I purchased Captain’s Choice Bay Rum because I like Bay Rum and the owner (Scott) told me that it was his biggest seller. Of the few bay rum scents I have tried, this is still my favorite. The Cat O’ Nine Tails aftershave has a strong, dark bay rum scent. The alcohol content on full send. Love it!

I purchased this alum when I decided to get into wet shaving. I thought I would need it, but other than a few first attempts, have found I never use it. I think that if you want an alum that you never use, but want to keep on a shelf somewhere, that alum should be Osma.
