    Default My Newest Opus

    Ladies and gentlemen:

    Below is the link to my latest short magazine article. The Sweet Shave is a general article on the world of wet shaving. I wrote it for the general public that is unfamiliar with this world. I had to keep everything within the 800-word maximum limit allowed me by the magazine, so there was a lot I had no room to cover. Anyway, enjoy.

    The Sweet Ritual of Shaving

    Regards,
    Obie

    Hello, CoachMike:

    I am sorry the link does not work for you. The magazine's name is Shepherd Express (shepherdexpress.com), in Milwaukee. You might be able to Google it. Thanks.

    Regards,
    Obie

    thanks obie,

    i especially like the mentioning of artisanal products that the everyday shaver may have no knowledge of.

    Wonderful Obie !.
    Love the warning at the end too
    “The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.”
