Question about Bootlegger's
- Thread starter CzechCzar
- Start date
Well folks, thanks to this thread I've now ordered some Pinaud VIBR, Masters and Superior 70. I've got a nice vintage Avon bottle that's about halfway full of a 50/50 mix of Stephen's and Lustray that once I use up, will be replaced with the bootleggers recipe from @OkieStubble.
I really love Stephan’s bay rum. Regardless of what I use as an aftershave I use Stephan’s for a body splash. I got VIBR recently. I like it but it’s a little heavy handed on the clove so I’ll probably get some Masters and Superior 70 to mix up a batch of Bootlegger’s.
Stephan's is a decent inexpensive Bay Rum splash. Good purchase!
Bootlegger's original Bay Rum gets better with age. I cracked a bottle open just before the last Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. I could clearly, smell an absolutely wonderful peppery not in the Bay Rum that I had never noticed or smelled before.
I don't know at what time in the ageing process or time frame this happened, but it pleaseantly shocked me enough, that I immediately mixed up two more bottles and put them in a dark cool place to age and get some time under them while I am using up the current opened bottle. Bay Rum with a pepper note is fantastic stuff!
When I shave at the sink, I usually shave with no shirt on. After the shave, a rinse and a pat dry with the towel, It's a splash of witch hazel and then I am getting dressed. Once my undershirt is on, I splash on my Bootlegger's Original Bay Rum and then immediately wipe my hands on the T-shirt on my chest. I usually carry a pistol everywhere I go, so I wear a button up shirt over the t-shirt. I can smell the pure goodness, of Bootlegger's Bay Rum wafting up from my face and chest, all day long.
Do you use the Green Freeze only in warmer weather Ted? Or just whenever?
Man, we must be brothers my friend! I must also say this: that one leaves my incredibly handsome face feeling BETTER than any balm. Just the perfect blend, AND I use it winter, summer....it just works. Has decent legs too.I love them all very much, but the Lime Bay Rum is my favorite.
I've missed you Okie ! I'm going to be in Missouri soon, maybe next year I'll look to your neck of the woods in the Winter. Ol' @ackvil found out I snored and has a restraining order against me, so that's out!
I'm HOPING to meet up with a B&B brother in all of my future travels. I can right off all my travel expenses in Arkoland. I'm a sovereign there.

Lol'd.
Mostly the summer, but sometimes, in cooler weather, you just need that blast of cold. And at this time of year I get impatient for the warmth of summer.
Snored? I thought you were calling in the cattle from a feedlot!
Yeah, warm springtime weather, I’m using up my Aqua Velva and Vintage Skin Bracers that just tease with the menthol. I just sit and wait for that first, hot sticky, muggy days of Summer, so I can splash on some refreshing Green Freeze and get a full cooling blast of menthol all over my face!
Did not have any Skin Bracer so mixed some Osage Rub with Stephan 320 lotion. Kind of vanilla, mint, eucalyptus and menthol. It's Green and it Freezes.

Close enough.
On the strength of your post, I ordered a bottle of Thor's Hammer aftershave. It came on Saturday and I used it this morning. First class product! Thank you for the post. Will be checking out their website to see if anything else looks interesting.
