Hoping there are a few folks here who can give me a review of this product. Very interested in giving it a go, but am wondering if I should bother. Like it or lump it? And if you like it, what soap/cream do you use in combo with it?
Dominica Lime Bay Rum

I love it! I think it is a very refreshing scent with a nice Bay Rum undertone. Now, I have to admit I am a big Bay Rum fan so I'm partial anyway. But it is one of my favorite BR's.
I usually pair it with GFT Lime shaving cream or Castle Forbes Lime shaving cream. Outstanding combo's, IMO.

Love it!
It's an alcohol-based splash containing bay & lime EOs. I don't think there's anything else. So if the shave's been a little rough, you'll feel it. Oh yes, you will.
I also tend to use this stuff on hot days as a body splash after showering. It smells great. The only downside is the smell doesn't last that long.
As to what soap/cream to use? Something citrusy would work. Something w/Bay Rum would (obviously) work. I've also found that rose soaps followed by Bay Rum is a great combo -- or a rose scent to follow your bay rum AS.
Basically, whatever feels right to you -- IS right. Go for it!
I love it, but it sure lets you know when you've had a tough shave. I think I've let some whoops out when splashing it on after I've done a number on myself. If you don't like the prospect of alcohol burn, don't buy this.
I like to pair it up with either a Bay Rum soap or something like Cella. It even works when I use my Arko stick since that scent doesn't linger.

Thanks for the input gents. Gonna give it a go and let you know.
Love Dominica Bay Rum and Lime, it's my go to AS with Mitchell's Wool Fat, like the others experiences, if you had a rough shave, you will feel it. I too wish the scent lasted longer but that's my only complaint.
I'm glad you asked this question. I have the straight Bay Rum from Dominica and love it. I think I'm going to try the Lime version now after reading this thread.
Good for you. More for us.
I like it; there are very few bay rum products I don't like. I use it w/ Ogallala's Bay Rum, Limes & Peppercorns or Bay Rum & Lemon Grass soap. I also use it with T&H's West Indian Limes.
Just finished up a bottle of Dominica Bay Rum and will be placing an order for Bay Rum with Lime just in time for spring/summer. It's true that the smell doesn't last that long, but while it does, it smells great.
