Captain's Choice Bay Rum Shaving Soap 5oz

Product Overview

Captain's Choice Bay Rum Shaving Soap is a traditional shaving soap featuring a Caribbean-inspired fragrance of bay oil blended with citrus and spice. Scented with the same proprietary concentrate used in Captain's Choice Bay Rum Aftershave, the soap provides a matching fragrance option for wet shavers who enjoy the brand's classic Bay Rum scent.

The soap is designed to produce a thick, creamy lather while keeping the fragrance noticeable without becoming overly prominent during the shave. Each container holds five ounces of shaving soap in an oversized eight-ounce tub, providing additional room to load a shaving brush and work with the soap without lather spilling over the sides.
