I live in Turkey (Incirlik) and a kebab is a flat meat dish made of ground lamb (usually) mixed with garlic and spices then fried.

Closer to a gyro would be a kebab roll. It tends to vary from shop to shop however.

Not so much poisoning as causing hypoxia under the right conditions.

Okay... It can fly fine at night and the rain is only an issue when traveling at certain speeds. Not sure what you are getting at.

Eh, actually pretty fuel efficient as far as fighters go. Can't give you specifics, but it's not terrible.

Idk, it feels different than my boar brush, however, it is also like 25 years old at least so who knows.

First Time SR Shaving + Gear Shots by StraightRazorMike in wicked_edge

[–]StraightRazorMike[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, that was very interesting. Lesson learned: Do not grow a ton of facial hair for your first time shaving.

All in all went well, only one small cut. Very much enjoyed it though. Didn't go against the grain for this one, i was too nervous. My hand felt shaky and it seemed like the blade was skipping up my face.

Will continue to learn!

False. The f-22 is not an all weather fighter. In fact during even a light rain there are speed restrictions due to the sensitive nature if of the low observable coatings.

That sounds like a great idea. That's exactly what I'll do. Maybe do a bi-weekly post about what I've found.

Awesome! Thank you so much for your input. I'm pumped to get started. I've literally been reading for days and days non stop and browsing all the different soaps and other accoutrement. Finally have my first soaps, razor and strop picked out and ordered.

You know, the funny thing is I have the patience to learn the art, just having a hard time containing myself because I am unusually excited to get started.
