What's new

Any brick and mortar stores carry...

When it comes to brick and mortar stores I have found treasures in locally owned beauty supply stores.

Granted they focus on hair salon products but you will be surprised that some carry barber supplies.
 
Here's my experience (YMMV etc...):

Pinaud Bay Rum - available at Walgreens, but not every store. Check out their online search function to check if a local store carries it, and call to verify before your journey

Domenica Bay Rum - available from Orvis, but again, not every store stocks it. Call first to verify

Masters Bay Rum - available in every Sally's Beauty Supply that I've ever been in here in NC.

Royall Bay Rum - available at both J&R Cigars outlet that I've tried here in NC.

C.O. Bigelow's Bay Rum - available at some (but few) B&BW's. Again, call to confirm. I heard when I was in my local B&BW that they're bringing out a new "color" of Bigelow Barber Elixir (white) that will be bay-rum-like on the second of Nov, and that they will be expanding their Bigelow line to include the bay rum splash and balm at certain stores in the future.

FWIW, my choices of those I've tried (in descending order) -

Domenica
Royall
Masters
Pinaud
(I haven't tried the Bigelow Bay Rum Cologne splash, but have the balm and enjoy it)

Good luck, and enjoy!

The Royall Bay Rhum (which happens to be my personal favorite) is available at Brooks Brothers, but that's probably not the most cost-effective way to get it. Pasteur's Pharmacy in NYC has a few to choose from as well, if you are near NYC.

That's B&B right there. Ask a question and be prepared for the complete, thorough and accurate answer.

Well done.
 
I know you are asking for a place to pick up Bay Rum locally, but I would highly recommend Ogallala Bay Rum aftershave. You would have to order it online, but I find that stuff not only works wonders on my face after a shave, but also smells great. Customer service there is also superb.

Ogallala Bay rum is a great product. It's the only Bay Rum I carry in my shop.
 
Awww, gee shucks!:redface:

Like your new avatar, BTW...

Thanks! I decided I needed a change. I need to create an album to you can clearly see my profile pic (a Fox in shirt & tie, standing in front of a portrait of badgers).

I'm looking forward to checking out that expanded CO Bigelow line. Thanks for the info!
