Haven't tried them...yet. I pointed out that one (and the TOBACCO AS) to my wife and brother-in-law upon seeing them offered last night by West Coast Shaving in the Vendor Corner forum. Maybe I'll get them as a gag gift for Christmas.
Seems like these would be best for home use only. We're not talking about Aqua di Gio, here! "No officer, that's my aftershave. Really."

That was my thought too, I can't imagine going to work smelling of whiskey being a good thing; unless I was deliberately trying to get fired.

But you'd have a good wrongful termination claim!

I'm thinking the tobacco fragrance would be nice after a Mama Bear's breakfast of Bacon, and French Toast.

That was my thought on Ogallala's Bay Rum and Sandalwood. I like the smell, but if it's going to be that boozey I may as well not even buy it.
I have used her Tabac aftershave slash on and off for a year. It is nice stuff, very soothing and refreshing. The scent great. I think it is the same as the Tobacco scent she currently sells.
I have heard they have more of a medicinal (in a good way) scent and not really alcohol. I'm interested to try them.
I tried the Whiskey After Shave Balm. It smelled like dirt and it was an oil. I used it once and it left my face very, very greasy. I had to wash the stuff off.
My sister gave me a bottle of Whiskey After Shave Splash. Smells excellent, feels great. The term "quenching" comes to mind. After one use, I am very impressed. Looking forward to future uses. Good stuff. 
I have a bottle of the Whiskey. It is more cedar and oak with a hint of smoke. It doesn't smell like whiskey to me. It smells more like an empty (used) whiskey barrel or a rickhouse (where barrels of whiskey are stored). There is a note of whiskey/bourbon, but it's very faint. It pairs well with the medicinal/dry Proraso Sandalwood. You can also sweeten it with a more traditonal sandalwood blend that has notes of cedar, amber, musk, and/or vanilla. Not the best stuff I've ever used, but it's nice and unique.
I have tried several of their products . The aftershave balm was( its been a while since I used it ,the trash saw the last of it) very very oily. Way too oily for anything . The retro theme has been mastered so is the pricing ,not sure about the know-how. My opinion.
I just got a bottle last week and I love this stuff! Great smell, although it does not smell like whiskey to me. Funny thing, I think it would be an even better splash if it did have alcohol. It just does not seem right to have a splash called Whiskey, that does not have alcohol!My sister gave me a bottle of Whiskey After Shave Splash. Smells excellent, feels great.
