Went for a bay rum-ish Monday

HD with red personna
C&E BBB
HBS Bay Rum SS :thumbup1:
Thayer's Rose WH
Proraso ASB
Pinaud Clubman Talc (mostly chest and lower neck)
Pinaud Bay Rum AS - Splashed on chest
SCS B&B Bay Rum w/ a Twist EdT

That HBS bay rum soap is amazing! All of the HBS soaps lather so incredibly well (almost cushoins to the point of TOBS Avocado...though not quite THAT much cushion), really slick. Honeybee Sue's bay rum scent choice is AMAZING...very "pure" spiciness.

Once again, the pinaud bay rum splash followed by the SCS BRWAT is a great combo. Very nice!
 
Now here is a REAL MAN!

I'll have to try the soap/cream combo. I love my Castle Forbes!

The combo is great if you want bay rum without the "tingle"/discomfort of the direct essential oil. I prefer my bay rum shaves to be more on the lime side, but the MB soap alone is fabulous. The two compliment the St. John's but the sillage would be crushed by an application of Pinaud Bay Rum.

I really like MB's Maurader's Citrus, I just never thought of this combo.
