Hold the CC in you hands for about 30 seconds. The alcohol will cook off and it won't be so harsh.

I like the Ogallala extra strength. The glass stopper bottle is a must-buy, too.
Your search will end right there.
I got my sample of Captain's Choice today. Great scent, and felt really nice on my face.
St John's Bay Rum is a great scent too, and they have samples.

Pinaud Clubman V.I. Bay Rum is the best 
, YMMV

No idea about the other options, but make sure you really shake up the Ogallala before applying it. Trust me!
Lately I have been using PinMaster Bay Rum (mixing Pinaud and Master bay rum together)
Hawleywood No 9 bay rum , gabel house- they work for me just fine

Capt Choice sample arrived yesterday already (I live not far from The Capt - ~45 min drive), tried it after my shave last night (used Mama Bear's bay rum soap) and it lit me up for about 45 seconds or so, face was slightly red for a couple minutes, but it cooled and my skin felt very nice, smooth and soft, wife likes the scent, even my 11yr old boy insisted on trying some before school today 
anyway, the Capt's is a very nice fragrance, a bit strong at first but once it mellows after about an hour its extremely pleasant and refreshing, I'll likely be ordering a bottle here early next week. not sure I'll use it every day, but, definitely a classic scent that needs to stay in my shave den.
for the record - this is the first splash I've ever used in my shaving life (I'm 43 right now). I wasn't sure what to expect, but I sure wasn't disappointed in the slightest.

+1,
C.O. Bigelow makes a Bay Rum Balm. I use it in the winter when I want more moisturizing. You can find it here http://www.bigelowchemists.com/c-o-bigelow-products/men-s/c-o-bigelow-bay-rum-after-shave-balm.html
I was really surprised how nice my skin felt after I tried mine as well. I was not expecting a splash to have that effect.
Lately I have been using PinMaster Bay Rum (mixing Pinaud and Master bay rum together)
Excellent combo! My current BR cocktail is Pinaud V.I. + Stephan BR + Master BR + Gabels Lime.
+1. Captains Choice is fantastic!
Heaven in a bottle! OG br/with sandalwood is my go to scent....100% swmbo approved...ymmv

Haven't used any others, but I like the captain's choice. I picked up a sample and promptly bought the bottle after trying it. Great smell, and makes my skin feel great.
