SOTN Aug. 8

Maybe they're after me now.


Pholcus phalangioides, aka "Daddy Longlegs"
This guy was waiting for me on the sink. It took me a bit of poking around to figure out that he was on his back. And quite dead.
I found it odd that almost all the middle sections of the legs were straight up, and the tips of the distal (farthest from the body) sections were all resting on the thorax. Almost an optical illusion.
I got him sorted out (waste basket), then set up the shaving gear for the SOTN photo op.





prep - shower with Caprina Fresh Goat’s Milk Original Formula bar soap - getting thin enough to be flexible. I had better check my inventory.
razor - British Aristocrat Junior
blade - Astra SS (7)
brush - Unknown brand of vintage-ish boar. I call it my "David Lynch Brush". It was probably abused by the previous owner by being left standing bristles-down in the mug every day. I do like the handle though.
soap - Stirling Coniferous
post - warm water rinse, DSA “Pure & Natural” alum, cold water rinse
aftershave - Pinaud Clubman
music - streaming the CBC Listen "Afro Beat" playlist

Results: I give it a 3/5. BBS, but with a couple of weepers. More weepers than I would expect with the Ari Jr. 
I blame the WS blade, of course.

The real David Lynch:

Big Lynch fan here! 

Oh, and Cellar Spiders AKA Daddy Long Legs are actually pretty cool spiders. They hunt and kill other scary spiders in your house and also eat a lot of annoying bugs. They pose no threat to man. Cellar spiders get a free pass in my home.
