Anything that can go wrong... Will happen while I'm Shaving

Outside of it being a spider that looks much bigger on a desktop monitor than a phone screen, I have no idea as to what kind of one it is nor how big/small. :unsure:
 
Lol, it's not that big. Never found the little guy. He's probably moved on to find a new place to nest. Too many humans looking at him. Looks like his body was probably the size of my thumb nail, not huge... But un-fun for sure.

Guess what... I had another great shave. I have to say, this isn't the slickest soap in my den. Still, it was plenty competent. For the 4th shave, the Nacet was hanging in there quite well. All of that coupled with the Hensons, it added up to a happy shave. Three passes and some cleanup and it was DFS+ city.

Time for a cold one. Enjoy your evening Cadre!

Silly Paul...any size of spider is too big 😉

Ditto. Maybe you ought to look to getting a few more of those spiders. I only squash bugs at the request of my wife. I agree with @Spider : spiders are very useful to have around.

Lol, I'm not the Don Juan of spiders. If he wants more of his kind, he better get some Barry White records. [emoji1787]

I don't see any ants or flies or such, so I think he's doing a good enough job on his own. Still, it was good to know he's a good one to have. Even better that he survived, then. Lol!

Decided to pull out the 7 o'clock black, since the Nacet worked so well. Guess what?! It was really good. A bit harder to get to DFS+ than the Nacet, but absolutely doable with this razor. In the end, three passes and some cleanup (with a quarter turn loosened) and I'm good to go.

The scent of this soap is nice. A good autumn / holiday scent with enough slickness and protection the keep me happy.

Have a good evening Cadre!

Day 2 with the 7 o'clock black. Again, it wasn't quite as great as the others. It was good still, and I easily found DFS+. Still, I feel like I get a happier shave from the Nacet or Personna blades. Nonetheless, if I ever run out of those two, I have a full stock of these to carry me through. I just won't be reaching for it as a regular choice.

The soap is one of my favorite scents, done in the premium base with a bit extra 'oomph' to its scent. A great autumn soap, IMO.

Have a good evening Cadre!
