Thread: Bay Rum Parade "AtC"

Hi Glen, thats quite a selection of bay rum you have there... is there a type that you DON'T have?

I have zero experience with Bay Rum, which rendition would you suggest for a newbie that retails for less than $20... also, which one is your absolute favorite?

Thanks,

Justin

I would recommend the Capt Smith's Caribbean regardless of price at this point, but it should be less than $20 shipped....I would only recommend this because I think it gives a good all around Bay Rum experience, watch the burn though if you have sensitive skin....
I really don't have a favorite myself, I really do like them all!!!!
I have heard that there is one made by Pusser's that I would like to try soon...

Great review, answered a lot of questions I had about some of the other brands. I have the Pinaud Clubman line and the only thing I dont like about it is the cheap plastic bottle it comes in. My wife on the other hand, does not like it AT ALL. So, I wear it on work days. Still looking for seme glycerin to add to it...

w12,

Another one which I like is the Taylor of Old Bond Street Bay Rum: it comes in a plastic bottle, always nice in the shave den with those hard floors, and it comes with a pin-hole stopper in the neck of the bottle so you don't pour out the entire contents with a carelessly tipped splash, and it smells good, and it seems to have some "slipperyizer" in it so it isn't quite as astringent as some of the other Bay Rums, and it's arome even can be smelled on ones wetted face 12 hours after it was applied, and it costs $12.99 from Classic (sans shipping).

How's that for a sentence?

I also have the TOBS Bay Rum and like it.
I just ordered some of the Captain's Bay
Rum and am looking forward to using it. My
wife hates the smell of it, but I like it, so
there!

I'm also a bay rum addict..er..fan going back about 20 years or so.

Didn't see Caswell-Massey Michelson's Bay Rum in your grouping. It is one of my alltime favorite bay rums. Very warm, rich and spicey. Caswell claims some orange in the mix and I think I dectect it along with unmistakeable Pimenta Racemosa (Carribean Bay).

I've read others reviews on it, some claiming that the scent doesn't last very long, but I've found that it lasts all day. Not overpowering as some modern fragrances, but I still catch subtle whiffs of it even at the end a hard days work.

One of the more pricey bay rums, but good stuff.
