Men's Toiletries

jackI'm sure women's toiletries are worse, but I'm always boggled by men's toiletries.
I know I've ranted about this before, but it seems bizarre that if you try to find shaving foam you find bottles blazoned "ACME SUPER ENDURANCE MJOLNIR GEL" or "AJAX HYPER MANLY FOAM", but nowhere anywhere on the front of the bottle does it seem to say "shave". Seriously, I want to give you money, all you have to do it not hide from it!
I also see, manly toiletry companies have started selling SHOWER TOOLS, which seems to be a euphemism for "We'll package loofahs up in streamlined black plastic that looks dynamic and sell them based on how macho they are or die trying".

As best as I could tell, it didn't say it at all on the front, although it may have done somewhere where my eye scanned past it.
