Yes I like sheen-a-coladas!

There’s quite a range in sheens; from the mega-sheen of Kiwi Inks Quetzalcoatl, to the much more subtle sheen of Van Dieman’s Underwater Sea Urchin. The only sheen type I have that isn’t included here is the classic blue with red sheen, but I didn’t have any pens inked up with one of those at the moment.

Also, sheens are a huge pain to photograph 😂

The first four lines in this image is Van Dieman’s Underwater Sea Urchin—a blackish ink with a dark green sheen. The second set of lines are Diamine Winter Miracle—a purple ink with blue shimmer and bright green sheen.

This is one ink I was very meh about at first, but it slowly grew on me. It does some weird shading and has a green sheen that’s sort of a mild green tone.

Ishikawa Prefecture, which was severely damaged by the earthquake, is an area where crafts using lacquer and gold leaf are flourishing. We would be happy if you could include "Wajima-nuri" and "Wajima maki-e" fountain pens in your list of potential purchases when the recovery progresses and you are able to make fountain pens again. Thank you very much.

Does anyone else still have and/or use their first ?

I bought these together so they are tied.

I had used the disposable zebras before and somehow that led me down this path.

Does anyone else see what I see? I have two other pro gear slim medium fine but it looks almost like I am occasionally getting some line variation? I ain’t mad about it, it’s just different and I’m curious.

Okay but this kakuno with a kaweco clip is honestly really cute.

Doodling with a while my dinner processes… I actually like how this looks overall so I might do more like it?

Hongdian Black Forest w/ ef-type nib

Den Konverter habe ich eben gerade mit ziemlich stark pigmentierter Faber-Castell Black Tinte befüllt, funktioniert einwandfrei! Ich brauchte den Konverter nichtmal zurückzudrehen, nach einer Minute konnte ich ohne weiteres Zutun losschreiben.

War ja anfangs wegen der EF-Feder etwas skeptisch, aber: guter Durchfluss, ohne dabei zu nass zu schreiben. Und so sieht der Füller zusammengeschraubt aus:

technically it's still Tuesday, but don't forget about !

show off your inks!

this ink is : Ferris Wheel Press - adventurine

I think it's very unique for a grey and isn't as watery as some of their other inks. and luckily it seems to agree with most of my pens!

I really like this ink in concept but the shimmer either comes out in a ball or not at all in all the pens I have tried.

Y’all… I’m crying right now. My 33rd birthday present came early and wow… two sailor shikiori, one 14 and one 21.
And also sailor’s 14k zoom and a 14k music nibs. I feel so pampered.

Planner: I’ll be sticking this year to the day-free, which I also used last year. Amazon had the 2023 edition on clearance during Black Friday. It has the original Tomoe River paper, so I got three —after all, it’s day-free so I do my own dates anyway, and it’s probably my last chance to get a Hobo with original TR.

The 3.7mm grid is basically perfect for me, and I use two grids per line of text (7.4 mm between baselines).

So, los jetzt: Hände auf'n Tisch, Füllervergleich! 🤭😁

Heute ist er angekommen, der #Jinhao159 (der "alte", ohne dem x davor). Was für ein geil schweres Stück, genauso, wie ich es mir - nachdem, was ich hier schon so zu hören bekommen hab - vorgestellt habe.

Satte 60 Gramm (inkl. befülltem Konverter) bringt er auf die Briefwaage, und mit dem Allugehäuse liegt er selbst in meinen Griffeln gut in der Hand. Die Feder ist mit Breite M angegeben, fällt aber geringfügig schmaler aus. Aber das erwarte bzw. erhoffe ich mir auch von einem chinesischen Hersteller. Genau so.

Alles für knapp über EUR 10,-- inkl. Füllerkonverter. Hab ihn nun mal mit der #EarlGrey von #DiamineInk befüllt. Hoffentlich kann ich schlafen... 😀
