Hand & Body Soap: Bay Rum
Way back in the glory days of salty sea dogs, sailors used rum tinctures of West Indie bay and spices as disinfectants, fragrances, deodorants, and aftershaves. Over time, many famous fragrance and shaving houses adopted the custom and offered their own versions of the classic scent, which proved to be extremely popular with barbers as well.
Barrister and Mann® is proud to offer our own version of a classic Bay Rum. Dispensing with the modern custom of using large amounts of clove, we instead blend real black strap rum with West Indie bay, sweet orange, cinnamon, and benzoin (a vanilla-like resin). Our Bay Rum is a warm, masculine classic, a piece of history, and a favorite for winter, but is well-suited for any time of year.

QUICK NOTE:
This Bay Rum bar soap receives mostly positive feedback. Customers praised its "authentic and long lasting" scent with spicy, citrus, and vanilla notes, plus luxurious lather. Many called it "the best bay rum in the market." However, some found it overpriced or single-note cinnamon. The firm bars are large and don't melt quickly, though they're hydrating for skin.
Great scent🔥💫🐢😅🙏💚
This one came across as a single-note cinnamon scent to me. I was expecting a more complex and interesting scent. A miss for me.
I really love this scent! I have the shave soap, the aftershave balm, and now the bar soap. It’s such a pleasant warming smell: spicy, citrus, vanilla notes. I get very dry skin in the winter, so a hydrating soap perfect for the winter.
Got everything i ordered. I have only tried one of the soaps and it is excellent. Large size and great scent. (SPICE)
Bad
Unbelievable feel of cleanliness and the scent is fantastic!
Overpriced for what you’re getting. It’s advertised as bay rum fragrance but to me the soap simply smells like dust, On the plus side, the bars are firm with a hard edge, which I prefer because I use soap in the shower to massage tight muscles.
This is a very fine bay room which can hold water against the finest in the market
I've been on a deep dive into Bay Rum soaps and Barrister & Mann's is the best. The scent is authentic and long lasting, the soap is luxurious and frothy. It takes a minute or two to go from its unused state, which is very hard, to its regular state which is soft and, obviously, soapy. At first I wondered if something was wrong, but as soon as it had absorbed enough moisture it quickly eclipsed all my previous soaps.
I haven't looked into B&M's ingredients but they sure smell authentic and natural. Also, this seems like it's just one guy, Will, who actually answers emails. Maybe that shouldn't factor into a review of the product, but I was impressed.
Great soap. Great business.
Just the right amount of scent, not overwhelming
Really enjoying this scent, definitely a different take on Bay Rum but stands apart for that reason. Will have to try out the shave soap and aftershave now too
This soap is excellent! Good for skin and smells great!
Bay Rum was always difficult for me but this one i really enjoy. Great bar soap as always.
Autumn time is usually BayRum time for me and this one is one of the best in thr market. Having it as a bar soap makes my morning shower/shave routine a pleasure.
I heard about this product through TDD podcast and I especially enjoyed the bay rum soap. I ordered some additional products for my dad's birthday as well.
Easily the best bay rum scent in a soap I've ever experienced. Top notch as always
One of my favorite bay rum scents. Not overly clove forward as others I have used. Perfect summer soap for me.
I use this specifically for my body & it's great. Smells awesome & It doesn't dehydrate my skin after. My favorite scent is from Wet Shaving Products Blackbeard, but they don't offer it in a soap. This is right next to it in terms of my alternative go to now! I wonder what this would smell like with a touch of peppermint or touch of menthol to it. Not too much though!
I've been using Barrister and Mann shave soaps for awhile and bought some bar soaps after trying Dr Squatch. The price is great for a hand crafted product and it doesn't seem to melt away in the shower like the other soap I tried. The scent is great and goes well with the Bay Rum Shave soap! I'll be purchasing more for sure!
I've always been a body wash guy but this soap has converted me. Another A+ product!
This soap met all of my expectations. When I first started shaving the Barrister and Mann Bay Rum shaving soap was what I used. I have a beard now but I wanted that experience and now I can use it in the shower and it’s perfect. The best bay rum scent in the market and the old world ingredients make an amazingly clean and refreshing soap.
Works great as a body wash. First time I've ever used bar soap for this, other than when hotels provide. I may be officially converted! Plus my fiance approves, which is all that really matters.
Beautiful soap. Works really really well. Love the fragrance. I’m sure I’ll buy more.
Love this bay rum scent, and the soap is super luxurious!
