    This is a review for Krampert's Finest Bay Rum. My bottle was a gift but other than that I have no financial ties to Krampert's Finest. Now that Mr. Krampert has reformulated his recipe this amazing and market changing product is now available at an unbelievable price. You can see more about this Bay Rum on his website...
    www.krampertsfinest.com

    Price: What I have was gifted to me. Thanks so much Brian! So price, even if I had paid the retail would certainly be worth every cent and still receive a "10" from me.

    Quality: Simply superb. I've not used another product that worked so brilliantly. Mr. Krampert has a market changer on his hands here.

    Fights Razor Burn: I have nothing in my post-shave arsenal that works as well as this bay rum for repairing my skin after a harsh shave.

    Cooling Sensation: N/A

    Scent: To put it nicely I have only ever tolerated bay rum scents and my wife has vetoed each bay rum I've let her sniff. Krampert's Finest is the only bay rum that I thoroughly enjoy the scent of and even my wife likes it. She still doesn't like the smell of it in the bottle, but something magic happens when it interacts with my skin and then it get's a two thumbs up and even a wink!

    Efficacy: This stuff is the epitome of efficacy for an aftershave product. It removes any irritation and repairs the skin from a rough or harsh shave. It doesn't require a horrible alcohol burning sensation to do it either. It does not dry out your skin, in fact it has better moisturizing capability than many balms I've tried. It leaves my face/neck feeling refreshed, smooth, and soft after each use. Bottom line is that Krampert's Finest actually accomplishes what all other aftershave products set out to do.

    Moisturizing: This is the reason that Mr. Krampert shared his product with me. I have pretty dehydrated skin which causes my face to overproduce oil and gives me an oily complexion. Most splashes leave me way too dry and tight while most balms leave me greasy and sticky. This bay rum hydrates my skin amazingly. If I need more moisturizing, then I just use more product. It never leaves my face with that Sahara desert dry and tight feeling that so many other alcohol based splashes do. It's quite amazing what Mr. Krampert has accomplished with a splash type aftershave since it moisturizes better than many thick balms.

    No Alcohol Burn: Being a bay rum I was kind of expecting a decent burn when applied after a rough shave. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised at the lack of this. The most I could say that I've noticed is a gentle warming sensation that just feels comforting. Maybe that's all those quality ingredients going to work helping to repair my skin.

    I said it before and I'll say it again... Krampert's Finest Bay Rum is a market changer. He's put together the best aspects of a splash, with the best aspects of a moisturizing balm and delivers it all in a classically masculine scent that makes you feel confident and wise. You won't come across as some punk kid who you can smell coming around the corner. You also won't be wondering where this amazing scent disappeared to just minutes after application. It's there subtly all day if you really look for it. This is surely the bay rum of gentlemen!

    Thank you for a wonderful product!

    It sounds interesting, I may have to give this one a whirl. I lol'd hard when I read his website though.

    "I put the ingredients here for you to see before you buy because I am proud of what is in Kramperts Finest Bay Rum, but I am even more proud of what is not in it.

    The scent is from the finest spices, essential oil, and plant extracts that I can find. The scent is not made in a beaker from a chemical reaction.

    Ingredients: Plant Extracts, Isopropyl Alcohol, moisturizers, essential oil, spices."

    It is without a doubt, the most unhelpful ingredient listing I have ever seen. Especially after saying "I put the ingredients here for you to see...".

    I'm glad you like it, and like I said, I'll give this one a spin. I'm a sucker for bay rum.:D The price and shipping seem reasonable as well.

    I'd suggest contacting him through the website. Or, another option would be to order from Phil @ Bullgoose as he stocks it.

    Contact him directly and he will arrange the delivery. I believe the current cart software just cant deal with international orders. I had no problem.

    I wish I could have this stuff shipped here to Canada, but the Canadian Customs would probably confiscate it. :(

    Great review SharpSpine.

    Most of my other AS bottles have been sitting ignored since I found Krampert's. I got a generous sample from Brian and after a couple of uses I ordered a full size bottle. The scent is pleasant and as was stated on another forum to summarize their review: "It works."

    Why would they do that? I think the formula was modified to accomodate international orders. Its good stuff!

    As others have mentioned, if you are into Bay Rum Krampert's is good stuff. I tried it and discovered that I am not a Bay Rum kinda guy.
