Product Overview

Bay Rum is the oldest scent in wet shaving, and this is Taconic’s travel-format version of it. Taconic describes it as a traditional mild Bay Rum scent with hints of citrus and spice.

It is a 2.5 oz. stick in an applicator that twists up from the bottom, the travel format of Taconic’s shaving soap. The published ingredient list matches Taconic’s 4 oz. soap pucks; what changes is the format, with the soap rubbed straight onto the wet beard and the lather built on the face. Handmade in upstate New York.

Product Specifications

What This Stick Does

A shave stick strips the mug out of the process. The soap rubs straight onto the wet beard, the brush works over the face rather than a bowl, and the lather is built exactly where it is used, which is why sticks travel so well.

Taconic states its shaving soap creates an incredible lather and provides a smooth and slick shaving experience, that it conditions, moisturizes and protects the face from razor irritation while softening the beard, that it suits all skin types including sensitive skin, and that the stick is highly concentrated, so one lasts a long time. Those are Taconic’s descriptions of its own soap.

Who This Is Best For

How To Use It

Taconic’s own directions: wet your face and rub the soap generously over the beard, twisting the dial at the bottom of the container to dispense it. Then build the lather on your face with a wet shaving brush.

The stick dispenses like a deodorant stick, so nothing but the soap touches your hands, and there is no mug to rinse afterwards. Taconic adds that it travels easily and is TSA compliant.

Care and Storage

Let the exposed soap dry before capping the stick, and keep it somewhere it will not sit in water. There is nothing in it that needs refrigerating or special handling.
