About this deal

My favorite west coast supplier of 350 different essential oils is Liberty Natural located in Oregon City, Oregon - great customer service and a really nice crew that will patiently answer all your questions. It doesn't dry your skin out like other soaps may and it removes nasty greases off you skin you may gain during a regular day at work. First and foremost, Bay Rum Soap is known for its invigorating scent. The rich aroma of bay leaves and exotic spices transports you to a tropical paradise, immersing your senses in a delightful experience. The refreshing fragrance lingers on your skin long after you step out of the shower, leaving you feeling refreshed and revitalized throughout the day. Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Atomic Age Bay Rum Shaving Soap is masculine, timeless, sophisticated without being pretentious - itcould be the last Bay Rum you ever buy! With the mission to create the best Bay Rum, Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements certainly set the standard high. What is different about this bay rum? The twist? No clove! Some people react to clove on freshly shaven skin so for that reason Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements decided there was no reason to have clove in this shaving soap.

As with all shaving products worth their salt, your skin is on to a winner if you can find a shaving soap with all the traits of a carefully-crafted product made with natural ingredients, and of course as free as possible of anything synthetic or potentially harmful. That said, it shouldn’t come at the expense of excellent razor glide and closeness. Phoenix and Beau Imperial Rum Shaving Soap has a rich and layered profile. Opening with a citrus hit of sweet orange and lime before moving to warm and spicy West Indian Bay. Hints of vanilla, allspice, cinammon, pepper merge with sweet Ylang Ylang - warming, relaxing and grounding! Transfer to the face or bowl, and adjust the consistency by adding more water to your face or your bowl and continuing with the swirling motion. Although most soaps come in a container that allows plenty of room for lathering and mixing, it’s better to mix in your own bowl for both the end result and the condition of the soap/container. One of the key ingredients in Bay Rum Soap is bay leaf oil. Bay leaves have been used for centuries for their aromatic properties and are known for their soothing and calming effects on the skin. The oil extracted from bay leaves is rich in antioxidants, which help to protect your skin from environmental damage and premature aging. Glycerin-based soaps on the other hand tend to utilize primarily the moisturising profile of glycerine, ideally derived from vegetable oils, for the hydration and razor glide that results in a comfortable shave.

Genuine Ogallala Bay Rum products have a bold, fresh fragrance, with some unique ingredient combinations, like you remember from years ago in the barber shop! A stronger than usual Bay Rum with distinctive tones. A traditional 'old-time' product, which is as good a performer as it was years ago. Ogallala Shaving Soaps do notcontain artificial colourings. Made in USA

Once the right consistency is achieved you can get to work with the razor, repeating any of the previous steps as necessary until you have reached the required degree of razor glide and smooth shaving. Keep your eye on the lather throughout the shave adding extra drops of water as and when required. I have very oily skin typically and products made for oily skin go way beyond oil reduction and leave your skin a dry husk. Dr. Squatch gets my skin clean and free of oily residue without leaving it dry and itchy. When you step out of the shower and dry off your skin feels soft and clean, you can feel air against your skin and it after a day or two of use, your skin looks a lot healthier. If you've ever used other moisturizing soaps you probably know they can leave an oily feeling film on your skin which I can't stand, other soaps for oily skin make your skin feel like it's pulling and covered in astringents as it dries and will commonly result in dry scaly skin. Dr. Squatch does neither. It leaves you feeling clean and soft and makes it feel like your skin can actually breathe. John Maisch identified the leaf in the herbarium at the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences, collected in Saint Croix, "by the late Dr. Griffith", which was identified as Myrcia acris, now transferred to the genus Pimenta. Maisch added that it was "very probable that various species are made use of for the same purpose." According to an 1889 reference, other ingredients may be citrus and spice oils, the most common being lime oil and oil of cloves. A drop of oil of cloves is added to two parts bay oil and one part pimento oil in one of two recipes for bay rum; [3] the aromatics are steeped in alcohol and as a last step an equal part of "good rum" is added, and cinnamon. In addition to bay leaf oil, our Bay Rum Soap also contains exotic spices such as cinnamon, cloves, and allspice. These spices not only add to the soap's irresistible scent but also have antimicrobial properties that help to cleanse and purify your skin. Artisan made in the USA and guaranteed to impress, Zingari Man The Nomad Shaving Soap is one for those who reject convention! Zingari have taken the deep and spicy bay rum scent that is adored by many, adding a pop of citrus to lighten the scent.Even though it was the first available shaving resource, many self-respecting shavers may still lean towards thinking that soap belongs on the ‘washing’ shelf in the bathroom rather than the ‘shaving’ one. Handmade in small batches in the UK, Phoenix and Beau tallow shaving soap produces a rich and voluminous lather that is a joy to use. The tallow-based soaps – which if you weren’t aware are fatty substances derived from animals, often beef — are the most traditional and common type of shaving soap. Certainly not everyone’s cup of tea but they are renowned for providing excellent razor glide, often with complex aromas. These shaving soaps tend to leave the skin feeling moisturised and nourished when you are done with the shave. Probably the most obvious difference between shaving cream and soap in terms of use is that soaps are set firm to begin with, which means (at least theoretically) that they require more water to build a lather than the more liquefied foams or creams. Let’s not overlook the fact that soaps also happen to be long lasting, easy to use, and let’s face it—for the most part cheaper than creams, foams, and oils.

If you have greasy hair, it doesn't do anything to remove that, rather leaving it greasy and moist. Bay Rum Soap is carefully crafted using a blend of high-quality ingredients that offer a range of properties beneficial for your skin. At LilyMichael.co.uk, we believe in the power of nature and strive to bring you the best that it has to offer. And if you are not new to this game you will know that shaving soaps are still held in high esteem by any die-hard old-schooler who gravitates towards the traditional aspects of wet shaving. We all know that sailors love a tipple, with rum being a firm favourite! They soon discovered that if they soaked the Bay leaves in rum, the result extracted the oils more efficiently and added a new aroma - thus the Bay Rum scent was born! What is a Bay Rum scent?And yep, you guessed it – the hybrid soaps may contain various quantities of each prominent ingredient, possibly along with a few others. Some brands will forgo the tallow for a vegan or cruelty-free option, replacing it with plant-derived options like stearic acid combined with and glycerine. First off, this soap IS better than most generic soap you can find at your local stores. It's clean, refreshing, and it smells good (More on this further on.). After using two whole bars of this soap and of different scents however, I can see it's flaws. So let me just take you to my list. It is a distillate that was originally made in Saint Thomas "and probably other West Indian islands" [2] from rum and the leaves and/or berries of the West Indian bay tree, Pimenta racemosa. At the end of trace and after mixing in any herbs or colorants, combine essential oils and add to soap mixture before pouring into mold. Continue as per directions in How To make Cold Process Soap for curing soap. In their mission to create the best bay rum shaving soap on the planet, Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements have a twist in that there is no clove included. In short Atomic Age Bay Rum is the fruit of 5 years of development, deep, complex and smooth - you may never want another Bay Rum shaving soap!

Warm and spicy, Fine Bay Rum shaving soap has authentic Dominican Bay Leaf extract that provides a richness with subtle and sweet balsamic notes. Strong clove with a touch of citrus freshness - Fine have really developed a formula that epitomises Bay Rum!The scents don't really smell, unless you directly smell the bar of soap. Once you wash it off and dry your body, there will basically be no smell of the soap on you (I tried two different scents by the way, I smelled like nothing after drying myself.).
