    it probably tastes fine, it's just not bbq

    it's dipping food in bbq sauce

    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

    *pushes up culinary nerd glasses*

    Actually, barbecue is a very specific cooking technique http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbecue

    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?

    *points* Exactly.

    rock & roll is banned at her school due to problematic lyrics and a history of racist co-opting of AA culture.

    They are mammals, but their bodies are adapted to have the water take some of their bulk off of them. Without that they suffocate.

    Spool what's all this shaving business

    @tyrannus‌

    We started using http://www.dollarshaveclub.com

    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 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)

    I just decided to give Harry's a shot because for $10 why not, but I haven't had to buy any shaving stuff in over 3 years since I got my safety razor and one 50 pack of assorted blades. I don't shave very often but I still have probably a third of the blades left.

    If I don't shave daily I have a beard.

    4 days and I have a beard large enough for birds to nest in.

    also if you start using a safety razor you will have to learn how to shave

    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

    to be fair I do this with a safety razor all the time it and works well enough

    those cherubic cheeks of yours must be made of iron

    I cut myself a fair number of times when I was learning to use a safety razor

    and I don't ever shave against the grain because I will shred my face

    No I just wanted to take passive aggressive jabs!

    Um

    Actually I can tell you what I do, but it doesn't work super well so let me know if you have any alternatives. One thing is since I'm single I go way longer between shaving than I would otherwise. I use an electric razor to trim it down, then basically just shave with a safety razor (same one I use for my face) with some kind of lather, either shower gel or shaving soap or whatever.

    That's... really all I got. I have some sugaring stuff I use when I am in the mood, and honestly what I would probably do if I had a significant other is wax/sugar, then shave when it started coming back until everything was growing back then wax/sugar again. Repeat indefinitely.

    ...yeah, really just let me know if you find anything better. It's something I have not been able to get working myself =/
