Beauty & Barber

 
Shaving Brush
 
 
Human beings have been adorning or improving their looks since the creation of time. From the need to remove unwanted body hair, to applying facial powders and lipstick to improve ones look, beauty has always played an important role in fashion and human development.

Be that as it may, modern packaging is functional and practical rather than beautiful and useful.
