>>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.
