Thread: Home made Bay Rum.

Gday Gentlemen.

I am thinking about making my own bay rum as per the info contained in both Jockeys thread and The Art of Manliness website. Just wondering whether anybody over here has tried? If so could you please share your experiences. I would appreciate any input.

Cheers

Mykel

Wish I could help mate, but I haven't given it a go yet either.

Cheers Mick. Happy Holidays mate. I have a brother based in Reddy/Kippa Ring and have often thought about treating myself to one of your strops. My professional situation unfortunately has allowed me no such indulgence over the last year or more. Hopefully soon. On a side note, I was speaking to the guy at my local shavershop the other day.. they no longer stock the black beauty strops any longer and are finding it difficult to find another supplier. Apparently they are looking to consistently stock a brand of strop through each store nationwide. I may be completely wrong but this could be an opportunity to pursue. Give it a nudge mate and see what happens.

Cheers

Thanks mate, I'll look into it with a phone call and a product sample if they tell me they're interested. Thanks for the heads up mate.
Hope you had a good holiday. I just managed to escape being flooded in out west, so my holidays are going to have to be re-scheduled.

Mykel,
I've been toying with the idea of putting together some of my own bay rum too. There's a heap of recipes on the net and i've gathered most of the ingredients. The key part of the process is putting it all together whish is the part i haven't done yet. It'll take a few weeks of sitting around waiting, but i'm sure the satisfaction of making something useful yourself will make it worth the wait.
You may have just inspired me to complete the process myself too.

Cheers

Hey Huey.

Sounds cool. What are you using? Bay wise? The essential oil or Pimenta Whatiever leaves? This is my biggest obstacle. Not sure which way to go or even if I can source the fresh West Indian Bay leaves.

I do know I can get hold of some Vodka and Rum though.

One for me... one for my aftershave

Post your recipe if you can. And keep the thread updated with your results if you actually go ahead. Thanks for the reply too.

Mykel.
