Post Shave: Ariana & Evans - Lavender Noir - Splash

Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Lavender - Eau de Toilette

Tags: $ShepherdsofStirling $RawHoggin $Discord

The brush is really coming into its own: great splay and just enough backbone. I think due to its low density, it’s not so much of a lather hog.

Two wonderful lavender scents accompanied Varen today, and the compliments have followed.
