    Hey, at least you could find it locally.
    The only thing I got is Clubman and the Veg(gag)

    if you ever see that woman again, ask her if her husband was around in the 1600's when the idea of Bay Rum as a scent began.

    I'd also ask her if she was aware the scent was created to help mask the repellent aroma of the average hungover Caribbean sailor. :D

    Shaved with Route 66 "Rum Runner" this morning. Finished up with VIBR. Nice!

    For the same reason the Veg(shudder) is so popular...it's a cult! :)

    good choice for a double BR effect.

    Some wet shavers like the latest and greatest items, and some like the old school. I tend to enjoy both.

    I am a big pinaud fan...vibr, Clubman, special Reserve, veg, etc.

    Couldn't say, but I like it. And you don't have to be chosen, ya just wear it.

    It's been in barbershops for decades. Something must be right about it.

    I do not recall a Barbershop ever smelling like Bay rum though. For me Clubman does. I just don't like it. But I've got a sensitive sniffer and that smell doesn't agree with me. I don't even know if I can finish my sample of B&M Spice, because that's too strong.

    How about trying a BR that is combined equally in scents? Stephan is a good example of this.

    I'm open to suggestions but my first known exposure to BR did not agree with me. I know each one will smell different however. It doesn't even have to be a big brand. I'm open to artisans as well.

    superior 70 is an astringent that works nicely as an aftershave treatment. The scent is a clean bay rum.
    Its very inexpensive and readily available in most drug stores.
    I've had a few herbal additives in mine for years. Although I've used it on its own as well. 20170214_085456_resized.jpg

    Haven't seen it in the CVS here.....certainly worth looking around in others(drug stores).

    I like to use the Pinaud/Clubman Bayrum following my shave with the WSP Rustic Blackbeard Shaving Soap.

    Look near where they sell rubbing alcohol, witch hazel, and peroxide.
    Edit, i didn't see it on their website, can you try Walgreens our Wal-Mart?

    Congo hot today in the Great Garden State, so after a great shave with Route 66 "Rum Runner", I splashed on that cooling elixir Clubman VIBR and I was good to go!
