  Midnight Special is marketed as a Winter scent, but I was craving it this morning. It paired well with the vetiver scents, so no complaints here.

  The Vetyver scent really opened up today and I could sense some fancy stuff going on in the background. My sense of smell seems to have fully returned even though I’m still trying to kick some sort of virus which I’ve had for a few weeks. It might help that since I’ve used this old soap for a few days in a row, I’m gaining access to some fragrance that has been buried deep inside the bowels of the soap.

  I honed my 72-V (Ze “V” stands for “vedge”) yesterday evening for today’s Wedgeday shave, and it’s butter smooth. A real silent joy to use.

  Very classic, cologney software today. Light citrus all around.

    I honed my 72-V

    One of the great things about straight razors. If you don’t like the edge, just change it. No need to hunt for the perfect DE blade.

      I love the agency that comes with a hone.

  This was my first use of Telegrama. Very interesting scent. I need to spend more time with it but I think it will be a nice addition to my collection.

      I liked this scent at first try, but I think I will grow to appreciate it more with multiple uses. Fresh linen is definitely in there, though.
