I have to ask. Has anybody used any dop in their personal grooming
lately? Why the h*ll is it called a dop kit if there's no dop in it?
Dop, dop, dop...sounds like something undesirable, like a leaky toilet.
Maybe it's just me but I prefer to simply call mine "My Stuff", or my
grooming kit. Dop, maybe it's the stuff you find on the bottom of the
fridge and you don't know what it is but you're sure it's responsible
for that curious smell that you thought was misplaced Baba Ganush.
Dop, maybe it's original use was to contain those Pods from "Invasion of
the Bodysnatchers". Clever Pod people that they were, they changed the
name to Dop so as not to alarm unsuspecting males going about shaving.
My imagination is getting the best of me. I must know. 8-)
