    Thanks Charlie, I am glad I am here too. If you don't care for B&M Bay Rum, what Bay Rum(s) do you like? Mike's, Krampert's WSP? I tried Mystic Water Bay Rum and although I usually like Michelle's scents, that one didn't work for me. Neither did CRSW, but the fact is, I don't much care for that entire line.

    Here's a minty NEW LC in my stable.

    Delta Echo did their thing with it, and it has become one of my favorite razors.

    Additionally, I was very fortunate to grab this truly NOS NEW SC off the Bay. The upper and lower plates still had the original cardboard insert.

    Joseph, my favorite Bay Rum scent is the Captain's Choice Bay Rum. I've also used the Small Batch Shave Tonic, and that's pretty good also. Not my photo here, but this stuff is hometown made. I don't think any Bay Rum scent will be my "go to" scent like Lavender and Sandalwood, though.

    Definitely, but there is also a bit of regret when it was a good soap. I haven't bought a repeat soap yet.

    Andrew, congrats on all the progress you are making with straight razor shaving. It looks like you're getting the hang of the blade maintenance as well. A little blood on steel or wood, depending on the razor, happens from time to time. Enjoy your day!

    With the heat, I would have assumed you were from my area. I got to do fire drills in the heat yesterday at our refinery. Lots of fun.

    Thanks Charlie! It's a great sense of accomplishment to shave with a razor that you honed yourself!
    Thank you, Jim!
