• Brush: Declaration Grooming Know It All 28mm B14 Badger Knot
• Razor: Karve Shaving Co. Overlander
• Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless (Green) [10]
• Lather: Barrister and Mann - Roam Two - Soap
• Post Shave: Noble Otter - Lonestar - Aftershave
• Fragrance: Noble Otter - Lonestar - Eau de Parfum

The scent notes for Roam Two (2.0) are listed as Tobacco, Grass, Soil, Thyme, Sage, Leather, Coffee, Pink Pepper, Juniper, Cypriol, Ginger, Musk, and Black Currant. It opened bright and tangy, but it didn't last long. There were hints of tobacco and leather, but not much more. The scent overall didn't live up to the hype of the original Roam, but I have no basis for comparison with the original.

Lonestar also starts with a similar bright, tanginess, but it opens up in a completely different way, making it a very enjoyable scent.
