    I’m so glad I got a Varen trifecta. After I killed my 1st tub, I just knew I’d end up with more, despite me typically not being attached to scents. There’s something about Varen that makes me love it. Back in the day it was one of the very first soap samples, and I wasn’t very impressed with it. It doesn’t smell “good” or “fancy”, but it’s so unique and mellow. I ended up loving it. I’ve killed 15 tubs of soap in my 3.5 years of wetshaving, and I’ve never had the urge to replace one until Varen.

    Believe it or not, as much as I love Stirling this is the first time I’ve ever used their normal aftershave. I always heard it was a bit harsh, and it might be, but I’ve honed my skills with aftershaves like this. I apply it to a wet face, and towel it off. It’s a bonus that it makes your towel smell good.
