Pinaud Virgin Island After Shave Lotion, Aftershave for Men, 12 oz

I like Bay Rum-scented after shaves as a general rule but this one is my all-time favorite. It's scent is more subtle, better than more expensive brands and works great on my skin. The scent is nice, not too strong, and refreshing. A great value and nice addition to your grooming routine that makes you feel put-together.

This has to be one of the finest bay rums out there for an aftershave. I only wish the scent lingered a bit longer, because the fragrance itself is spot‑on — the perfect balance of spice, warmth, and freshness. It leaves your face feeling clean, invigorated, and downright exhilarated.

In the barber shop where I grew up, after trimming the sideburns and cleaning up the back of the neck with a straight razor, my barber would always use an after have lotion to cut down on irritation. I remember loving the smell of it and how it went on and soothed without too much of any burning. I never knew what that stuff was and I never thought to ask (hey I was a dumb kid back in those days what do you want from me). After reading lots of reviews on Amazon saying that this stuff is what their barber uses, I picked some up. At first I was concerned it was going to be a flop. At first application it had a really spicy scent which smelled mainly like cloves. After a few minutes of soaking in though, it smelled exactly like the stuff I remember! I am happy to have found it once again. After all, I don't have much hair these days so I don't get to go to the barber unless my son is getting his hair cut. It has a manly scent that is a bit strong at first, but then mellows out and is perfect. Not too strong but very present and it works well with my col. conk Bay Rum Shaving soap. I like it a lot and can't imagine it being disliked by many. If you have never smelled bay rum before, think somewhere along the lines of Old Spice only not so brutally intense or strong and a little more sweet. Considering its 12 ounces for less than 20 bucks its a great deal. Should last me a while since its not my main after shave (I'll just use it time to time for nostalgia I suppose). For the price it's not much of a risk to purchase and if you don't like it you certainly will find someone who will gladly take it off your hands. The only reason I am not rating it a full 5 stars is because it comes in a cheap plastic bottle. The plastic is very thin and flimsy and makes it difficult to pour out just the right amount without accidentally getting too much or too little. Makes the overall presentation feel a bit cheap, but then at a little more than a dollar an ounce I guess it is kinda cheap...in a good way.

4 Month Review -After switching from Mach III razors Below is the listed product I am using as part of my "Shaving Arsenal." It took me a while to find each piece needed to bring it all together. My approach was finding all the pieces that had the best reviews vs. price. Just about everything listed below was the "highest price" but luckily these items don't cost much. Not CLOSE to as much as it costs to shave with Mach III Safety razors. If your ready to make the switch to a superior, and cheaper, alternative then check out the products below. After Shave: Virgin Island Bay Rum by Clubman I've tested several types of Aftershave in stores but never found anything I liked. Based on reviews I had a hunch I would really like this. Once it arrived I was right! It gives me a very fresh feeling after my morning shave, and has an amazing smell which isn't overpowering at all. My wife is very sensitive to smells but this is one she actually admires. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000053L6W/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_2 Handle: Merkur Model 180 Long Handled Safety Razor. The first thing I noticed about this handle is the quality. You can tell its not your basic cheap piece of metal. Its got a comfortable weight to it, keeps its brilliant chrome finish, and clean up is quick and easy. I consider myself a man with normal size hands and don't know why this one is considered "long handled." Its just a tad longer than the Mach III razor I used to use. However, it’s a night and day difference compared to those "Safety razors." It cuts very close with minimal passes. I've never had a shave that was this close before. http://www.amazon.com/Merkur-Model-180-Handled-Safety/dp/B000NL0T1G/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1355613524&sr=8-10&keywords=double+edge+razor+handle Blades: 7a.m. Platinum Double Edge Safety Razor Blades I've heard there are better blades on the Market but since I started out with a 100-pack it will be 2-YEARS until I need to buy any more since I change them out once a week. I'm half Filipino so I don't have the thickest facial hair but definably pull off a goatee without a problem. Other than one "Dud" all other blades have been very predictable and easy to use. I have gotten the occasional razor burn but that appears to be normal with any Double-edged razor. I was worried I would be opening myself up to more "risk" with these but feel that I am at no more risk than any other safety blade now that I am used to it. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0017ZECA6/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_32 Stand: Safety Razor stand Once I learned that a stand was needed for the "Tweezerman Men's Shaving Brush" I decided to go with this one. Its been 4 months and the chrome is still shining well. Its sturdy, and holds my double edged razor as well as the shaving brush as if this product was made just for them. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001XURHNY/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_42 Brush: Not sure why its made of "Badger" hair but its working. Where this brush looses a star is because it lost some of its bristles during the first week. Since then there haven't been any more hair-loss and I've had no problems. 4 months going strong. It creates a nice lather and feels good against the skin. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000G647Y8/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_47 Shaving Soap: Prosaro Shaving Soap It works but I with it had more lather. Based on previous reviews, it sounds like the amount of lather has significantly decreased. Does it work? Yes, but I like a good lather. Anyways, its been 3 months and I feel like I have maybe gone through half of this container which isn't bad. It also has a very fresh but subtle smell which I really like. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00837YY18/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_44?ie=UTF8&redirect=true Soap Bowl: Guess I didn't need this since I am using the Proraso Shaving Soap which is self contained. For as simple as it is, it lost two stars. There is a rim that goes along the bottom that has (or had) a black rubber piece that ran around it to provide a good footing for the Bowl while on a counter. The very first day this part fell off, it didn’t seat on there, and it wasn't glued. In the garbage that piece went. The next star was lost due to finish. It was a pretty flat finish for chrome and you could see the several light scratches across it. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00404RI70/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_35

