Bay Rum Bay Rum Bay Rum

i do!

Thor’s Hammer is nice, reminds me of Dominica.

I was going through my soaps and aftershaves last night and forgot that I still had a really old tin of Mike's bay rum.  a damn good rendition of bay rum, imho.  I know Oleo was doing splashes for him, if I recall, but I haven't seen a bay rum splash yet, I don't think...

I actually pulled out and used a Mike’s bay rum that I don’t think I’d touched for a year or two but knew was still around somewhere. Still an awesome shave.

I had a go with Tallow & Steel Indian Bay today.  I hope that qualifies.  It sure is a nice take on this theme.

It qualifies indeed. One of my favourites.

I got my clasico and atomic pumpkin in from PAA this afternoon. for my fellow bay heads, the atomic pumpkin smells amazing!

I’m glad you like it. It’s always a risk when you go by someone else’s recommendations but I’m beginning to think that we have similar tastes in bay rum. I still can’t explain why we don’t agree on Chiselled Face’s version  

Going further down the atomic pumpkin road you might like I Gingerbread Man which has obviously some ginger spice in and maybe a little burnt sugar but still in my opinion a decent bay rum. Blue Samhain goes over the top in the burnt sugar notes and while I do like it I’d recommend getting a sample if possible before committing to a bottle. 

Then there’s Ray Rum The Shaving which is something else entirely. I don’t know if there’s any left but it’s worth a shot. You don’t hear much about it probably because it’s so limited in production. Only 50 sets last year and same this year I think. 

I can say this, I’m grateful to PAA for their commitment to bay rum.

I shaved this morning with Mystic Water Bay Rum. One of my earlier bay rums and I like it now as much as I ever did. I scooped and bowl lathered it with a Semogue Galahad C3 blonde Decemboar brush and it whipped up beautifully. Three passes with the Rockwell 6s / Polsilver SI and topped it off with Thor’s Hammer Bay Rum aftershave. It’s a good day indeed 

I'm sure many of you have noticed, like andrewjs18  has pointed out to me, it seems that the best bay rums like Krampert's for example and the new (to me) Thor's Hammer, and well almost all of them, don't last long in the scent department.  Seriously, its often gone within 5 or 10 minutes which is ok if you don't mind reapplying frequently but if you're out and about you can't do that...unless you have one of Krampert's Bay Rum hip flasks!! 

So, cutting to the chase, why hasn't anyone made some Bay Rum EDT/EDP?  I think there would be a market for it.  Which bay rums that are on the market would you like to see in the EDP/EDT format?

Haters can keep their comments to themselves, we know how you feel. 

I came across this one today no experience with it as I still haven't tried a Bay Rum soap or splash yet. It's pricey but with the EDP strength a little probably goes a long way.
