Thread: Bay Rum Parade "AtC"

I am still interested in hearing if anyone has tried the Turtle Bay products. I used their "aftershave Plus" in Israel when I ran out of Dominica. It is a bit heavier feeling, more viscous, if that makes sense. the scent also was a little heavier, but it was still very refreshing and I liked using it. I really enjoyed the fact that you can order it in a bottle or in a stainless steel hip-flask!

I'm surprised nobody here has given a review. Barclay Crocker has a very nice selection of bay rums including the Turtle Bay products.

Haha... that's funny... I was actually searching on Amazon to see about ordering some a few minutes ago after reading your post!

Well Gents thanks a lot , I had Pinaud Bay Rum and like it a lot but reading about all the others I now have a sampler of Ogallala and love the scents now I'm hooked and wonder what to get next.

My care package came in today and now have some CC lime A/S and a bottle of Dominica Bay Rum, can't wait to try them.

I recently took delivery of the Captain's Choice Bay Rum as well as their "Cat o Nine Tails" product. I liked the Bay Rum okay, though I don't find it notably better than Dominica. As for the Co9T, honestly, I don't know why there is so much excitement over the "burn." Dominica has a much stronger initial burn than the Co9T. The latter does hang on a while, but not so much as to merit, in my judgment, putting it in the permanent rotation. I will use up this bottle before making a final judgment, but for me, Cat o' Nine Tails is not a keeper. Not bad, just not sufficiently noteworthy to keep buying. The Captains Choice Bay Rum Aftershave is pretty nice, but again, I'm not immediately struck that it's a cut above the other better bay rums I've tried. So far, my favorites remain Dominica and Turtle Bay.

Where's the best place to find Turtle Bay?

I'm not trying to promote a vendor here, but for information only, you can order either from their own site at:

Turtle Bay Rum or from Barclay Crocker, at:

Barclay Crocker, Inc. :: Colognes & Perfumes

I went to the barber yesterday and he slapped some Stephan's Bay Rum on the back of my neck. I really liked the scent and it has staying power. I took a shower about five hours after my haircut and could still smell the Stephan's.
I almost always use a balm instead of a lotion but I might buy a bottle of this. An added bonus is the wife liked it and we usually don't like the same scents.

Yes - I've got the Cat as well, very earthy, definitely takes a bit getting used to, it's a so / so for me. I'll put in on simply to use as an AS, but not for anything special. And yes, that so-called, feel the burn, didn't really ever feel it, at least no where close to the point that is claimed....

The Stephans has a great feel as an a/s and it's light and pleasant--I doubt you could overdo it application-wise, its so light. If you like the Stephans, try Gabels Bay Rum sometime---another barber shop classic--great scent and feel also..
