Smooth shave. The 53 Super Speed is a nice shaver every time. If you haven't tried IB's new line of soaps at $4.99 give them a try, this one is outstanding!!

Brian is another soap and aftershave genius. His Krampert's Bay Rum soap and matching aftershave IMHO, are to die for. What a wonderful shave I had with them! (Rod's pre-shave soap is super-duper also!)

 

I love Krampert's soaps, too.

Another excellent performance from my BB Spartan Bronze brush, hopefully matching an equally superb performance in today's rivalry football game. Go Green!
Der Futur took care of business set on six and left me with a drama free BBS. Krampert's soap provides great protection and glide. I meant to use the matching aftershave, but there wasn't enough left, so I supplemented with B&M Kyovu Bay Rum. My. Face feel and smells great.

Rustic Mahogany today. 20 seconds to load the ER Silvertip. Easy, thick, slick, lather. I loaded a new Rapira Swede in the Red Tip. Great smooth, close, shave. I finished with CC Southern Oud.

Dominica appears to be right at the top of the list of the best Bay Rums.

 

Thank you, Celestino

 

I have 12 Bay Rum As in my den and Dominca is the best one I have come across. No nonsense straight BR, also have the lime version. About 1.5-2 years ago they had a fungus problem that almost wiped out the pimenta racemosa trees in the West Indies and recently started production again but when I first caught wind of the fungus issue I bought three bottles of each just in case and do not know if the new production run is the same quality before the fungus issue. Great stuff in my book.
