Put in bold my favorites

 

Used Pinaud bay rum this morning after my first and excellent shave w/Ogallala bay rum and KMF unscented superlather. The scent of this soap is great, but the lather is the worst I've seen unless you "doctor" it up w/some KMF.

The burn isn't so bad if you do a warm/cold rinse, followed by an alum block. If you apply the alum and then let your face dry (so you can feel the alum tighten up your skin), then cold rinse/pat dry and then cut the Pinaud w/a couple of drops of glycerin, the burn isn't so bad.

Otherwise...:shocked003

And I must be the only one but I actually like the clove scent. And, based on what I've read about it, I wouldn't doubt if it was the clove that made the pinaud sting more than most. But I've only tried the bay rum, so I may be wrong if the other scents burn the same.

Love the scent, can't deal with the burn!

 

Do ALL the Pinaud AS' burn the same?
I have, and enjoy quite a lot, the Special Reserve.
It does burn but not as much as some other BayRums I have......

 

Nope.

I have Musk, Lime Sec, Citrus Musk.

None of them burn like Bay Rum does.

I got rid of my Bay Rum and picked up some Masters from Sally's. That's a much nicer AS in my opinion. Much more balanced fragrance, not as "clovey" smelling. Just as cheap too!

 

Agreed.

Its gotta be the clove.

 

And lack of glycerin.

 

Add Mint!

 

LOL...you guyz r forgetting the Pinaud mantra...Ya just gotta keep repeating...The BURN ain't so bad, The BURN ain't so bad, The BURN ain't so bad...

 

I must be a massochist, b/c I like it. I don't mind it, but am not a big fan of menthol. So getting a morning kick in the face from the Pinaud really wakes me up.

I picked up some masters and I actually prefer the Pinaud scent over the Masters. Masters is too "sweet" and smells like brown sugar & cinnamon to me. Plus the scent is fleeting IMO. Overall It's good stuff, w/the glycerin & low burn and all, but I actually prefer the Pinaud scent...and the burn.

 

I can't wake up without that burn anymore. It has replaced my coffee. I love me some Bay Rum. However, I am using the Ogallala right now - has a "Slower Burn", not as immediate and in your face, but that comforting BR burn that we all seem to enjoy. The Ogallala is not nearly as "Clovey" and though I still occasionally use the Pinaud, it is at the back of my tray right now.

 

I have a similar tale, but mine was Colgate-Pomolive's Mennan Skin Bracer, splashed on an amount the size of a dime. My whole face was in flames. Good thing my wife did not hear me muttered a few obsenities to the shave gods. I am going through a bottle of Combe's Acqua Velva at the moment, does not burn any where as much as the Skin Bracer.
