Thread: Bay rum is amazing!

sorry to bump up an older thread (well, only a few days past, now...) but I just wanted to share....

Bay Rum is like crack to me. I can't get enough. And no, I don't smoke it.

I have Pinaud's Virgin Island Bay Rum, and The Shave Den Bay Rum splash. Both are awesome, but different from each other.

I also have samples of Ogallala Special Reserve (the best, IMO), regular Bay Rum, and Bay Rum & Sandalwood. I also have Booster's Bay Rum. I like the Booster's the least, so far.

For soaps, Ogallala Bay Rum (full puck), Bay Rum & Lemongrass (sample puck, smells too much like lemon), Bay Rum, Limes & Peppercorns (sample wedge, nice smell), and Bay Rum & Sandalwood (sample wedge, nice smell). I think the Bay Rum and Sandalwood scents go well together.

I am a Bay Rum junkie, and I think I need to pick up that Captain something-or-other in the OP. Thanks.

can someone describe the "bay rum"-scent to me?

I never did extensive research towards various aftershave scents... except the Tabac-smell, which I adore.

The bottle says "Caribbean Imported Bay Rum Imported by Body Crystal"
I also got some Sandalwood soap by Classic brand.

Are this products good stuff or could I do even better the next time?

Pusser's is a favorit of mine. If you plug it in and do a search you'll find the bottle. They also make a lime splash that is very impressive as well.

Truckman is right, the Ogallala Bay Rum and Sandalwood is very nice, mild, sweet and refreshing. Like you, I seem to go back to the Body Crystal Bay Rum, with Lime. Great scent, a burn that makes Aqua Velva almost feel like rose water by comparison, very refreshing, and the price.

As a bonus, using Bay Rums in the big-mouth bottles finally taught me how to pour AS efficiently, with a thumb over the opening in the bottle to control the stream and not make a big mess. I use the same technique with Aqua Velva too. Ogallala has the coolest bottles though, hands down.

Never thought about using my thumb, will def do that the next time
