“Bay Rum”
A bold and aromatic bay rum that opens with the warm spice of allspice, clove, and freshly grated nutmeg, layered with an unexpected hint of briny caper for intriguing depth. Crushed orange peel brightens the heart, while crisp pine needles add a cool, green sharpness that evokes coastal air and evergreen forests. A subtle touch of patchouli and smooth vanilla lingers at the base, grounding the composition in soft warmth and refined sweetness.

Bay rum at its finest. Incredible lasting scent and wonderful lather. I shave with a straight razor and NO irritating after burn. A must have in your stable.

Great Bay Rum Shaving Soap! Love the smell, Bowl lathers easy with our hard water here in Illinois. Plenty of slip with this soap no nicks. Face feels great even hours after the shave. This soap pairs great with the Bay Rum After Shave Splash! Get you some!

Recently, I had the chance to purchase some samples of Van Yulay Shave soaps. I chose to go with sample size so I could try out more scents and find what I like without plonking down a lot of money and possibly end up with scents that I detest and would then have to find a way to pass them along. One of the scents that I chose was Bay Rum because the second shave soap that I ever bought was a Bay Rum and it is, I thought anyway, a known quantity. Boy was I wrong!
When I opened the container, the scent felt a bit faint. However, after I scooped some out and wet it in the bowl and went to work making a lather. The complex scent became stronger. Not a punch in the nose, but more of a pleasant “Gibbs’ Slap” to the nose that woke me up. The soap lathered easily, was quite slick and had plenty of cushion as I shaved both my face and my head. Ms. Monica did a fantastic job with this scent. I look forward to shaving with the other samples that I bought.
Every artisan worth their salt has their own spin on Bay Rum, Ms. Monica knocks this one out of the park!
