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.

TL;DR - I suck at shave sticks.

Have a good one :)
