Barrister and Mann Bay Rum shaving soap takes you 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.
Dispensing with the modern custom of using large amounts of clove, we instead blend real blackstrap rum with West Indie bay, sweet orange, cinnamon, and benzoin (a vanilla-like resin). 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.
Directions
Wet your shaving brush well, then swirl it around the jar for roughly thirty seconds or until a rich, creamy lather is formed. Continue building the lather by adding water (lots and lots of it) and swirling your brush either on your face or in a lathering bowl. Shave, rinse, and spend your day feeling great.

This soap is very slick and works well. I’m highly impressed. I’m enjoying this soap and happy to receive it. I will definitely keep this in the rotation!
This is easily the best smelling and best overall soap made my Barrister & Mann. It needs to become a regular in the B&M line of shave soaps, not just a limited edition. I want to be able to buy it anytime. Because I will.
Smooth, close shave with a great fragrance
