Bay Rum Bay Rum Bay Rum

Well, that sounds like good news. 

Here’s the thing about almost all bay rum aftershaves, as great as they may smell, they’re mostly just water, alcohol and fragrance. This Citrocol is no exception. Don’t get me wrong, I love almost all of them but there is very little in the way of skin “nourishing “ ingredients in them. The Ogallala toners have some and the PAA bay rum and variants have a little too as well as the Tallow + Steel but the absolute gold standard for post shave skin nourishment has got to be the Ethos trifecta of 
Skin Food Lotion / Splash / Serum and to have those in an original (two!) bay rum(s) is, in my opinion a really special thing. Maybe Frank Dragonsbeard  will eventually fill out the Tortolla skin food splash with a lotion and serum.  I know I’d buy them. 

Hats off to the innovators and visionaries in wet shaving who are working to improve and enhance our shaving experience and even elevating the bay rum experience!!

Hi Dom, yes I have and it contains great nutrients too. Sorry, I just went off the top of my head.

I've tried a handful of bay rums; b&m, col conk, CF etc. So far my absolute favorite based on scent has been Ogallala. I havent tried to soap, but the double strength splash is incredible

a little birdy told me my 2 scent samples are coming soon for my DFS bay rum. 

Any updates? Did you kill the Birdy ? The mailman ?

I like that one too. Their soap smells great but isn’t a great base. It’s unfortunate that they won’t upgrade their soap. I challenge (beg?) any top tier soap maker to make a dupe/homage of Ogallala in their base.

lol, no!

they came and I have them sitting on my desk next to my computer as I type this. I wouldn't run them as a traditional bay rum, nor as a bay rum where I proclaimed bay rum as the dominant scent. I'm going to run 1 of those in the near future (possibly towards the end of 2023) and just note that there are hints of bay rum within the scent blend.

Totally agree with the aftershave.  Soap is vegan so doesn't work as well as I like.  Fixed it by adding tallow from another soap that had no scent.  Now it lathers up like a dream and still has most of the Ogallala bay rum smell.

Fantastic!

Does the Barberry Coast aftershave have much of a clove scent?
