Blackberry in a bay rum scented soap? I'm still trying to mentally process that. :cool:

Me personally, I totally dig bay rum aftershaves and soaps. My favorite bay rum soap, hands down, is Mike's Bay Rum, FWIW.

2019 Shave # 116 ( 169 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Charcoal Goods Level 2 SB
Blade: Merkur (1)
Brush: Paladin 26mm Honey Noir LE Beehive
Soap: Vintage Art of Shaving Tallow Sandalwood
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Bootleggers Bay Rum

Well at least I updated the day in today's post. Nice shave with a Pif'd soap from @Spider Nice soap from it's time but the scent seems to be gone for the most part even though it was protected as well as anyone could. Still original plastic wrap and in a ziplock bag. Humphrey's and Booteggers fits the Bay Rum Theme for the week. Random thoughts on it in the video that's uploading and will post it in the VLOG section. Have a great day Cadre !!

Well it is too bad about the scent...but man if it was there...I love that Sandalwood scent. Probably my favorite! And the soap is pretty darn good too!

2019 Shave # 117 ( 170 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Game Changer .84
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (6)
Brush: Sorrentino Sea Green
Soap: Turtleship Bay Rum
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum

Taking @HandleBarberDave advice and typing less since the video is uploading. Nice shave with this Turtleship Bay Rum soap acquired thru a trade at some point. GC .84 is no Pansy (See what I did there) and delivers a smooooooth efficient shave for me. Topped with Clubman VIBR for the theme week. Have a great day Cadre !!

All this talk of bay rum is making me want to look into getting another set.

Nice setup, @Dave in KY , and great picture. More inspiration for my SOTD posts!
