Through The Fire Fine Craft "Devil's Cut"

Rubberset 200-4 | Omega Boar

Gillette Pre-war Tech | Feather Hi-Stainless (1)

 

 

Through The Fire Fine Craft offers moderate slickness and cushion, but very little post-shave. As a result, I don't use it if I had a previous poor shave resulting in skin issues going in.  Fortunately, I've been having some amazing shaves lately given the great products available.  "Devil's Cut" is a nice bourbon-forward fragrance highlighted with sandalwood and cinnamon notes.  Cinnamon is not listed as an ingredient, nor do I get the typical warm sensation with cinnamon products.  However, the note is unmistakable.  While this is supposed to be influenced by Jim Beam's Devil's Cut Whiskey, I believe it's closer to their Kentucky Fire whiskey.  I often compare the Devil's Cut splash to Derby City Chop Shop's Winter Reserve. The two are very similar in the sense that they both contain bourbon.  Devil's Cut is a bit lighter and more woodsy where Derby City has more of a bay rum profile. The Devil's Cut bourbon notes fade after an hour or two and leave a pleasant cinnamon sandalwood.
