Bay Rum Product

Hey Guys,

Getting bald, i've been living with 1mm of hair on my head for years now ! 6 month ago, i started a new job and made an effort to actually get an haircut.

Went to Johnny's barbershop in Limerick - they did a great job of it, and have been going over there ever since.

Seeing all the proraso product over there got me to research a bit, and went from gilette cartridge and can which i have been using all my life to DE + soap and brush ... and have been delighted with it.

Growing a beard at the moment so not shaving as much.

Anyway, the reason of the post : at the barbershop they use a particular water to spray you with at the end of the cut ... which I found amazing.
I've asked about it - and it is Bay Rum.
I've got the Layrite Bay Rum after shave - which is really nice - but it doesn't seem to be the actual one they use over there ... does anyone knows what bay-rum product barbers use in water sprays ? I assume it is diluted ...

Gonna be looking for some bay rum beard product now!

Thanks!

I would guess Jack Dean Bay Rum might be it. Can be used as an aftershave or a hair lotion.

A look through their Facebook gallery gives this

See that little bottle on the right of the middle shelf? I think that is the old bottle that Jack Dean used to come in.

Although bit of searching on google indicate it might actually be Vines Vintage American Bay Rum

In conclusion, I don't know. Probably one of the two I've mentioned.

Looking at the two pictures, I'm certain the little bottle on the shelf is th Vines bay rum.

Can anyone recommend a good bay rum aftershave? Have been planning on getting one but hear they're quite varied so do want to gamble on it
