Original Bay Rum is a great finish for a night shave.
Agreed! I really like the original Bay Rum!

I do too. Classic smell of Bay Rum with a great moisturizing feel on the skin. A lifetime supply to be had on the cheap.
What’s not to love?

It’s been a while since I used Eldorado. As hot as it’s been the greens and menthols have been my choice. But, today, Eldorado just seemed to be the perfect choice.
Awesome! I have always been very seasonal with my aftershaves. And you are right, these hot dog days of Summer in August, just seems to cry out for blue or green menthol splashes.
I don’t think I have ever tried my own EL Dorado when the temps are hot. Not even for a night shave which I think would be nice!
When I created the Bootlegger’s Series of aftershaves, my goals for each of them, was in making an outstanding mix for the different seasons.
While many use them all year, I personally like them in this order.
Bootlegger’s Original Bay Rum: colder weather, especially around the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
Bootlegger’s Lime Bay Rum: Springtime and warmer weather. Sometimes night shaves on the cooler days of Summer.
Bootlegger’s Green Freeze and Artic Lime Blast: are both perfect, cooling splashes for the hot, humid and sticky, sweaty times of the year.
Bootleggers Perfecto Maduro: is a great cooler weather scent like in the fall. Very much Reminiscent vibe, like Tabac has in cooler weather.
Bootlegger’s EL Dorado: just has that manly, masculine John Wayne type of scent that can be used anytime of year, day or night.
And lastly, Bootlegger’s Perfecto Virginia, with it’s non spicy and pure bay oil, with slight hints of orange citrus and green tobacco flower, make it especially perfect for those humid summertime nights out on the town when a nice change up from menthol splashes is desired.
@Ted A if you have never tried my Bootlegger’s Perfecto, PM me your mailing address and I will send you a gift sample for you to try. Many who have tried it, gave it wonderful reviews back before one of its ingredients was discontinued and became impossible to acquire.
I would love to send you some and hear what you think about it?

Thank you for these wonderful formulations! I do enjoy them - a lot.

You're very welcome David. I am glad you enjoy them!
Went with El Dorado today.

I've found that, over time, the scent of the Bootlegger's mixes actually gets better. El Dorado more so than the others, but I think it's true for all of them.
Agreed. I do notice the good you ageing more with EL Dorado than I do Green Freeze.
It could just be my perception, but I swear I can discern a peppery note in the Original Bay Rum when it’s aged.
Green Freeze is exactly what my face wanted this morning
I had a great afternoon shave today myself and finished it off with Bootlegger's Artic Lime Blast! Cold & Limey!
One of these days I‘ll mix some more, but I have a little time yet. I tend to wait until I collect the ingredients for a couple of blends and then mix several. I have to get around to the bay rum and lime bay rum soon
