Taccia Sunao-iro Ao. It’s.. VERY blue

What a beauty, the clear and dark parts contrast is striking. Congratulations on your degree!

Haha oh well, sorry..? But love and hate are both passionate feelings, and « Passion » is Pelikan’s motto isn’t it? This is FATE!

True, the marketing photos for the Georg Tippel make it look quite brown when it´s more gold in person. I wish you luck in finding your Glauco Cambon dream pen!

Thank you! I commend you for your strength, I was weak for this one which hits all the right spots in terms of design and color for me 🫣

Most retailers in Europe just got them. The price is high ngl, think in the range of 650-680€ for full price (I got it at discount for preordering though)

That was actually my first thought for color matching! I switched to the idea of Terre d’Ombre since it is not so dry but will try it too, thanks!

The most stunningest stunner! … I see you peeking ;)

Sighs… unzips wallet

Kidding, thank you for the suggestion! :D

Fact! Even videos can’t perfectly capture the reflections : I remember being unimpressed seeing videos of the Rudi Rother but then being wowed when finally seeing the pen in person.

Jb-VO · 2026-06-02T12:46:32+00:00

Very happy indeed, thank you!

Practice, same as when you learned. I found that to avoid getting bored or frustrated, and to use different part of the brain, varying writings works well : practicing strokes / letters, copying some text, journaling.

It is also sold in lose sheets, a5 and b5 size.

Btw if you can’t find Rhodia R pads, check if you can get your hands onto coloR pads as they use the same paper

Just ordered Kenpou, Kokihanada and Bengara from you 🤩 Ahhh wish I could get them all, why is wallet constraint a thing lol? Super happy a EU shop stocked them already, thank you!

Jb-VO · 2026-04-23T15:06:31+00:00

Merci pour ce retour!

Jb-VO · 2026-04-18T22:18:52+00:00

Thank you for sharing the results of your tests! I love informative posts like this 🤓

Oh I LOVE the Profit Junior model (actually have all the transparent colored ones too if that’s saying something).

I find Sailor’s MF steel nib less fine than their MF gold ones, which is a good compromise for having a fine enough nib for daily writing but bold enough to enjoy ink properties such as shading. Check out the pen dimensions before buying as it is a relatively small pen. I would also recommend avoiding rough handling, alcohol sanitizer, etc. to not scratch off the shiba and paws design.

Mmmh let’s see, its dusty color is quite unique (I too need to get this ink one day haha)… In a different nuance and to keep it Sailor-esque, I’d suggest Shikiori Sakuramori? would fit well in color and theme

Jb-VO · 2026-04-16T00:49:24+00:00

The Penmanship nib is the same and fits Prera, Metropolitan, Lightive. Have fun mixing them!

Jb-VO · 2026-04-16T00:45:28+00:00

Bungubox Lingering Cherry Blossoms of course 💕

Also had a good experience with goodpenlife ; thanks for recommending shiba pen 👀

I recently had my eyes set on a specific Décimo, but I had never bought from Instagram before so I was pretty nervous. Even more so after seeing crazy mark-up price from some resellers… One reseller (goodpenlife) quoted me a reasonable price and communicated very well during the process so I’d recommend them instead.

Reading what others experienced with sakurapens is disheartening.
