the various Bootlegger recipes, for that's what I wanted it for. As a base or altering agent for some of these other AS'.
"Cryogen" and some of these other new face-freezers may be in style, but the Rub has legs and staying power. I now see why. Powerful stuff, especially for the price.
