It used to be guys would take surreptitious glances
at each others male members in high school gymn shower or public restrooms in some primal measure
like Cariboo displaying antlers.
Now, I visit homes and look at their shaving kit ( if any)

No soaps?
Other than that, I'd say, yup.

I would have to say the brush collection is a little thin!
Welcome.

Actually that's my new TFS Bergamatto Neroli.
Drawers are full of soaps and creams.
Thanks for the welcome folks!
