Let the warm Caribbean breeze transport you with every shave. Our Magens Bay Shaving Soap is a sensory journey to the heart of the island of St. Thomas, where the legendary Bay Rum fragrance was born. It captures the timeless allure of this classic aroma and the legendary beauty of St. Thomas's turquoise waters.

The experience opens with a bright splash of sun-drenched Sweet Orange and zesty Lime, like golden sunlight sparkling on the bay. This citrus brilliance is given a touch of invigorating warmth by a spark of Black Pepper.

As the initial brightness settles, the fragrance unfolds into its iconic heart. The warm, spicy embrace of authentic West Indian Bay Leaves emerges, the true soul of this classic aroma. This is masterfully enriched by aromatic Clove and warming Cinnamon, creating a perfect, time-honoured Bay Rum accord.

Finally, the fragrance settles into a smooth and comforting base. The creamy, warm woodiness of Amyris (West Indian Sandalwood) provides a soft, grounding foundation. This is seamlessly blended with the mellow sweetness of Sweet Rum, evoking relaxed island evenings and sophisticated warmth.

Beyond its captivating fragrance, our Magens Bay Shaving Soap is meticulously crafted with a selection of ingredients known for their profound skin-conditioning properties. This is a tallow-based formula, providing a remarkably rich and dense lather for an exceptional shave. Tallow itself is highly valued for being naturally rich in Vitamins A, D, E, and K, which contribute to healthy-looking skin. 

We've enhanced this with a luxurious blend of butters and oils like Shea Butter, Kokum Butter, Jojoba Oil, and Avocado Oil. The latter, in particular, is celebrated for its wealth of Vitamins A, D, and E, along with its emollient qualities that contribute to a smooth glide and a profoundly nourished feel afterward.

Glycerin and Sorbitol are included to help attract and retain moisture, promoting a comfortable shave. To further enhance the post-shave experience, we've added Allantoin and Silk Amino Acids, ingredients often found in premium skincare for their soothing and softening attributes.

Experience the endless summer with our 150 g / 5.3 oz jar, providing a prolonged tropical getaway, or get a delightful preview with our 25 g / 0.88 oz sample size, ideal for 10-20 refreshing shaves. Each comes nestled in our violet glass jar for optimal preservation.

What people are saying

I am not usually a fan of Bay Rum scents but this one is one I’ve never smelled before. Magens Bay opens with a bright and sweet citrus touched by spice before the West Indies bay leaves step forward alongside clove softened by a touch of cinnamon. It settles into a warm base of sandalwood and sweet rum. The clove is usually what stands out and makes me dislike bay rums but the cinnamon I think was the game changer by sweetening the clove. Without question this is the best Bay Rum I have experienced.

Directions for Use

For an exceptionally smooth and comfortable shave, follow these simple steps:

  1. Prepare Your Face: Warm your skin by taking a hot shower or using a hot towel. Preparation is half the journey!
  2. Prepare Your Brush: Briefly soak your shaving brush in warm water. This helps the bristles soften and retain lather.
  3. Load the Soap: Swirl the wet brush firmly over the surface of the shaving soap in its tub or bowl. Continue until a rich, thick lather begins to form on the brush tips.
  4. Build Your Lather: Apply the loaded brush directly to your wet face, using circular motions. This helps lift and soften your beard, while also building a luxurious, protective lather directly on your skin. Aim for a creamy, dense consistency.
  5. Shave: With your face fully lathered, proceed with your preferred razor. Shave with the grain first, then re-lather and shave across or against the grain for a closer result, if desired.
  6. Rinse & Finish: After shaving, rinse your face thoroughly with cool water to close pores. Pat dry and follow with your favourite aftershave balm or splash for optimal skin comfort.
