Customers praise this shave soap for its "thick, creamy lather" and "great slick" performance. The Bay Rum scent is "authentic" with clove, cinnamon, and citrus notes, though some found it clove-heavy. Most describe it as "wonderful" and "amazing," while a few preferred lighter scents. Lathers easily and provides comfortable shaves with excellent value.

My favorite so far. Smells good and really lathers well.
The soap smells great and I’ve been getting great shaves with it too. I consistently get 5 star shaves using this. I will definitely be buying a full size tub. This does not smell as clove heavy as the aftershave.
Creates a great lather, wonderful smell. Only downside is that it leaves the shower floor slippery. Fair trade off in my book
Ive tried to like this but keep kicking the can down the road on actually using it because every time I open it to smell it it's so clove-dominant that rarely do I have an occasion to smell like that. It's one of the very few scents from Stirling that simply doesn't work for me and I will end up gifting.
This is the first authentic bay rum shave soap I have used. I tried the bay rum from lather and wood,but their bay rum was really off target and smelled more like licorice.
Wonderful Bay Rum fragrance in an absolutely unbeatable shave soap. Easily whips up into a beautiful rich lather that provides great glide. This has quickly become my go to soap. Try it, you are definitely going to like it!
Spicy scent ..awesome
Its a decent version of bay rum.
I bought this about a month ago. Slick, easy to load a brush and more of a traditional fragrance. I like it.
Great products. The Bay Rum scent is awesome.
The smell is so much better than most Bay Rum scented products. Richer, deeper. Really nice. The lather is fantastic too!
There is just something about this scent that is relaxing and soothing. It's great when you start your day, as it puts you in a calm state of mind and equally great after a long day to help you unwind.
Once you activate it with your shave brush,
(btw, I've used many shave brushes and the ones from Stirling seem to work the best)
and the scent releases, it's very therapeutic. the product itself is nice and slick and provides a very comfortable shave. It has just the right amount of slickness and cushioning. I've tried other brands and keep coming back to Stirling, keep up the great work!
I have been shaving with soap and brush since my grandpa showed me in my 20s, recently decided to try a different brand of soap and found stirling wow, smooth lather, subtle bay rum scent just enough, if i could rate it higher i would, definetly will be coming back for more in a couple months when this one puck runs out
I have never tried anythign "Bay Rum" before. But at the suggestion of Chey, I tried this. It is spicy, strong, but not overpowering, not sweet...very much like essential oil. Of course the performance is great. But I also wanted a scent that would not dissappear so quickly. This is easily one of my top two. Fantastic!
What I like about Stirling Soap are the scents are all subtle, and doesn’t smack you in the face like some shaving soap companies. They have such a wide variety of scents as well.
Makes a great lather and easy to whip up and the sent is fantastic! Really enjoy this soap.
The clove was overpowering and I couldn't even use it. Immediately threw it in the garbage and had to put the garbage bag out because it smelled up the kitchen.
My “go to” scent. Perfect strength. Of course Stirling soaps are the best available and affordable.
The fine folks at Stirling included a sample of Bay Rum soap in one of my orders. My wife and I both fell for the scent. I ordered bath soap, shaving soap, splash and post shave balm and have absolutely enjoyed everything in this line. I just used the whole line up before going out to lunch today. Maaahvalous.
I enjoy the scent and the rich lather. This will be my go to shave soap from now on.
Stirling shave soap has the best lather I’ve seen- thick, slick and creamy. The bay rum scent is killer and adds even more enjoyment to my morning routine!
Didn't really lather well.
I have been using shave soap for over 50 years. This is my first time using Stirling, this was a sample. This is definitely the best shave soap I have ever used, am anxious to try more.
Once again -- Stirling Soap Company is on point with this scent - they NAILED IT! This is a wondrously delicious take on a classic/timeless scent. It's aromatic, simple, and fine-tuned to be sure! If you like Bay Rum -- you will love this! Thanks again Stirling!
Very nice.
My first order from Stirling included this Bay Rum sahve soap. WOW!!!! Wonderful shave, and wonderful smell! Now, every time I shave, if my wife isn't already in the room, I will find her and say, "How do you like me NOW??!!??!!"
Good golly that’s a good Bay Rum!!
When I think bay rum this is the scent! Very traditional!! Classic! Must have!
My girlfriend got me this as a gift since i couldn’t pick a scent myself. Super happy with this soap. The scent is very accurate to how its described. Similar to a chai latte almost. It lathers up extremely nicely and leaves my skin feeling smooth and clean. First soap from stirling and will definitely be purchasing more in the future!
I received my very first order from Stirling today. One of the items is this Bay Rum shaving soap. This evening I am visiting some friends, so I had to clean up. I shaved with this....... WOW!!! Does this smell good!! And, it provided a wonderful shave! SO glad I ordered, and will be a faithful customer! Bye, bye, Harry's!!!
(Wife is having to spend a couple of days at her parent's..... kind of glad she is.... she wouldn't stand a CHANCE!!! How do you like me NOW??!?!?!)
Excellent product. The scent is wonderful. My husband loves it
This is the first shave soap I bought from Stirling. The clove/citrus scent is timeless and great. Lather gives a comfortable shave. Big size last at least 6 months. I am a long-time customer of Stirling because their products are great.
I have used all sterling products for years. Their shaving soaps are top notch. Slick, cushiony and easy to build a great lather. I have used many scents but my two favorites are Bay Rum and Best Dressed Man. I will continue to buy their products in the future.
