Anyone who takes the business of shaving even slightly seriously will have tried at least one Bay Rum shaving product at some point. Many get hooked. Some say it’s a matter of taste. But one thing is for sure, there is no mistaking the overtly yet subtle masculine overtones of the Bay Rum aroma, whether in cream, oil, or soap form. Let the soap soak for a few minutes beforehand in your shaving bowl with warm water while you wash your stubble or beard. It’s not completely unheard of for some soap proponents to nuke it in the microwave beforehand – but warm water should serve the same purpose. As most (but not all) shaving soaps are hard, you’ll need to consider adding the warm water to it in time for the shave . A couple of minutes should soften up the surface of the soap to give you something to work with.
At the end of trace and after mixing in any herbs or colorants, combine essential oils and add to soap mixture before pouring into mold. Continue as per directions in How To make Cold Process Soap for curing soap. I have very oily skin typically and products made for oily skin go way beyond oil reduction and leave your skin a dry husk. Dr. Squatch gets my skin clean and free of oily residue without leaving it dry and itchy. When you step out of the shower and dry off your skin feels soft and clean, you can feel air against your skin and it after a day or two of use, your skin looks a lot healthier. If you've ever used other moisturizing soaps you probably know they can leave an oily feeling film on your skin which I can't stand, other soaps for oily skin make your skin feel like it's pulling and covered in astringents as it dries and will commonly result in dry scaly skin. Dr. Squatch does neither. It leaves you feeling clean and soft and makes it feel like your skin can actually breathe. There are many variatons of this classic Caribbean scent available nowadays. Most blends start with essential oils of bay with some kind of citrus essential oils such as orange and may be lime with the more anchoring notes of cloves and allspice. This recipe is a basic bayrum with bay, orange and cloves. Further experimentation could yield other versions with allspice, pepper, tobacco, orrisroot and even vetiver essential oils to impart richness to the middle notes and extend the drydown. The top notes may be played with to give a fresher impact with bergamot, lime and mandarin essential oils.

How to use If you have greasy hair, it doesn't do anything to remove that, rather leaving it greasy and moist. Even though it was the first available shaving resource, many self-respecting shavers may still lean towards thinking that soap belongs on the ‘washing’ shelf in the bathroom rather than the ‘shaving’ one. And yep, you guessed it – the hybrid soaps may contain various quantities of each prominent ingredient, possibly along with a few others. Some brands will forgo the tallow for a vegan or cruelty-free option, replacing it with plant-derived options like stearic acid combined with and glycerine.The tallow-based soaps – which if you weren’t aware are fatty substances derived from animals, often beef — are the most traditional and common type of shaving soap. Certainly not everyone’s cup of tea but they are renowned for providing excellent razor glide, often with complex aromas. These shaving soaps tend to leave the skin feeling moisturised and nourished when you are done with the shave. Probably the most obvious difference between shaving cream and soap in terms of use is that soaps are set firm to begin with, which means (at least theoretically) that they require more water to build a lather than the more liquefied foams or creams. The scents don't really smell, unless you directly smell the bar of soap. Once you wash it off and dry your body, there will basically be no smell of the soap on you (I tried two different scents by the way, I smelled like nothing after drying myself.). If you are doing things the right way and have your natural-hair shaving brush at the ready – then simply let it soak to soften and prepare it for what’s coming.
Once the right consistency is achieved you can get to work with the razor, repeating any of the previous steps as necessary until you have reached the required degree of razor glide and smooth shaving. Keep your eye on the lather throughout the shave adding extra drops of water as and when required.Bay Rum shaving soap is traditionally sweet and spicy with notes of wood. Exotic Caribbean spices, Jamaican rum and West Indies Bay Leaf form the base for most Bay Rum scents today. It is timeless, a scent that never goes out of style. Next step is getting the top layer of the soap onto your brush before building it into a lather. Shake the pre-soaked brush to leave it merely damp, then start to move it briskly in a circular motion over the top of the shaving soap, for about 30 seconds or so. Continue until you achieve the desired consistency and load the brush. Glycerin-based soaps on the other hand tend to utilize primarily the moisturising profile of glycerine, ideally derived from vegetable oils, for the hydration and razor glide that results in a comfortable shave. First and foremost, Bay Rum Soap is known for its invigorating scent. The rich aroma of bay leaves and exotic spices transports you to a tropical paradise, immersing your senses in a delightful experience. The refreshing fragrance lingers on your skin long after you step out of the shower, leaving you feeling refreshed and revitalized throughout the day.
