Bay Rum Aftershave by

I really like this scent, but if we're being honest this is less Bay Rum than it's merely inspired by Bay Rum products. The dominate notes are everything but the Bay Rum, which is probably why so many people love it. It's also much more fragrant than a traditional Bay Rum, such as from California-Antilles Trading Co, which puts it closer to a cologne in my book. You can use a bottle of traditional Bay Rum to freshen up and cool off in the middle of a hot day with a splash here and a splash there. But this would be far too powerful and expensive to use that way.

This is the best Bay Rum I had ever owned. It is subtle, yet noticeably there. The few Bay Rum colognes I had worn ALWAYS gave me a headache at some point, but not this one! Is there a soap by this brand? If not, why not? Also, a lotion would be nice.

I love this product. It has just the right blend of spices for me. It leaves your face tight and taunt. The scent is long lasting, but not overpowering. If you ever try it, you will never want to be without it.

So first off, let me say I have only ever used a cream aftershave before using this product, so I'm not used to any sort of alcohol based aftershave. That being said I had a VERY good experience with the Captain's Choice Bay Rum Aftershave. I ended up opening the bottle after a shave and smelling the nice aroma from the bottle. I put a good amount in my hands and splashed it on my face. Immediately I felt a sharp tingle from the aftershave, that immediately went away. I also smelled an amazing aroma as the aftershave was placed closer to my nose. All in all I think this was a very good choice of aftershave for my transfer from a balm to an alcohol based aftershave, as I don't think I could go back to the balmsunless there is a Captain's Choice Balm in the near future. The smell is GREAT and it made my face feel great. I can't emphasize enough how great the smell is. The epitome of manly smells, with this scent there is no such thing as too much.

I love Captain's Choice Bay Rum after shave! It has just the right combination of ingredients to give it that authentic spicy bay rum scent without being overpowering like other after shaves I've tried. It's refreshing, masculine, and has just the right amount of that after shave "tingle" you're looking for when initially applied. It feels soothing and it smells wonderful. It's truly a great product that you can buy with confidence!

Got a sample then bought the big bottle! Product works and smells great. Really leaves skin feeling good,and the wife likes the way it smells. Keep up the good work and I wish you much success!

This is a wonderful bay rum and one of the best I've ever tried. It's very smooth and natural smelling. It exudes quality and I can easily recommend it!

I love Captain's Choice Bay Rum Aftershave. I am a huge bay rum fan, and have tried most of them. Captain's Choice excels in that it perfectly blends vanilla, cinnamon and citrus to the traditional clove and bay leaf base. The scent is multidimensional! Love it!

This is the very best bay rum I have tried to date, and I have tried many. Captain's Choice does a great job of blending layers of vanilla, citrus and cinnamon into the traditional clove and bay leaf base. Very addicting scent that lasts all day. My other bottles of bay rum aftershave are just not getting any attention!

I originally got this as a sample, which I quickly used up and was left craving more. This is a wonderful product. For me, it has a very long lasting smell that I love. I know that it differs based on person to person, but for me this smell lasts 10-12 hours without much of a problem, and at times even more. It goes on smooth, with a very slight burning sensation to let you know it is working, and that gives way to a nice cooling when you step out of the bathroom and it swiftly dries, leaving just a nice feeling and wonderful scent. Very fair price as well, a little goes a long way so 4 ounces is a pretty good amount. This is highly recommended and as soon as my friends aren't afraid of alcohol based AS, they will be getting a bottle.

Remembering the Bay Rum scent hanging in the air at the barbershop when I was a kid, I spent a good while searching for a good bay rum, but had been for the most part disappointed. I've tried several, but none of them seemed to measure up, until on the recommendation of a friend I tried Captain's Choice. Bingo! This is the Bay Rum you have been loooking for. It has that classic kick, without the overpowering clove scent that so many others have. Just enough glycerine, so it feels great on your face, and the scent is spot on perfect. The wife gives Captain's Choice an enthusiastic thumbs up also. It's the only Bay Rum that gets her approval, and she loves the way it smells on me. If you are looking for a bay rum aftershave that performs great and smells great, look no further. This is FANTASTIC STUFF!

So I had an opportunity to try this aftershave in a sample size and I wasn't really sure what to expect. When I opened it, I didn't immediately smell the alcohol but I could tell it was a strong scent that smelled a lot of cloves and spices. After one use, I was sold on it. This particular splash does indeed have grain alcohol in it and rum, but it's hard to tell from the feel. It's a light splash that has a warm and pleasant aroma. The aroma lasts for a while but is not over-powering. This is a top notch product, made in by a small company in the USA. It's also got limited ingredients, which makes this one of the more natural aftershaves on the market today. Top Notch Bay Rum Scent and Top Notch Aftershave!

This is a great product! For a quality aftershave you want a product that is going to leave your face feeling smooth and comfortable...the scent is almost an afterthought. However Captain's Choice is a high quality aftershave with an amazing scent - a perfectly spiced Bay Rum. This is a great product...highly recommended!

I got a bottle of Captains Choice about 2-3 months ago and I have not been able to use another after shave since. This is the best I have ever used and I will definately be ordering more as soon as mine runs low. I absolutely recommend getting this! The service is top noth aswell.

So I have been using this lovely aftershave for probably close to 4+ months now. It can turn a bad shave nicks, cuts, razor burn into a good one. It smells lovely. The scent doesn't stick around super long, which for me as a chef is one of the more appealing characteristics. I hope in the near future we get a soap, shampoo and shaving soap from The Captain. I will continue to buy this product and I recommend it to all of my friends. If you are in the market I suggesting adding this to your bag and not looking back : .

Awesome Bay Rum! Very nice scent with good staying power for an aftershave after all, it's not a cologne, and a moderate amount of burn if your shave was less than perfect. I will continue to keep it in my collection.

For the shaver that desires a quality Bay Rum Aftershave - consider Captain's Choice. Captain's Choice has a great scent that is not over-powering. The scent is that of spice and a bit of citrus. The aftershave provides very nice conditioning to the face and leaves the skin feeling great. My reason for the 4 stars and not 5 is my own personal preferences: 1. I like a bit more "burn". There is an initial warmth that you get when you apply the aftershave that dissipates nicely. However I personally really like the feeling a more intense burn. 2. The scent is wonderful - I just wish it lasted a bit longer. Overall a quality product that I will keep in my shave den.

I purchased Captain's Choice Bay Rum after posting a question on a very popular wet shaving website. The question was simply who had the best Bay Rum aftershave? The responses that I received were overwhelmingly supportive of one Bay Rum, The Captain's Choice Bay Rum. After purchasing a bottle I was not disappointed, the scent is absolutely fantastic.Normally after shaves made with alcohol can be very drying to ones face, not Captain's Choice, the Captain has added Witch hazel and Glycerin to help prevent the drying effects of the alcohol. Another important test of an aftershave is the wife test and my wife loves the scent this of this AS! Bob

Captain's Choice is the best bay rum AS I have ever used. I find it moisturizing and it conveys a gentle warmth for hours after the shave. In addition, it has nice staying power, allowing you to enjoy its wonderful, authentic scent for hours. Highly recommended. It is by far my favorite AS.

I love this stuff! It has a lingering, spicy smell that you catch a whiff of all day long, but it isn't overpowering. It quickly became my favorite scent, as well as my wife's. It has a soothing, tightening effect on your skin, it feels great after a shave.

I don't know what the magic element is in this blend that sets it so far apart from the competition, but this is my favorite bay rum. It smells terrific, and to my nose a little more herbal/earthy than other brands. It has just the right amount of burn, and it quickly dissipates leaving a soothing, healing sensation.
