Vegan Hand & Body Soap: Bay Rum

9.99 Sale Save

 

The Scent

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.

The Soap

Sometimes there's nothing so comforting as good old-fashioned bar soap. Tyler Durden called it "the yardstick of civilization," and it has long been in the running for the most important medical development of all time. It's safe to say that we would not have made it nearly as far as a species were it not for the invention of soap in Sumeria thousands of years ago.

While we believe in simplicity, we know that many people do not care for soap made from animal fats. Thus, we're thrilled to debut our brand new vegetable bar soap, made with responsibly-sourced, certified-origin palm oil, pomace olive oil and avocado oil, moisturizing cupuaçu butter, and goat milk powder for a nourishing, moisturizing soap ideal for any time of year, but especially for the cooler, drier months.

Ingredients

Responsibly-Sourced Palm Oil, Aqua, Coconut Oil, Olive Oil Pomace, Sodium Hydroxide*, Avocado Oil, Glycerin, Castor Oil, Cupuaçu Butter, Sodium Lactate, Fragrance, Saccharide Isomerate, Coconut Milk

As good as it gets.

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.
