I live near the shop where this aftershave is sold. I called yesterday and learned that a new batch is in the works. The only Bay Rum AS that I've used is Captain's Choice, and I like it. Is this AS better than the CC?
Never used Captain's Choice, so I can't help you there. It feels and smells better than the five other Bay Rums that I've tried, even if the scent is much milder.
That's crazy irresponsible and highly illegal! So many of the artisans are shipping alcohol based aftershaves illegally. The Feds are cracking down on this kind of stuff and now it falls under the domestic terrorism policy.
Well, I stopped by the Derby City Chop Shop and picked up a bottle of the Small Batch Shave Tonic this morning. When I called, the gentleman that answered said that he only had eight bottles in the shop and that it was going fast. When I got there, I saw three bottles, and another guy in line was buying one of those. I have # 4 of 76. Batch was dated 16 Dec 2015. $25 out the door. I look forward to giving it a try. I can only compare it to the CC Bay Rum. Thanks, everyone, for the recommendation.
Looks like they've changed up the look of the bottle slightly. I'm glad they seem to be able to keep it in stock more or less permanently these days. My fiancée makes a dry comment anytime I wear anything other than Shave Tonic. I'm down to about a third of a bottle left from my first bottle. Still have another unopened one, and am thinking about adding a couple more to the stash. This is one aftershave I do not want to be without.
About a year. Depends on how much you use, too. There is a shaker insert in these that limits how much you can dump out, which will extend the life of your bottle considerably.
By the way, how long did it take to arrive. I ordered Tuesday morning and I still have not heard anything even though they accepted the payment.
I don't remember. They shipped mine in a priority mail box. Took about 4-5 days if I remember correctly. You can contact them on Facebook, they usually get back to you in an hour or two. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...yEdk4DYM0A9rsMKew&sig2=uaGlYuBWJICwF0-qtP3KWg
