Bay rum is amazing!
I got my first bay rum today, amazing! I just loved the smell. I suspect the last 1/2 oz of gillette A/S is not going to be used in a long time
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?

Bay rum is my favorite scent I am not familiar with the one you got though. My current favorites are Dominica and Royall. I find the Conk's Bay rum soap to be very subdued.
Al raz.

The bottle mentions quite a few uses: After bath, skin cleanser, after shave, astringent and aroma therapy. And it also says J'adore and "Captain Smiths island spice" that might be a name. I bought it from classicshaving.com

Bay rum is great! If you're a fan of the scent (which obviously you appear to be) I'd highly recommend trying Ogallala Bay Rum. The scent is less overpowering than some. Makes your skin feel awesome and they're great people to deal with. They offer a few varieties on the classic bay rum scent.

Agreed... Bay Rum is great stuff
Other than liking the smell of it... it always brings back memories of the old school barber shops.
As a very young boy, I used to love the smell as my local barber splashed it on the back of my neck after "squaring the back" with a straight razor.
Have used it ever since.

If you're going to try Bay Rum - go for Dominica. You can't go wrong for the $$ and its certainly my favorite BR scent. I think Classic shaving carries it. Royall also makes a nice one.

This is one of my favorite bay rums. Real scents and distilled rum. Non of that pansy artificial stuff. I am just finishing a bottle. Time to go shopping I guess. Originally Posted by flyboy
