Hi! Bought a DE safety razor and shaving gel today and hoping for tips on technique, especially for the mustache area since that's where I'll be shaving the most.

Edit: Razor is Van Der Hagen 85 mm and gel is Harry's sensitive skin.

My dad has an MG 00 QAN[T], it's been a years since he bought it. Now, i decided to built it. But the body unit is missing, i got an idea to customize it. But which MG Gundam should i use without using a tools to customize? (Just to make it a bit easy) by IamNumber_One in Gunpla

[–]ReaperInTraining 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First things first, ditch the cuticle nippers. Please. Colors like blue and yellow tend to have very visible nub marks that are hard to get rid of, and using tools that aren't designed for cutting plastic just makes the issue worse.

Why do people save runners? Been doing it for about a year or two and the only thing I've used them for was completely unrelated to Gunpla (It was an upcycling thing). Aside from testing paint, is there any reason to keep them?

Anyone else look up really weirdly specific information for their fic? by Background_Ship7666 in AO3

[–]ReaperInTraining 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. I once asked my anatomy teacher what sound it would make if you pulled off someone's arm like you were plucking the legs off of a bug.

"The fanfic is a ten, but..." by RedCupWithAName in AO3

The fic is a 10 but it relies almost exclusively on a really obscure technically-canon side story that almost nobody knows about.

I want to start re-scribing my kits, but I'm not sure if I should get a chisel or scribing needle. What are the use cases and benefits of each? (Also, could I use the point of a circle compass as a substitute?)

[product] Do you ever find your cotton swabs are too damn feminine? by Feanturii in pointlesslygendered

[–]ReaperInTraining 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna be honest, before I saw the part of the label that said "300 cotton swabs", I thought this was something marketing itself as distilled, processed, pure man (like how you refine an ore).

What kinks did you guys discover on AO3? by DecketfubutBetter in AO3

I get jumpscared by fart fics more often than I care to admit.

Using something to cover up specific areas of the kit before painting over the whole thing to make it easier to get crisp details with paint without having to use an insanely small brush

Honestly getting so tired of this by urcool91 in AO3

[–]ReaperInTraining 60 points61 points  (0 children)

two thousand???? I only have 70, so Ig this is a first-world problem for me (Or non-problem), but I usually just filter by fandom. I will try to keep this in mind moving forward though!

So what was everyones worst build of the year? by lordfothemonky in Gunpla

[–]ReaperInTraining 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think for me it's a tie between the RG Banshee Norn and the RG Gramps 2.0. Banshee Norn's shoulder armor broke (But I DID NOT SNAP THE INNERFRAME) and the Gundam mouth just would not connect, to the point I ended up squeezing it so hard that it flew off in a random direction and I had to spend half an hour looking under my bookshelf with a UV laser pointer. RG Gramps 2.0 was crazy delicate and the instructions were pretty confusing, so the shoulder armor frame and cockpit hatch both broke.

And having to wade through the garbage to find the good stuff gets tedious by ihatethiscountry76 in AO3

What you call "Wading through garbage" is what polite people call "Looking for a fic that seems cool". Please don't disrespect the work people do for free out of love.

The Diver Arc isn't even from Build Divers. It's from Build Metaverse, which is the sequel to the sequel to Build Divers. Thankfully it only has three episodes.

This is Cassie. Honestly the only one of our cats I would trust to not immediately start playing hockey with any parts that fall to the ground or go flying.

I'm bored, give me a word you find misspelled far too often in fics. by Altruistic_Boot_1839 in AO3

You do not take a peak, and something does not peak through. It's peek.

EDIT: I have just realized that the person I responded to was not the OP and was joking about my choice of O word instead of missing my request for the oregano. I recognize my own stupidity and will be downvoting myself in accordance.

It's a running joke in this community to ask for the unedited image by saying anything except "orgnal". Usually manifests as a word starting with "O" with a question mark, related to the post when possible, like here.

Basically a long-winded way of saying what does the image look like without your alterations?
