For between $4 and $8 they send you a handle and 4 razors per month. Switch to a new razor style, they send you a new handle for free. Also a sample of their shave butter, which is amazing. Basically they are buying Gillette or whatever razors direct from the factory and selling them before they get branded, so it's a good deal cheaper.
Spool I switched to a safety razor and my face loves me for it. Once I found a razor blade that worked for me I was able to order a pack of 50 for 15 dollars. That pack should last me all year. The initial investment is maybe 15-20 dollars when you buy the safety razor but it's very cost effective.
Plus finding out which razor blade brand works for you is a lot of fun if you buy an assorted pack of different razors. It's wild how different the shave is.
I have had a safety razor for I think 6 or 7 years now
I don't shave every day and when I do it's only my neck not my whole face
but I am still on my first 100 pack of razors
not only is the shave way easier on your skin, but it's outrageously cheaper too
My futon had to be delivered by movers. It took them 15 minutes to get all of the parts from their truck into my apartment, and then I had to put the whole thing together by myself.
What kind of wild futon do you have?
A big one.
(I downgraded from a 1 bedroom to a studio recently, so I kinda needed something like that. )

drinkin' coffee in anticipation of an evening of taking @Blameless Cleric and several of her friends to see my brother's band plan one last *tears up* time before she abandons us for a life of debt, ice, and prison cell sized accommodations.

I really want to do this! But I thought I was looking at like $60 or so to get the initial setup. You can get something worthwhile for $20 though?
In my weird experience yes. It was an impulse buy when I was in Pittsburgh a few months ago. There was a shop dedicated to shaving and hair products and all sorts of stuff like that. Walked in picked up a middle of the road razor for about 20 dollars to see if it would work for me. You can of course upgrade to a more expensive and luxurious safety razor with a pearl handle and all sorts of silly stuff but yeah I absolutely believe that you do not have to shell out 60 dollars to get a serviceable safety razor.
The whole boar bristle and lather etc setup isn't a necessary step. You can add that stuff in later if you find that the safety razor works for you (which i really think it will)

a merkur hd is ~40, looks like, and should last you forever
razors themselves are dirt cheap, so your guess of $60 is probably right
compare to 15 for a mach3 razor handle and and it looks like 50 cartridges are ~110
another example of how it's cheaper to be wealthy. This sort of thing is really amazing and frustrating to me. If I had the $60, I could save so much over the long term and get a better result. But it's easier to drop $10 or $15 at a time once in a while because of the lack of savings.
Speaking of which, I had really encouraging news on the jerb front. A position as an associate director of tech opened up at an episcopal outreach mission here in town. I asked our new priest if he knew anyone I could talk to over there, and it turns out he was on the board of directors until just recently. Hopefully that's a strong enough connection to get me onto the top of their list!
i don't understand how it'd be not bbq. it could very well be bbq in every way- and then if you want you dip your meat into some sauce or pour the sauce on top. i mean, if someone made me some bbq chicken on the grill where they basted it with sauce, it would not cease to be bbq chicken if i used more sauce after it came off the grill
While you can barbecue on a home barbecue, many people use their BBQ / grill for grilling instead, because it's much faster and less technique-dependent.
there seems to be definite linguistic drift here. i think the common usage is that traditional bbq is smoked whereas 'non-smoked' bbq would be what, grilling while incorporating the traditional flavors of bbq?
hence, hey does anyone wanna come to my bbq almost never means does anyone wanna come watch me smoke meats at 140 degrees for 16 hours
Well no of course not, because your host began smoking the meat 14 hours prior to the time that he asked guests to arrived
My brother is a very serious BBQer
He's not reading this (yet), but when he does
He's gonna be really offended by any implication that a grilled chicken is the same as a barbecued chicken
He may actually post, that's how offended he'll be
Bbq is art. Grilling is physics. Which would you rather have in your mouth, the Mona Lisa or Steven Hawking?
also if you start using a safety razor you will have to learn how to shave
what direction the grain of your beard grows on different areas of your face/neck
how to make a nice lather and the importance of keeping lather between your skin and a razor at all times
the angle to hold the razor on the different planes of your face and how much pressure to use
I was real mad my dad didn't teach me anything useful when it came to shaving, just here hold this blue plastic peice of shit and scrape it over your face over and over until the hairs are gone

you're good to go and can upgrade as time goes on. the sampler packs are a little bit more expensive but once you figure out which blade works for you the cost diminishes and you'll always have a good shave.
