New article on Medium: “Patience Comes Through Practice”

I have a new article just published on Medium. It summarizes some things I’ve learned that have improved my patience. Take a look.

A Christmas shave with a dark-chocolate fragrance

Though originally a Valentine’s Day release, dark chocolate seems not inappropriate (word of the day: litotes) to the Christmas celebration. TBH, if received as a gift, I would prefer dark chocolate to myrrh.

The lather was exceptional — my brief recent foray into bowl lathering continues to bear fruit — and I have to say I love this little Keyhole brush from Italian Barber.

That 1940’s Gillette Aristocrat did a great job today, and at the end the splash of dark chocolate aftershave was a pleasure. The drydown is not so much chocolate as a kind of dark musk.

I wish you all a joyous day.
