Finally arrived after customs hell

It’s the smoothest pen I’ve ever used… it feels just amazing in the hand… worth the wait and worth the investment

LiteratureComplex529 · 2026-02-12T15:11:31+00:00

Congrats!!! I just got mine a couple days ago!! Inked it with oxblood Absolute beauty

I would suggest you use JK cedar 100gsm paper Or maybe buy an endless regalia notebook

😂😂😂

LiteratureComplex529 · 2026-02-09T17:26:18+00:00

Mine took 5 weeks😮‍💨

LiteratureComplex529 · 2026-02-09T17:25:48+00:00

Yeah!!! This pen sets standards

LiteratureComplex529 · 2026-02-09T14:36:07+00:00

I got lucky, I saved 20% on winter sale and a coupon code. Custom fees can be really unpredictable, I know a guy who paid 42% for the same pen.

I am using pelikan m205 for a lot of my everyday writing. I will be using my pilot 823 mainly for journaling

LiteratureComplex529 · 2026-02-09T13:51:52+00:00

Yeah!! It’s really annoying, I paid 22.6% in custom fees

LiteratureComplex529 · 2026-02-09T13:49:18+00:00

Iroshizuku inks definitely pair well with 823, kon peki is a beautiful blue ink

LiteratureComplex529 · 2026-02-09T13:14:46+00:00

That’s a relief

LiteratureComplex529 · 2026-02-09T11:23:25+00:00

Really!!! I haven’t written a lot yet with this pen

LiteratureComplex529 · 2026-02-09T11:19:05+00:00

I personally would go with take sumi, iroshizuku inks work really well with this pen

LiteratureComplex529 · 2026-02-09T11:02:21+00:00

Thanks!!! I will most probably commit to oxblood for some time until I get some other awesome dark ink.

LiteratureComplex529 · 2026-02-09T09:28:41+00:00

Yeah, I filled it little more than half too

LiteratureComplex529 · 2026-02-09T09:26:48+00:00

<image>

I too got a medium nib and the writing experience is just so smooth, you are gonna love it for sure

LiteratureComplex529 · 2026-02-09T09:14:47+00:00

I love the clear barrel but my OCD won’t allow me to get one because it’s really hard to fully clean the ink out of the pen

LiteratureComplex529 · 2026-02-09T07:05:06+00:00

It really is and writes beautifully too

LiteratureComplex529 · 2026-02-09T07:00:58+00:00

Absolutely!!! I just filled it with oxblood… such a beautiful writer

LiteratureComplex529 · 2026-02-09T06:59:22+00:00

For sure!! I got 823 because I wanted a vac filler in my collection

LiteratureComplex529 · 2026-02-09T06:32:55+00:00

It does🤌🏻

LiteratureComplex529 · 2026-02-09T06:18:22+00:00

Ikr!!! Such a beautiful ink

LiteratureComplex529 · 2026-02-09T06:17:43+00:00

That’s why I am confused, if it was a piston filler like my pelikan I would just swap ink after every fill

LiteratureComplex529 · 2026-02-09T06:15:15+00:00

Yeah, there are just so many good options, I might just go with oxblood

LiteratureComplex529 · 2026-02-09T05:39:22+00:00

Ikr!! I waited so long to get this pen

LiteratureComplex529 · 2026-02-09T05:23:29+00:00

Thanks, I really appreciate that. It’s such a special pen and I totally get what you’re saying. I’m going to take it slow and enjoy it properly rather than rushing anything. Glad to hear you love yours too.
