When to use Bay Rum?
Hi everyone, I'm hoping you can help me.
I am in contact with the guys at Ogallala about purchasing there 5 sample pack of bay rum and shipping it here to Germany but after reading the forums I'm a bit stumped about where to put it in my shave setup.
So after the shave I:
Cold water rinse
AlumBlock (let it soak for a few minutes)
warm rinse
Lime Skin Food
Any ideas? I like the setup at the moment for work as the scent of the skin food dissipates, but the experiences that some members here have made me want to try it and it sounds good for weekends with the GF or evenings.
Thanks PPL!

If you want to work it into your current set-up, I would use it before the Skin Food. Give it a few minutes to dry out before applying the SF.
In the summer, when it's not so dry out, I skip the skin food and just use Dominica Bay Rum (I put about 1/4 teaspoon of glycerin in the bottle).

Thanks guys, that seems to be what I was thinking as I knew the SF left some kind of "film" on the skin!
Can't wait to try it!
Thanks!

Wow. I didn't realize there was such a ritual. I just wipe off the soap and apply the bay rum (or sometimes Witch Hazel or some type of commercial after shave.

I rinse my face with warm water to make sure all the soap is off my face, than I pat cool water on my face (I hate ice cold water) , I dry my face , I clean up my mess in the bathroom and let my face relax while Im cleaning my brush and drying my razor, then I put on bay rum.

I'm quite happy to change the setup if the Bay Rum does the same job as either the Alum Block or SF.
With my original setup I find that the SF is moisturising but I find that the Alum Block is great for helping to keep visible razor burn to a min.
Hope this helps with the thought process!

Love the Ogalala BR! Use it in warm weather right after WH. Although the Ogallala does contain WH as well.
