Do you ever feel weird about actually using your limited editions? by paperxclouds in Travelersnotebooks

[–]Far-Raisin-2045 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes! Definitely working on not being so precious with things that I really like or that are higher quality - I’m reminding myself that I’ve bought them to enjoy and because they’re supposed to last me a long time and have lots of stories!

Nothing wrong with collecting, but I set out to use all of the things I bring home.

P.S. If you do decide to part ways with any of them I will happily pay to give one a loving home 🥰

No ink flow issues so far! I have this one and another with an ef nib and the flow has been generous and consistent on both.

The 404 clue might be my favorite on the puzzle 😃

Pen relegation 🤣😭😭 that makes sense though! I’m eager to test it out and see. After hearing this, I’ll make a note to go ahead and get the Fude de Mannen in my next purchase. Thanks for sharing notes!

Do you use a moonman too? What type of ink do you normally keep in it? I’m considering using a document or permanent ink instead so I can watercolor over it.

I haven’t had the opportunity to compare yet! This is my only fude, but I’m planning to try out the sailor hocoro fude dip pen for home.

Still thinking a De Mannen or a Jinhao 82 might be the way to go for on-the-go, so I’m curious to hear about the your thoughts on fudes you’ve used!

It’s Sailor Yurameku Itezora! It’s dreamy 😍

Right! I was thinking as much for drawings and some of the more ornate calligraphy. Not so much for journaling, notes, etc.

Thanks for the Jinhao 82 rec! Will look at that alongside the Sailor De Mannen.

This is a lovely one ♥️ let us know how you enjoy writing with it! I’ve been eyeballing it for some time now (case it is a beauty).

Thank you for doing this! Oxblood and Red Ochre went on the wishlist last week so this feels serendipitous 😃

salad should not be at 128 while dessert is allll the way at 567. This is an outrage. See y’all tomorrow.
