The Scent

Way back in the glory days of salty sea dogs, sailors used rum tinctures of West Indie bay and spices as disinfectants, fragrances, deodorants, and aftershaves. Over time, many famous fragrance and shaving houses adopted the custom and offered their own versions of the classic scent, which proved to be extremely popular with barbers as well.

Barrister and Mann® is proud to offer our own version of a classic Bay Rum. Dispensing with the modern custom of using large amounts of clove, we instead blend real black strap rum with West Indie bay, sweet orange, cinnamon, and benzoin (a vanilla-like resin). Our Bay Rum is a warm, masculine classic, a piece of history, and a favorite for winter, but is well-suited for any time of year.


Net wt. 1 oz, Made in the USA

The performance on BM soaps is really something else

The performance on BM soaps is really something else. The slickness and lather is exceptional. The scent on Bay Rum was a bit overpowering when Ifirst unwrapped the sample, but when you lather it it's pleasantand spicy

Awesome

I dipped my toes in the water of soaps (rather than the creams I have been using) with a few samples. Bay rum is the perfect scent for the holiday season. It smells of rum, nutmeg and is very pleasant. Like all B&M soaps it lathers well and it lasts a very long time!

Bay rum

I can't speak to how this scent compares to other bay rums, but I quite enjoyed it. Excellent performance paired with abundant warm notes dominated by cinnamon make this a good fall scent in a pinch although it would be great in the winter as well.

Later up!

I like a good lather. With my biggest brush I was able to work up a lather that made my shave so smoooothe! Love it.

Shaving soap samples. I got waves, Muir Woods,and bay rhum. I liked the scents of bay rhum and waves the Muir Woods sounded cooler than it smelled but that’s just my opinion and you know what they say about opinions…. I will say beyond a doubt that the soaps do make a very thick lather with nice cushion and great feel. It’s a quality shaving soap they’ve got here. I will be coming back for more.

Christmas in a shaving soap

This is the absolute nicest bay rum scent ever. To me, it smells like the manliest Father Christmas you'd ever come across (even though I know it's not typically considered a Christmas scent). Warming, manly, citrusy, and attractive - we'll be buying more of this!

Bay Rum Sample

I like it. Has good scent and lather while shaving. Scent has a “cinnamon” oriented aroma. I like it better than Seville Sample, which I find boring. I like my Nordost Orange shaving soap best of all, Bay Rum next. All of these leave with a good shave feeling when done.

Bay rum shave soap

I had a good experience with this product. It smells amazing and works ok. I am new to using shave soaps and I have not been able to get a good lather with it. Other than that the product is great.
