Quartidi 4 Ventôse an 234 de la Révolution, jour de Troène


This was another try with the Starry Night brush. While the handle is one of the best I have (ergonomically), I am less enthused by the knot – which is a tad bit hard and gave me brush-burn. I gave it a good cleaning with dish cleaner, and it seems to have become slightly softer.

I'm alone at home, so I'm using the non-wife approved scents. Which means: mainly the Stag. Now, the tallow base I have is pretty shit. I've complained about it before, and I'm still not a fan. The aftershave though is very good.

Have a good day!
