I was able to whine loudly enough that someone here agreed to sell me a small sample of it and I tried it this morning. This is definitely NOT an aftershave for mid October in northern Ohio! I couldn't smell anything but menthol once applied, and it was a solid freeze. I don't think there is anything to recommend it beyond that though. On a hot day it would be better I think.
osage Rub - Woof! Man, that's MENTHOL

On a hot day I'm reaching for the Osage. Last thing I want in the cold though. Revisit it when it gets warm again.
bah.
Osage is good any time, anywhere.
And it goes with almost anything.
Really.
Feel it.

Exactly. I never did get the idea of using menthol only in the summer. It gets even better when you walk out on a brisk morning!

I remember the first time I used Osage Rub after a shave... I was scared for a minute as my face kept feeling colder and colder 
Good stuff!
Good stuff!
Love that Osage rub but it even gets my fingers cold for a while. Kinda weird feeling
Osage Rub = Mentholated Chuck Norris in a bottle!!
Giddyup!!
I was given a sample of this. I didn't want to try it at night fearing that I might never get to sleep. So I woke up this morning and shaved and finished off with this Osage... I first thought wow, this is refreshing. A couple seconds later I felt like I had placed my head in the fridge. Light crisp feeling. Then I decided to leave the house and go to work. That is when I had found that the heavens decided to great me at the door step by shooting a cool balmy breeze to my face. The breeze plus the osage nearly froze me in my steps and I had to gather myself before I could make it to the car. It was nice.
If there's anything colder than Osage Rub.... I don't want to know about it. 
I don't know how much more numbness my face could handle.

Agreed. Anytime, anywhere. Rocket fuel for the wet shaver.
The first place I'd try is your local barber/beauty supply shop. That's where I scored my bottle, along with lots of other fun stuff. If you check your local yellow pages or search online, I'd bet that Houston has PLENTY of 'em. One caveat: Sally's Beauty Supply, although it carries Clubman and Masters Bay Rum, doesn't stock OR. With Houston's large Hispanic population, I'm sure you'll find not only OR, but lots of other cheap and funky options that can be really fun to explore. Good luck and Dosvidanya (did I spell that right?!)
Real men(i.e. wetshavers) wear Osage even in the winter, in the middle of the arctic circle!
