Another sub member mentioned this soap, and I’m glad I picked it up. Scent-wise it’s very reminiscent of SBSW Coffee Spoons.

Absolutely. It’s a perfect fresh, light-weight scent, and I’m bummed that it’s been discontinued. After today’s shave, my tub has a ring of death.

This is my first use of Telegrama, and I’m all about it. I love how it balances freshness and depth without ever going over the top. There’s also something nostalgic about it, though I can’t quite put my finger on it yet.
