I have been using Gabel's Bay Rum for many years now; there is just nothing else like it. I tried other rum oil after shaves and each case I was disappointed. They all burned like alcohol on an open wound and they all lacked that just from the barbers shop smell. I have sensitive skin, so I have tried every new product sold, so believe me when I say Gabel's Bay Rum does not clog pores, leave an oily feel or film, nor does it promote acne. Short of have a prescription shaving product, Gabel's Bay Rum after shave and Neutrogena Skin Clearing Shave Gel are the best products going.