I have used Pinaud Clubman for some 40 years. Recently I decided to get wild and try something else. The bay rum is not a bad product. It has a very pleasant smell and little burn but .. the smell seemingly is gone in seconds and isn't very strong when first applied. If you are looking for very subtle .. then this may be for you. I was hoping for a stronger longer lasting scent and will try another Bay Rum when this runs out.

The scent for some reason reminds me of what a Pirate getting a good shave at a Traditional Barber shop would be like. The scent is Amazing, feels fantastic, and That Kick when you first put it on is like no other. It's also very effective at soothing and cooling the skin after too. I really like this aftershave, and recommend giving it a try.

This is the old school bay rum. The bottle is the perfect size, the scent lasts, and there was no leakage in the packaging.

Great after shave lotion. I have been using this Bay Rum for years. It is not overpowering.

Lives up to its legendary reputation. Repeat purchase for me.

Volevo un dopobarba per mio marito che avesse un profumo deciso e avvolgente.Mi sono fatta invogliare dalla recensione positiva di un utente che ne faceva una descrizione convincente.Effettivamente è un profumo buono e intenso come desideravo.La bottiglia è in plastica, ma , a mio giudizio questo non è un limite, anzi la rende più leggera e maneggevole.Il prezzo contenuto fa il reso per un giudizio positivo.Spedizione rapida e accurata come al solito

Wer Bay Rum liebt ist hier gut bedient. Genug Alkohol um wirklich zu wirken. Selbst ich mit empfindlicher Haut hatte immer rasurbrand, egal was für Nassrasierer. Nach der Rasur mit Hobel nehme Alaunstein, nach Einwirkzeit abwaschen, Clubmann Bay Rum drauf und es bleibt nahezu sauber ohne Pfückchen. Konnte bisher kein sensitiv Balsam. Duft ist auch super, habe ich auch gelegentlich als Eau de Toilette benutzt.

Ich liebe den Duft. Meine Frau auch, an mir. Meine Haut fühlt sich weicher und geschmeidiger an wenn ich es nach der Rasur Auftrage. Außerdem sehr schnelle Lieferung und gut verpackt, gerne immer wieder.

Like the smell and it’s refreshing. However, its base notes resemble old spice mostly. If I were to make a purchase for a fragrance like this, based on price, I would choose old spice instead.
