Bay rum

For my money you can't beat St John's bay rum balm. Great aftershave and the best bay rum scent imo

 

as RazorBurn knows, I might spring for a Bill Neumann product sometime.

 

actually Kevin is cognizant of this, too.

 

Does anyone else like the Col. Conk bay rum? I'm lucky enough to have a brick and mortar shave shop not too far from where I live, and can smell the various brands and scents they sell there. I really like the smell of the Col. Conk Bay Rum, it smells better to me than other bay rums I have smelled, but I have read other people say it doesn't smell like a real bay rum. The Col. Conks has a nice sweet & spicy smell to it that I love.

 

I thinks Conk's Bay Rum actually smells pretty good. It is mild, compared to most of what's out there (that I've tried anyway), I just think that the soap is meh.

I haven't tried Krampert's yet, but Ogallala is my favorite BR soap to date.

 

I'll have to try the Ogallala BR soap. I agree the Col. Conk bay rum soap is only so so, I just love the aftershave. The Lime is pretty good too.

 

Sorry, I didn't even realize where I was posting. Although the Ogallala AS splashes are pretty great. Apologies.

 

I'm sure that's a great one-but unfortunately, Bill Neumann(like Floid) sound great to me, but too many Washingtons($$$$$). Having said that, I did try some Bill Neumann samplers(but not their balm).

 

VCS might be worth a drive for me, unless it is way up in the Burlington vicinity and points north.

 

I've read it's quite good.

 

very little clove, right?

 

Captains Choice now makes a great bay rum balm

 

I agree. Great scent and not a strong clove smell.
