Ogallala Bay Rum lime and peppercorn...
It has a great scent off the puck. The lime might be a bit unnatural, it's hard to tell in the big picture. The spice of the bay rum adds a nice kick and the pepper really blends into the BR, enhancing it. It carries the scent through the shave. It's great and makes me want to do another pass or twelve. Lol.
Upon rinsing, I really only smell the Bay... And very light at that (a lot less than their BR Vanilla).
All in all, a pretty good shave. I think I find Ogallala a middle-of-the-road performer for protection with awesome unique scents (and a low price tag) to keep you using it.
Might need to shave with the Bay Cedar Sage next, to compare all three while this one is fresh in my mind.

Several years ago I got my first Reef Point soap and was immediately a fan of the slickness it offered. Today's shave was Intrepid, a nod to vintage Brut. I really like old Brut as it takes me back to the 70s and the powerhouse colognes of the day. In fact I'm wearing it now. Intrepid is not the same aromatic fougere as is Brut but it sure gets me ready for that juice when the shave is complete. Although the soap misses the the mark on scent the performance is almost too good. If I don't water this thirsty soap down its cushion is so great as to hinder closeness. Slick? Makes me feel like I need cleats on my shoes to shave safely. I really like Reef Point and am sad they are gone.

Wholly Kaw King of Bourbon
I like Reef Point as well. Excellent soapmaker. Picked up a tub of Test Depth as they were closing to add to my other two Reef Point soaps.

Morning Ghost t. (Cold River Soap Works, Glide) ★★★★☆ bergamot, vetiver, wood
Catch a glimpse of your self in a steamy mirror when you're all lathered up with this soap and you'll see the morning ghost.
Though thin, these suds aren't faint and apart from their name there's nothing airy about them. The lather starts off stringy, looking like a bowl of ectoplasm, but give it a good drenching and soon you'll have a mug full of tight lather that's so glossy and slick you'll think it's been oiled.
