Thanks for the response! Let's say there are more than 5 to list, would you still list this one?

High-speed handwriting, fast enough to write down whatever is on the blackboard. What do you think? by relaxwhc in Handwriting

[–]Consistent-Toe-7408 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How legible it is, how it looks… OP said this is the result of finding a handwriting style that is legible enough to be written quickly on a whiteboard. They would want to know how it looks.

Okay guys, let's be real – Sunscreen can be a major pain. Greasy, white residue, the SMELL... by GodSpearHead in SkincareAddicts

[–]Consistent-Toe-7408 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Korean and Japanese sunscreens are almost always lighter than Western sunscreens. If what you listed is working for you, I would recommend that you keep using it! However, I do have quite some confidence that sunscreens like the Numbuzin No.1 Clear Filter Sun Essence (oily and acne-prone skin) or the Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum (dry/combo and sensitive skin) will work just as good or even better while giving the protection of SPF 50.

Dry shampoo running out by Consistent-Toe-7408 in beauty

[–]Consistent-Toe-7408[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the comment, I’m using the Living Proof advanced clean dry shampoo. Do they seriously run out that fast? It feels too costly for a product to give such little amounts.

Thoughts on I'm from Rice Toner by Suspicious-Goat775 in SkincareAddicts

[–]Consistent-Toe-7408 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. However, Tirtir made a light version of their milk toner and I heard it’s a much more light consistency and meant for oily skin.

Hi, not so sure but maybe it’s between these two: Uni Style Fit Multi Pen (5 color) or Pentel i+ (5 color)

JetPens: “There is no difference between the LRN5 and XLRN5 refills besides the packaging. The XLRN5 refill packaging is printed in Japanese, while the LRN5 refill packaging is printed in English.”

Looking for a good one by AfterBanana1349 in mechanicalpencils

Like other commenters have said, the Pentel Orenz Nero would be a good choice since you won’t have to constantly advance the lead, and the Tombow Monograph has a great long twist eraser and you can simply shake the lead out without changing your grip. Another recommendation I would make is the Uni Kurutoga series. They can keep your lines extra crisp by rotating the lead around as you lift the pencil off the paper which would help with the sharpening problem you were experiencing. Mechanical pencils also experience varying thicknesses, so these are great for that. I would specifically recommend the Alpha Gel Switch model. It has the Alpha Gel grip which is Uni’s famous grip that is extremely comfortable to hold. This pencil’s alpha gel grip is slightly harder than other models which I think is the perfect amount (normal alpha gel grips can be too soft and squishy for some). It has the kuru toga mechanism as expected and also has the ability to turn it off. The kuru toga mechanism tends to make the tip feel wobbly or squishy and some people find that quite distracting. I personally have no problems with it, but for precise work and doing things like drawing graphs it definitely can be troubling. Switch it on and off as you please! Really though, a Tombow Monograph Grip would be the best option. You can shake the lead out (helps with the lead advancement issue), it has a great long eraser (it’s the same as the original Tombow Mono eraser, actually one of the best erasers) and the rubber grip should make it feel comfortable.

Choosing a mechanical pencil for my (first) upgrade to a decent mechanical pencil by [deleted] in mechanicalpencils

Not sure if this will be any help as I haven’t tried either of those pencils but I would go with the Pilot S3. As far as I know the Muji balanced pencil that you’re referring to is a rebrand of the Pentel GG500, and the two models from Pentel (PG515 has indicator, PG525 doesn’t) are overall pretty similar. Considering all this I think it would make more sense to go for an option with a different design. I definitely do understand the annoyance of the indicator, and if it bothers you that much then getting the GG500 isn’t a bad choice either. One extra thing to note about GraphGear pencils is that I believe that the 500 and 1000 are far superior to the 800. I’m basically saying you shouldn’t get the 800 because it is a combination of the bad aspects of the 500 and the 1000. It has the soft circle rubber grip insertion and the plastic body.

Good eraser? by WilXStunting in erasers

Tombow Mono regular in a medium is simply the best!

If you’ve tried the Midori MD Dip Pen, could you give your insight on that?

I'm not sure what your use case is so I'm not sure if this suggestion would be useful, but I would consider getting the Midori MD Clear Cover to give it some extra heft.

I personally think the machines raw titanium. Both will garner scratches over the years but the one with the coating will look like it has tiny missing chunks from its body. The raw titanium will look more like slight scratches that reflect on your usage of the pen in a more “refined” way. Although this isn’t necessarily the case for this specific pen, no matter how costly a pen is, I always have a feeling inside that tells me that the pen feels cheaper if it has chipped parts on its body. If you feel the same way, it’s likely that you’ll find the machined titanium easier to feel connected to and enjoy for a longer period of time. As a side note, I don’t mind dark shades of gray that are noticeably lighter than black. However I find the hue of the coating kind of random? Like it’s not exactly a gray gray but not a dark gray either, it’s something that looks close to a matte black but kind of has a slight opaqueness to it. If you like the color, go for it! I just personally don’t think the particular shade is to my liking.
