the process is easy as it's just "Time" that does the magic, but it's getting a good recipe and the right quantities to make a good smell, that's the trick.

Yeah, Steve is my favorite bootlegger. The guy runs a still or something waaay up in the mountains somewhere.
Right up there with the best bay rum AS products I've tried. He adds a bunch of other notes to the bay rum EO base, and it turns out real nice. A low alcohol aftershave that doesn't linger.

Oh, I've also heard of a few members using it heated up and flamed over crepes and ice cream.

I think he has been tied up a bit of late, but he's a top bloke and i am sure he will get in touch with you as soon as he can. In the meantime though, pm me your address and i will send you a sample of his barbershop bay rum, it is truelly wonderful stuff and i am pretty sure you will be dissapointed when the sample is finished.

That's good of you, Daz. Yeah hopefully Steve will soon be back to weekly posts of all the mint Aristocrats and Parker pens he bought at a boot sale for 5p
