Bristly Shave Kit Branding
Artisan grooming has been catching on again across the Western world and product lines like Barbey are flying off the shelves.

This is intended to represent the stubble on a man's face. All in all, Barbey Cosmetics are contemporary, chic, DIY and perfectly suited to the modern, refined man.
