Krampert's finest second for scent and probably first for how it leaves my face feeling. GREAT for drier days.
Have not used any others. Bay Rum is something I use sparingly, so I will continue to pay for top quality $18 for a bottle that will likely give me 6 months-1 year is just fine with me.
Bootlegger's. Which is a mix of Pinaud VIBR, Master BR and Superior 70. Those three all have their pros and cons, but when mixed together, it is a very harmonious, synergystic blend. And very cheap!
My fave os Captain's Choice Co9t. The scent is amazing - deep and dark with little clove or sweetness. And its probably the best in terns of how it conditions the face and hides irritation. The scent stays a while too, but not so much that anybody who is not intimate with me can smell it.
After this, would be Ogallala Special Reserve Double Strength Cologne. Its the longest lasting Bay Rum I've found. More sweet and spicy than Co9t. Shake very well before using.
My daily is Pinaud VIBR. Primarily because its an awesome skin conditioner. The Christmas Cookies smell vanishes quick.
