Bay Rum

Can anyone recommend a decent bay rum soap please?

Interest in the scent got sparked by a free sample of Shaving Shack cream that I just dicovered has basically a bay rum scent to it. It smells great but Dan says there are no more samples left and as it was produced as a 'prototype' it may never be available to purchase.

Anyway, as I generally prefer soaps thought I'd try them first. Any ideas?
 
Just found this but I don't expect anyone's tried it:

if I had to live with just a cream from now until doomsday, it would be a Frasers.

which one's have you tried HM and what's your verdict?

I've tried the "plain" and "polar ice" - both great - I don't think the Polar Ice is that cooling like, but both work very well from a very small amount of input (and the regular is a 1lb tub so lasts an eternity)
 
Emily Witherspoon at <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.emsplace.com">www.emsplace.com</a><!-- w --> has an excellent glycerin based bay rum & ASB. I have tried some of her soap scents & they are all good. Her ASB's are very good.

I am not sure how the post would affect prices to blighty.
 
Just read Ian's review. Didn't make me want to rush and order some. Today Paul kindly sent me a sample of Connaught Bay Rum cream which I've had a quick lather of, but no shave as not enough growth yet. It isn't as strongly scented as my sample, but very pleasant and quite probably nearer to a traditional Bay Rum scent. I'll give it a go this week. Need to start getting in to writing reviews...
