Exceptional shave.
September 23, 2025 -- Telegrama Tuesday
3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Beautiful autumn day here and the fresh linen scent of Telegrama was the perfect complement to it.

Stirling + boar is so good.
Duodi 2 Vendémiaire an 234 de la Révolution, jour de Safran, and also: Zingari Zischtig
I learn today that yesterday was the first day of the year 234 – so happy new year to everyone! The combination of Watchman with Bon Monsieur is slightly strange: a rather mysterious scent followed by a very inoffensive bright citrussy scent – but it grows on me.
Anyways, have a good night!
Bonne année, bonne santé!
Thanks!
