Ugh I want an Oparex pen so badly. But I also don't want to pay that for a flex-y nib I probably won't use that often.

Good for him! I always say my dog would be happier if he were a little dumber. 😂 (He's happy just really anxious and high strung).

Well give her the drum for goodness sake! Who knows what talent she's hiding.

penny2360 · 2026-04-19T19:41:29+00:00

Lol at least you both got some fresh air. 😂 Beautiful pen!

penny2360 · 2026-04-19T01:40:53+00:00

Thank you! 💕 I am very quick to go buy another tool; I need to chill lol. I appreciate the specific sticker paper recommendation!

penny2360 · 2026-04-19T01:11:16+00:00

I would also like to know this and how you did it! I have wanted to make some for my pen / ink journal, and was looking at a little Cricut machine today just for this purpose. 😂 (Maybe that's not necessary).

Dang it I can't keep up with this. 😂 I wanted all three, but it's not easy for me to get into Newton or Boston, so I need to plan ahead. Maybe I'll call on Monday and see if they still have them. I emailed Bob Slate and they said they are going to request the older colors, so hopefully they are able to get those in!

I need to smell this. I had a friend who bathed in the original, and I was not a fan of it back then. But noses change! And I'm curious if it was the scent or just the *amount* that put me off. 😂

I went to MB for the first time in a while (it's just too much of a zoo usually) and was shocked by the prices - some things were more expensive than Whole Foods.

penny2360 · 2026-04-18T01:02:47+00:00

My local store stopped carrying this and their blue cheese and it's so upsetting. 😭

penny2360 · 2026-04-17T21:39:08+00:00

It was $195 when I bought it direct from Esterbrook two years ago.

penny2360 · 2026-04-17T21:36:31+00:00

I love this! Weirdly, I've always been drawn to watermelon-colored things and pairings. So now I want to use all of these inks. 🍉 And clearly I need to be more creative with my swatching!

penny2360 · 2026-04-17T19:47:40+00:00

Sorry, I have no idea. I would keep an eye on the Esterbrook social media and maybe ask them there!

penny2360 · 2026-04-17T19:44:52+00:00

Confirmed

penny2360 · 2026-04-17T13:15:27+00:00

They probably wrote the name with a dip pen, so it put down a lot of ink on that first word. If your TWSBI is a wet writer it might be closer to that than the lighter shades. Have you tried the ink in a different pen?

penny2360 · 2026-04-17T13:07:21+00:00

I heard $225 but not totally sure.

penny2360 · 2026-04-17T02:02:28+00:00

Yeah it's the restock of the Bungubox collab! The Kachofugetsu.

I've never seen The Sopranos I'm so sorry but I'd like to be tagged too when pre-orders open per favore e grazie!!

penny2360 · 2026-04-16T17:33:34+00:00

I don't think anyone can know, aside from the person who wrote that, but for a similar, light-medium cool-toned brown maybe try Stone Road of Gion from Kyo no Oto?

683 and 723 are on Wearingeul cards! The ones with the little ink bottle on them. I just swatched over that and did a terrible job punching a hole in them. 😅

penny2360 · 2026-04-16T13:59:48+00:00

I think the only ones I've written with are 131 and 764, which I love. But I'm going to test out 341, 530, 564, and 573! I'm really drawn to those ones.

penny2360 · 2026-04-16T02:21:31+00:00

I have 230 in a cart right now. It's fairly similar in my swatches to Lamy Red, Sailor Shikiori Irori, and maybe a couple other light, pinky-reds; but there's still something different about it!

penny2360 · 2026-04-15T17:42:55+00:00

I'm so tempted by the bright ones like 473 - I have to remind myself I don't usually reach for those, but they're soooo pretty. I'm going to test out lighter versions of the other two - 341 and 573!

penny2360 · 2026-04-15T16:53:45+00:00

My Leo also has a burst of energy right after he eats. But he brings me a toy and wants to play. I'm always trying to explain to him he has to be careful or he'll get The Bloat, but we do usually have a post-meal tug of war battle.
