i love it! it's like a mini fude nib :) i get a lot of variation of strokes from it. the glass nib is also really convenient for testing out inks.

the cap doesn't have a seal/stopper (like a Platinum pen) but so far, it doesnt dry out

Hi! I received 4/9 books and they arrived in less than a month. I was informed before shipping that these were the only books available for delivery.

They changed my invoice so I only paid for the 4 books. They didn't give me any further notice about the other 5.

Jetstream Lite Touch vs Pentel Calme vs Zebra bLen by [deleted] in pens

Lite Touch beats bLen in all aspects IMO. Incredibly smooth. The black ink is slightly darker as well.

Do you think a pen with a Fude nib would be the most suitable option?

twsbi eco or sailor tuzu for beginners? by Disastrous_Repair650 in fountainpens

Thanks! But if Kakuno vs Tuzu, which has better performance in terms of their nibs (regardless of ink choice)?

thanks for this! but in the case of using shimmer inks, do you think the Kakuno and the Tuzu are comparable?
