    Question Mixing Bay Rum & Menthol

    Hi all, just looking for your thoughts on mixing the two aftershaves/splashes together. While wandering my colourful downtown core, I walked into a Carribean grocery store (I never knew existed), and came across Benjamins Bay Rum splash/lotion and Alcolado Glacial ("the air conditioner in a bottle")
    both of which I have never smelled/used before, but I have seen mentioned in the forums. On their own they smell great, but I want...need... to mix the two together to see what I come up with, I also want to mix the two, together and on their own with somthing like Nivea unscented balm.
    What do 'yall think??
    Thanks!

    I've not tried it , but there is a Benjamin's Mentholated Bay Rum available. Also, there is Caribean West Indies Bay Rum-Menthol Splash. There are probably more as well.

    When mixed, it can be used either as an effecvtive AS, or as an antifreeze for your engine in Arctic conditions....

    Thanks for the replies, The Bay Rum/Menthol combo didn't work for me... just didn't smell right... but I mixed the Alcolado Glacial with the Nivea and the Bay Rum with the Nivea and got two great lotions/splashes now, each one fantastic!

    Same here but I don't mix it. I just put it on. WH first than than the Superior 70 Bay Rum. It smells nice and doesn't linger. I also use a few drops of Nivea body lotion with vitamin E once in a while as a moisturizer when my skin feels dry. Fougera Vitamin A Vitamin D ointment if there's any razor burn.

    Don't mix the 2, layer them I use the Glacial Menthol and when it dries, then follow with the bay rum of your choice. This will give you an extra cool jump.
    This is what I use just about every day during warm weather.
