  • The Intimacy of the Barbershop

      The other day I went a whole two weeks without getting a haircut, simply because I couldn’t break from work to visit the barber. My barber is an expert at what he does, and I dare say one of the best in his profession. Therefore, it’s always a challenge in terms of time to…
