Comfortable three pass shave.

I really like the scent of Tres Matres, but the splash gives my face a bit of a tingle. I may need to move this one along...

I miss Tres Matres. Not hinting or nothin', just sayin'.

Primidi 11 Germinal an 234 de la Révolution, jour de Pervenche: Zingari Zischtig


Today I didn't feel unworthy of the scent, and no need to be wearing a tuxedo while using Mousse Illuminée. It was kind of weird.

Have a good evening!

Terrific scent! I went for a Bleu Teusday today, but will be joining you in a Zingari Zischtig soon.
