Ever since RazoRock stopped producing the Captain's Choice Bay Rum shaving soap, they've had a lot of requests for a new Bay Rum version.
The problem is that RazoRock's owner is not a fan of clovey scents and can't stand a lot of cinnamon in his shaving soap or aftershave. It may sound selfish, but if he doesn't like the scent himself, he has a hard time putting the RazoRock name on it.
For several years RazoRock has been experimenting with different bay rums and in spring 2017 it finally occurred to him why they didn't produce a heavy scent, with natural laurel extract and very light spices instead.
They tested a few variants and quickly fell in love with this one. Black Bay is a bay leaf scent perfect for the guy who isn't normally a fan of American bay rums.
