Bay Rums

[aja1732]

So I just used a sample of Mike's Bay Rum today and wow. At first I was hesitant because I wasn't sure what to expect from just the scent but once I lathered it on my face the different hints all came out of the soap. It was....amazing. I didn't think something so simple could be so complex. My question is, I see a ton of different Bay Rum type soaps out there. Are they all just as complex as Mike's? Are some more intense? More lax?

I know some people say the Bay Rum irritates but if anything it made my skin come alive.

Next up will be the Barbershop and Coconut.

I'm a big Mike's Natural fan, but have not yet tried his Bay Rum. I do use Mystic Water's Bay Rum and find it to have a wonderful scent and perform as well as Mike's.

You're in for a treat with Barbershop, one of my favorite scents.

I have one more shave on my Mike's Bay Rum sample. I actually prefer the stronger clovey bay rum scent of Ogallala. As I currently have pucks of Ogallala BR and their BR + Sandalwood and a tub of SRD West Indies Bay I probably won't order a tin of Mikes BR for now. Barbershop and Coconut are two I want to try after my samples of Rose & Cedarwood and Orange, Cedarwood & Black Pepper are gone.

I have a tin of Mike's Bay Rum. Love it. Pairs magnificently with Captain's Choice AS. It is next up in my 3017 quest.

~~~huge fan here of Ogallala Bay Rum/Sandalwood shave soap, then to finish I like to use Pinaud Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum A/S. that said, I can only use this A/S 4 X's in a row with this soap, otherwise a low grade burn will come to fruition. it isn't the soap and only happens when I use Pinaud's Bay Rum but I'm oh so happy to make the run up with it

Jon PIF'd me a small bottle of Shulton's Old Spice...he claimed it burned him. I could feel a mild burn shortly after putting it on but then the burning stops almost as fast as it starts, and I have no problem using it day after day if I want



Best,

I like Ogallala Citrus Bay and Honeybee Bay Rum, which doesn't have the clovey scent.

I'm a big fan of SCS Bay Rum with a twist. The lather is excellent.

How do those compare to Mike's?

Barrister & Mann Bay Rum for me.

Mike's Bay is fab and I still like OBR lime and pepper. Mike's leaves my face oh so nice!

hmmmm, given the quality of Mike's soaps it might make more sense to stick to that. Don't get me wrong, I like scents. But scent ranks way behind soap performance and other qualities on what I look for in a soap. However,Mike's scents are complex and I like that. Very unique. I just dislike lanolin but the performance, moisturizing properties... it's a winner.

Another good one is Mundus Bay Rum available on etsy.com. I follow up with Kramperts Finest Bay Rum AS.

If it is possible to beat Mike's in scent or overall shave quality, I have yet to find how. He truly makes WONDERFUL products at a very reasonable price.
