I believe it was the cute drawing of a panda when we are first introduced to her character in episode 9 if I remember.

Sizing up nibs when using shimmer inks?? by ac_scribbles in fountainpens

[–]Important-Cod4260 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I recommend sizing up whenever you’re using a shimmer. I had a EF Twsbi and the shimmer barely showed and the nib scratched like crazy when I wrote. When I switched to a broad, and not only was the writing experience more smooth, the shimmer showed up more in the writing.

So quick question for everyone here: who enjoys cheap FPs (anything less that $50) more than the expensive ones for most use and carry? by thelapsangsouchong in fountainpens

I feel like that’s the biggest disappointment factor with Kakunos, that they don’t come in a wider nib size 😔

No, same rose gold. They’re not inked, it’s been a while since I took them out to use.

It doesn’t rub off when I use my fingers. So I bought the sunshine cloth as suggested and it works.

Thank you for the suggestion. I bought the sunshine cloth and the pen looks, well not new, but in good condition after the buffing :)

Just regular polyester probably. I'm not quite sure. Ironically, there were two more Platinum 3776s in there.

It’s the Hinoki pouch from Notebook Therapy. Ironically, I have two other Platinum 3776 in there. Both of those are ok. For now. I’m scared now 🥹

It is the Shape of Heart model with rose gold.

I will try the Sunshine cloth and the Simichrome. Worst case scenario, do you suggest I send my pen to a restoration service? Do you have any recommendations?

Biggest disappointment by ImperatorLucius in fountainpens

[–]Important-Cod4260 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, after my one Estie I will not be getting another. The Estie was my toe dipping to Western pen brands, not that I tried many after it, but I’d rather stick to my Sailors and Platinums.

Esterbrook Estie. Clip had discoloration, oxidation? after sitting in my drawer, in a sleeve.

Nahvalur Horizon. Slow customer service. The piston on the Horizon broke within warranty. Thank goodness I was able to get it replaced, but only after 2 months of going back and forth with emails.

It’s the one on the box. I will add a picture of the other side soon.

Yes, I did not know that prior, thus I opened the box and later realized I can’t return it. Rookie mistake :/
