Gary,

I had a bit of tingling from the Classic Bay Rum, but find the Lavender tingle neutral and shave excellent.

HI BRUCE IT WAS THE LIME AND COCONUT THAT USED I HAVE ALSO GOT BAY RUM AND JASIMIN HAV'NT TRYED THEM YET IT MAKES ME WONDER WHAT IS IN THE SOAP TO CAUSE THAT TINGLING.

This has been an issue with classics soaps for a long time now. I have tried several and some are worse than others and some are fine. I would suspect there could be some essential oils in the soaps being the culprit.

To be fair the coconut and lime burned quite strong and i have not got sensative skin.Classic say i must have sensative skin no soap have ever caused me this discomfort probably a thew spots but thats all. Stick to my taylors and colonel almond that is my favourite.

As I recall the bay rum caused some minor burning and their premium soap bay rum burnt so bad I had to wash it off immediately. On the other hand the unscented was fine and the vanilla was fine also. I don't have sensitive skin either.
