Bourbon Country Shave Journal - Dave in KY

Bay Rum is an interesting thing for me. For some reason, I didn't think that I liked the bay rum scent when I first started wet shaving. But I really had no idea what it smelled like. I think I just thought of it as a "traditional" scent and I wasn't into the stuff the old men smelled like. I finally tried one and liked it. But still after owning one or two I found myself just by-passing them every time I was choosing a soap. That stigma of old traditional stuff is just ingrained in me.
 
Hey there buddy that soap was a PIF from me and I am glad to see you actually using it. Nice photo you artistic son of a gun.
That's right!! You threw it in with the C&C Cigars. I was thinking it was what I traded those for when I had a reaction with it. Thanks Glenn, I'm keeping it for sure now.

Soap: WSP Blackbeard
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Anthony's Bay Rum

Well my full on Pirate shave video is uploading and will be posted in the VLOG section. Went with the WSP Blackbeard pif'd to me by @SteveChuckFrank NICE scent and a good lather considering the shave conditions today (you'll need to watch the video to understand) The Roller Guard definitely tames the aggression for me. Got a call from a member of our Congregation that needs a ride to Lexington for an eye appointment so my day off is now planned out. 2 hour drive 1 way. I'll be on and off the site throughout as I have a chance. Have a Stellar day and Shaves Cadre !!!! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
