Grab P&B's Imperial Rum solid cologne from Beard and Blade. it changed my mind about solid colognes.

I’ll have to give it a go. I did buy this one which I’m enjoying https://ozbarber.com/collections/duke-cannon/products/duke-cannon-bay-rum-solid-cologne

 

[Ozymandias]

Razor: Rockwell 6S (4)
Blade: Wizamet (approx 10th/11th use)
Brush: Yaqi sagrada familia
Soap: yesterday Col. Conk Bay Rum glycerin soap; today Phoenix Atomic Age Bay Rum
Post shave: yesterday Lucky Tiger Bay Rum; today Phoenix Atomic Bay Rum star jelly (mentholated)

Loved going back to my old tub of Col. Conk soap. Very first soap I used (before proraso green even). Lathered up well and great scent.

The star jelly by Phoenix is a bit overpriced for mine, but great stuff. Good menthol tingle, beautiful west indian bay scent profile and locked in moisture beautifully. Interesting splash/balm hybrid product I’ve not come across before.

Duke Cannon's anti-perspirant is really good as well.

P&B's Imperial Rum, for me, is the best Bay Rum scent out there. Unfortunately, most just smell of cloves and very little else.

Some say separate bedrooms are the secret to a happy marriage. I reckon separate bathrooms are the way to go...

Unless she enjoyed watching you shaving, and you the other way around
