The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man

Man, the ice here is just insane. Yesterday we had .1-.2” of ice. More freezing rain overnight and now we have close to a half inch covering everything! And it’s snowing now on top of it.

Had a good shave for Opposite Day today. Lathering left handed was more difficult than shaving left handed. The Jeeves’ Conservatory/Mountain Rain scent is a real winner!

 
I'd normally I'd like your pics, but now I just assume each one has a bingo call I won't find. So I hate them.
 
I haven’t been able to say this since I left for Hawaii. It’s taken me a good 5 days of effort..... but I’m finally caught up on reading posts in the forum. I did have to skim a bit, so forgive me if I missed something.

Now, watching the videos..... that’s another story. Maybe by the end of the weekend, maybe.....
 
Just found out I have to go into work tomorrow. It never got above freezing today, so the roads ought to be fun. UPS made a delivery today, and he said the roads were bad and getting worse! USPS was not out today.
 
Partially copied form my One Blade February entry:
Yesterday my Parker gave up. It failed to give me a close shave. And that is my deciding factor for pitching a blade. Around noon, I felt my face, and I had a lot of stubble, the same feel I don't expect until well into the evening. That's when I know that the next day I'm getting a new blade. Couldn't even get two weeks out of this blade (12 days), and that is appalling.

Threw a new one in today, and it still feels a bit draggy... but maybe not quite as much as the last one did on its first shave. So maybe there's hope. There's today + 15 more shaves this month, so we'll see if this one will last for the remainder of the challenge.

Still at a loss at how this blade is loved by so many. It's one of the worst I've ever tried.

So, tomorrow is valentines day, one of the worst holidays ever. I just don't see the point. I know there's actually some history behind it, but it has turned into a Halmark Holiday where you are just expected to shell out a bunch of money to show those that you love..... how much you love them. Dumb. You should be doing that all along.... not the spending money part, but showing them that you care. You don't need a day to designate affection. Anyway, I will not be doing anything special for it, but I will have a special shave for it. I have some controversial items in waiting, queued up for tomorrow that definitely fit the theme of the day. So stay tuned to tomorrow's VLOG for that.

Other than that, it's going to be a great Air Force Day. Hooah!
