I’M BIG ON small grooming upgrades—a reliable daily cologne, natural deodorants that won’t irritate, shaving niceties—splayed out on my sink: an exhibition of discernment in my daily routine. When guests use my bathroom, it’s not uncommon for someone to remark on the grooming essentials they spied, and I love every second of it. Try as I might, there are stains from former occupants I can’t seem to clean, and questionable craftsmanship in the caulking around the shower and sink. Recently, I discovered the easiest, cheapest, and most overlooked bathroom upgrade—hand soap. Now, it feels like a hotel bathroom, and anyone who uses it comes out remarking how good the soap smells and how soft their hands feel.
