  Vintage Bay Rum - Yum!
Posted by: Rocketman - 03-13-2025, 08:08 PM - Forum: Aftershaves - Replies (1)

I found this bottle in a dusty old antique shop pile for $5.00. It was a bit fuller than now but not much. No idea of the age as there is no manufacturer info or anything, just Printed in U.S. labels. 

This cologne is actually really nice as it is. It is gentle and comforting and smells like a warm spiced raisin pie! The wife says its a keeper. Wonderful treat used sparingly for old fashioned shaves.

Got to visit my older brother this last week in Florida.  We haven't seen each other in almost 30 years.  Unfortunately, life happened and got in the way.  We had a great time.

  Bentonite clay solution as preshave
Posted by: kyle3rv2 - 01-23-2025, 04:37 AM - Forum: Shave Talk - Replies (1)

I've been trying bentonite clay mixed with water with 1/6 bentonite clay roughly and so far the results have been good. I've been using it with blades and or razors that I've found particularly harsh. So far not even a small drop of blood and no irritation. The razor I'm using at the moment seemed to give me some type of bumps on my cheek. They weren't ingrown hairs and were just barely raised and visible but still. The bumps came with no irritation and discomfort I just happened to notice them and was annoyed by it. The same razor also seemed to make my face more sensitive to some shaving soaps with burning before the shave even began. But that again is with no redness or irritation on shaves before them.

Anyway so far good results. I do have good technique. The razor I'm using is a bad unmentionable new design. It was my first ever razor sent to me in the mail at 18 in 2008 lol.

But yeah try bentonite clay. I've had similar results with bentonite clay soaps that's what gave me the idea.
