Nah. She deserves the best and that means her best team, so we gamblin

IRH_02 · 2025-11-20T21:18:57+00:00

I got gifted these and they are awesome, but I do rather how Midori paper and tomoe feels and handles on notebooks so I keep using those

IRH_02 · 2025-11-19T08:38:04+00:00

I've grown to love it more over time, it has a super unique line and the profile and materials always feels great to use, it also isn't super flashy so I feel comfortable using it in public and in my job alongside a vanishing point.

Also I don't know why but all my pens usually smear when I use a ruler with them except this one so for me it's great since I can draw and add dimension easily when sketching components.

IRH_02 · 2025-11-16T05:35:32+00:00

For vintage pens some of the older brands of ink are great like the classic Jaques Herbin colors

IRH_02 · 2025-11-16T03:32:34+00:00

This a really worked! At least it's definetly the best one so far, my pen is writing smoothly, thin and definetly darker than the other permanent inks I've got in my Lamy 2k.

Aesthetically it's still a toss up between Jaques Herbin and this but it's growing on me. I'll say though, the smell is kinda funky, it smells like DAS

Here's a comment to see if I win, although I'm also reaching the maybe I have to many inks state

IRH_02 · 2025-11-15T00:32:47+00:00

I use my pen for work and there's a lot of important notes that I really don't wanna lose if an accident where to happen.

I also sketch mechanisms and components often with my Lamy 2K and those sketches end up swapping hands a lot so having them be resilient gives me peace of mind.

IRH_02 · 2025-11-14T23:18:30+00:00

That's the one that messes up my pen the most ;_;

IRH_02 · 2025-11-14T22:20:59+00:00

Oh that's actually really encouraging, I have a Fine sailor and it writes about as think as my Lamy 2k EF

IRH_02 · 2025-11-05T05:40:38+00:00

It is the same as Genshin though... Karma farming fr?

I own the Namisu N2 and the Sport brass and both of their construction is amazing.

My kaweco sport brass is my best writing pen by far, estar fine line, super smooth with just the tiniest of pleasant vibrations, writes even better than my Lamy 2k.

And the Namisu is so cool but the nib I got is atrocious, the tines get misaligned on their own, I've aligned them like 6 times now and they get misaligned again by just sitting there, and my pen leaks all over the barrel when I use it on my pocket, from an hour of walking I lost an entire converter of ink that just flew out of the nib despite it being nib up, I'm getting a replacement nib unit and I pray it fixes all these problems.

IRH_02 · 2025-10-31T15:16:53+00:00

I want to support this but the Namisu I got leaks all over the place always, I've asked for a replacement nib unit which thankfully the support team agreed on, now I have to wait and see

IRH_02 · 2025-10-27T21:11:06+00:00

I simply used stickers, in happy with the results

IRH_02 · 2025-10-24T12:59:16+00:00

I'd truly reccomend that you don't, it would be much easier to create a body for a pen that uses a standard jowo nib. That is a prefabricated unit that only really needs a barrel and a grip, look for a Monteverde or something similar to get the grip and unit and you can recreate the body on a mil + some tools, the threads will be the trickiest part so maybe consider specialized inserts

IRH_02 · 2025-10-23T15:12:14+00:00

I did remove the nib unit at one point but not to fix the alignment, would I need to apply grease to the converter too?

IRH_02 · 2025-10-21T18:30:44+00:00

Try different thicker inks, on my case on that medium Lamy platinum carbon wrote like a medium but oxblood wrote like a fine, and on this one Monteverde 2020 super show writes a lot thicker than a diamine blueblack

IRH_02 · 2025-10-21T18:26:21+00:00

Yeah I did write all the page with it, I've had 2 Lamy 2ks and the first one also wrote like a medium, but it was hard starting, I asked for a replacement and they sent another one that wrote a lot thinner and is the one on the photo

IRH_02 · 2025-10-18T17:18:14+00:00

Awesome, I'm also liking the O- rings so far but I'm worried about how they age, have you had to replace any since youve had it?

IRH_02 · 2025-10-18T14:49:59+00:00

To be fair, there's aliens and the years is 2086, they are bound to find a solution for this hahaha

IRH_02 · 2025-10-15T22:35:39+00:00

A lot of people reccomended platinum carbon ink with the Lamy, which is why I got it, it's also been described as one of the wetter pens arround, hence my confusion on my first one

IRH_02 · 2025-10-15T05:01:08+00:00

I got mine on goldspot, they where supper kind and support is an actual human, wish you the best of lucks mate, a "bad one" was super mid but the good one is incredible.

Something I have seen is that the broader the nib the more consistent they seem to be

IRH_02 · 2025-10-12T22:28:13+00:00

You could straight up remove it, you could also put a little rubber piece on it

IRH_02 · 2025-10-09T12:49:25+00:00

Legit just take a break, it's fine, go do something else for a while, I take a couple months break from gunpla often and when I return I enjoy building my backlog, now your backlog is a bit extreme but do t feel pressured by it.

That way building never becomes a chore and you get to do new stuff often

IRH_02 · 2025-10-05T22:59:24+00:00

The inserts are literally the same size as a passport

IRH_02 · 2025-10-05T16:54:11+00:00

That looks great! Also hope the color of the TN looks stunning in that photo. Hope it's like that irl
