If you could only choose one brand, it would be…?

I was more of a lurker on reddit, but we need more content here, so I guess I need to start participating a bit… so, a fairly standard question to get some conversation going!

If there was only one brand that you could use forevermore, is would be…

Pens: Pilot

I started with a Kakuno, and now have a Metro (actually my least favourite pen), Prera, E95, VP and a metal Falcon…

Ink: Pilot Iro

I am in love with Tsuki-yo (midnight blue), but I also regularly use Yu-yake (orange), Shin-ryoku (green), Take-sumi (charcoal), Asa-gao (royal blue) and Yama-budo (purple? pink? crimson? I don’t really know, but I really didn’t exect to like it as much as I do…).
I have a couple of non-Pilot inks, but I keep going back to Pilot because they just work with every pen I put them in…

Guess I quite like Pilot! How about you??

mukt,

Kanwrite. Easily the best fountain pen I have. And I have over 2 dozen pens including multiple jinhao and Preppy.

Platinum 3776.

Definitely Conklin, I love their styles/designs.

Earlier I would have chosen Pelikan. But given my recent usage, I'd now say Sailor. If I could only choose one brand of ink, I'd probably choose Diamine (with Robert Oster a close second). As for paper, Hobonichi with old Tomoe River paper.

Bosseschreibt,

Pens is hard to decide since my three favourite pens come from three different Brands 😅 So I'll just go with my current favourite, which is Wet and Wise. Handmade pens with Jowo or Bock nibs.

Inks is easier since I already mostly use one ink brand and that is De Atramentis.

Paper I would go with MidoriMd.

I'm not decided on paper, but for pens I would say Jinhao is pretty solid, if you were to only buy one brand. Their price to quality ratio is nearly unbeatable.

disorganised_penguins,

I forgot to add paper/notebooks!!

Paper: Life Stationery, specifically the A5 gridded notebook

Very smooth, lovely colour, grid isn’t too dark, haven’t had any issues with bleeding and very minimal ghosting. Recommend!
