I mix my Osage Rub with Witch Hazel at a 50/50 ratio. Get the best of both worlds that way I'll have to give that a try. Does it cover up the plain witch hazel smell? I use Thayer's Aloe Vera formula and don't notice any real scent from it so that's not been a problem for me.

Thayer's doesn't have that scent that Dickenson's or the generic store brands do. I really like Thayer's and they've got some great scented ones too, I just wish I could find it locally.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the alcohol in the generic brand. I have never used Thayers or Dickerson's, just the CVS, Kroger etc house brand with alcohol.

I don't think the 14% alcohol content has anything directly to do with the scent. It probably has more to do with the distillation process. If you've smelled the CVS, Kroger, Walmart or other store brand, you've smelled Dickenson's too. They are all the same, made the same way. Thayer's Witch Hazel isn't distilled, they have some proprietary process where they extract it directly from the bark.

As was pointed out the Thayer's does not have the scent It works great too. I just do not like to pay the extra cost.

I know he probably doesnt want this to get out, but I must tell yall. Jayaruh is a bad influence on me. He sent me a bit of Osage Rub to use on a couple of shaves. Well, I used it this morning, and lets just say, its a good thing I was off work today. I had my eyes watering for a good 20 mintues or so. I used a wonderful Italian soap that goes by a name I cant pronounce that is loaded with menthol. I then used 2 squirts of the osage rub, and boy oh boy, you would have thought I was cutting onions in my shave den!!! On a more serious note, Jim, thanks for the sample. I plan on using it tomorrow with a bit of menthol molested Williams, and Fine Platinum after shave. The Fine is super menthol, and the Williams will be after I had the Menthol crystals. I may just be setting myself up for failure, especially considering the high temperature here tomorrow will only be 40 degrees. -OS Wow that would take quite a lot of guts to try menthol adventures in 40 degrees. If you're interested try getting Godrej Menthol shave cream, create a super lather with Williams and tell us about it ! Ofcourse you know what to use for the AS. Osage rub has a permanent place in my shave den !

luv2shave I would have to bloom it, and then add the shave cream, then add the Menthol! I could even use the Osage Rub on top of the Williams! Your idea is sounding better all the time.

I used the rub a few days ago. Same thing, my eyes were watering. The webbing in between my fingers burned for 30 mins. It's not like an alcohol burn, intense menthol pain, but as it mellows it gets very nice

I am thinking we should ban all Bloomers. 😂 Doug from PAA just covered what blooming is in The purpose of blooming is to heat the soap and bring out the scent of the soap in the air and has nothing to do with improving the performance of the soap. Soaking is a traditional barber method of softening a hard soap with performance in mind and has nothing to do with scent. I've never felt the need to do either but I can see blooming to fill the den with a scent you like. I think ordinaryshaver is in fact a Soaker. Ban all Soakers!
