Quick update on the daily (mostly) driver. I used other Aftershaves a few times here and there since the last picture but this is where I'm at.
Is this a 3017 endurance event?

Ha! It may very well be... AS edition...Is this a 3017 endurance event?
Since we are all about history and stuff (mostly stuff). I was curious about the Richard's Rub. I found this post where it mentions 50/50 Osage Rub and Dickinson's witch hazel. I'm guessing it lowers the menthol levels and the witch hazel must help the skin a lot. What are your impressions about it (if you have 2 decants, it must be good)?View attachment 1713104After transferring my witch hazel from plastic to glass I could really smell the difference in that light scent.
Now I move everything to glass, even though it is harder for me to smell the difference in strong scents like OR.
TL;DR: Richard's Rub is my #1 menthol AS.Since we are all about history and stuff (mostly stuff). I was curious about the Richard's Rub.

@Tanuki, do you have a bit of background on how this mix became Richard's Rub? Perhaps a link to a post when you first saw it?
Gotcha, I wasn't sure where Richard was from! Thanks!I made it and named it. The (short) story is on the forum some where. Richard's for Dickinson's of course, Rub from the Osage.
The switch from Dick to Richard is a personal reference/joke. A long time climbing, skiing, sailing partner of mine got his name changed from Dick to Richard over 40 years ago, when he started dating the woman who is still his wife. I saw him last week.
I am still getting used to his name change. Not a fast learner, I know. Maybe I'm lucky the LOTH didn't put the kibosh on 'John' as too rude.
This so much so that I STILL haven't used it as an aftershave.it is also a refreshing hair tonic ...
It's not the same.I just received a bottle of Osage Rub in the mail today. Never used it. Been using Proraso Green aftershave lotion for a decade. Nearly out of the 400ml barber version and needed something in a pinch. How does this compare?
@Luc is quietly restrained. I have and enjoy both, but the comparison is like PG apples and OR bowling balls. Or maybe XXX wrecking balls.I just received a bottle of Osage Rub in the mail today.

It is so good that it brings a tear to my eyes when I use it.I used the Osage Rub this morning. Yall weren't lying that it's 10x the menthol, wow. My face felt ice cold for about 5 minutes. I may have to trying mixing it with skin bracer to tone it down.
