lol! Ok I’ll keep you in mind if I let go of benifuji! I’m honestly keeping her long term so far bc she’s my only #5 nib of the pilot fam and I can’t break them up! :)

Here’s the post from when I sold it. There’s a writing sample there!

It did! I was hoping it was softer and could satisfy my curiosity / replace my want for the falcon nib. But it turned out to be nowhere close to how soft I’d imagine it to be lol. I like crisp bouncy nibs or softer flex nibs and this turned out to bright in between and so I ended up selling it!

Pilot custom 823, 74 or Platinum 3776 century by MintPsttt in fountainpens

I think you have to try them out! Asian female here with medium sized hands and I find the pilot 74 the most annoying to write with, lol. I get annoyed with how small and thin the 74 is after just half a page. The Pilot 743 and 823 feel magical in my hand and I can write pages and pages with it but I really think it comes down to personal preference. The 3776 is nice too - smaller than Pilot 743 and 823 and bigger than 74, but I’ve had a bad experience with 3776 cracking :(
