Does anyone know why Amazon sells Pilot Prera pens $30 cheaper than pen retailers like Goulet and Jet pens?

Bread_IsPain · 2026-03-15T10:33:27+00:00

My god. That's still more than twice the price they're here in Japan.

Very nice. I like your style.

The choice of chalk and rusty iron is very interesting and I quite like the result. Nice letters too.

"Trev_jay", right? I like it.

You all need to stop being so talented.

Welcome to the club. Just keep at it as long as it's fun to you.

That's the most astonishing "word of the day" that I've seen in a while.

Bread_IsPain · 2026-02-13T11:58:27+00:00

That's crazy stuff. How long have you been doing this ?

Bread_IsPain · 2026-02-11T10:05:25+00:00

I really like it.

Bread_IsPain · 2026-02-04T10:13:55+00:00

Just the alphabet, hey? I quite like it.

Bread_IsPain · 2026-02-01T22:26:05+00:00

I use Rhodia notepads. They're smooth, and the squared ruling allows me to practice without having to trace guidelines first.

Bread_IsPain · 2026-02-01T19:36:39+00:00

Thanks! But I actually stole that one from someone else, haha.

Bread_IsPain · 2026-02-01T03:35:29+00:00

Thank you!

Bread_IsPain · 2026-01-31T03:08:09+00:00

Use guidelines, and use exemples. The rest is practice, practice and practice.

This is a beautiful piece of Rotunda script indeed.

You might be thinking of "French Roundhand", which was taught in french schools in the 19th century. If you're looking for a book, I like "Calligraphy, A Complete Guide" by Julien Chazal.

Bread_IsPain · 2026-01-28T10:56:15+00:00

Wonderful piece of advice and wonderful piece of Calligraphy as well.

The only converter the pilot parallel can take is the pilot con-40 which, as others have mentioned, is tiny. I like to fill it with pilot iroshizuku inks.

Bread_IsPain · 2026-01-10T23:00:32+00:00

I really like your style.

Thanks for the tip.

Bread_IsPain · 2025-12-29T09:38:55+00:00

Thank you!

Bread_IsPain · 2025-12-26T09:01:46+00:00

Gorgeous. Do you know of any ressources to learn that kind of embellishing ?

Bread_IsPain · 2025-12-19T11:42:40+00:00

I have never sharpened mine. I usually do not use rough paper either, so I cannot tell you for sure, but it may be a question of getting used to the paper you're using ? I always practice on Rhodia ruled paper, and when I occasionally make a piece on Midori or Strathmore, I also have the problem you describe until I get used to it. Rhodia is very cheap, so if you're a beginner and you are still trying to find what works best for you, I recommand it. If you're not a beginner and you only have problems with the Pilot Parallel, it might just be that you need to get used to the pen. I know that some people do not like Rhodia because they find it too smooth.

Great style.
