I was at a different walgreens than I normally go to and they had clubman bay rum, so I thought I would give it a go. Well I love the scent, not very bay like much more clove, but I like it. I think it smells like pie! I will say that the word "sting" in the understatment of the decade. Holy cow that stuff must be 95 proof! I like the burn of an alcohol but wow babby that stuff is like the surface of the sun. I think I like it.
You see, that stuff is a great test of your shaving abilities. There should be little or no sting. If you have a lot it means you either need to work on your razor or your skills shaving.
Your right that stuff is almost all alcohol. However its cheap and smells good.
I am sure I do need some more skill, but I like the sting. The stuff does smell great and is cheap as. I was pumped to find it locally.
The fun part is that if you go to their website, they'll show you the locations that have the item in stock.
Go to Sally Beauty Supply and pick up the Master Bay Rum. If you like it (I like it better) you can order it by the gallon... literally! And it's even cheaper then Clubman.Quote:

Until I got some samples from Ogallala and got myself a bottle of Dominica BR. Ever since I gave both the Master BR and Clubman BR away. My personal preference goes to more BR and less Clove. YMMV off course. None the less I did enjoy both the Master BR and Clubman BR.
Ah! That explains it. Ogallala was the only Bay Rum I'd used until last week when I picked up a bottle of Pinaud's Clubman. (I think I prefer the Ogallala but the Clubman is available locally and it's --well, cheap.) The first day I used it, I thought, "Wow! This stiff is like a porcupine in a bottle!" The second day there was very little sting. The difference was in my rotation. Day one I had used my Revisor which admittedly needs to be sent out. The second day, I switched to my trusty little Torrey. What a difference.Quote:

Haha... got some Clubman Bay Rum a while ago and the bottle broke at the cap, in shipment. When it got here the smell was very intoxicating... kinda ruined it for me: now every time I smell that bay rum, I really wanna puke. I think it's lacking subtlety, a lot. No offense but it reminds me of the dollar store cologne I'd wear in elementary school, I think it was called Florida water cologne... Cheap is an understatement. Actually, I think i'm gonna toss it. Anybody wants a free bottle? :gth

Ems Bay Rum ASB has a fantastic scent. It is a first class product too.;)
i have just about all the clubman/pinaud fragrances. i like all except the lilac vegital and i have yet to figure out what the heck that is supposed to be:hmmm:. the citrus and lime are fair. the newer musk and vanilla are great. the special reserve and the bay rum are very similar. the classic is somewhat like the vanilla. i guess it up to your own preference. i think they remind me of an old barber shop my grandfather took me to when i was 4 or 5 years old..very nostalgic.
