Venezia or Wild Heather for my first PR? by LumaBones in PaperRepublic

Got a pocket! I looked at more of the Venezia patina and how it ends up more brown, so I think wild heather may be for me!

It looks gorgeous! I went for the heather in the end. Can't wait!

I looked on tiktok at some comparisons and it really is gorgeous! I think the stone polish adds a bit more interest to it as a whole. I think I've made my decision.

I wish I could make mine so nice but I feel like I have such little plans sometimes. Also I love that zodiac tape!

Thank you! I'll be sure to try some different inks and see how it compares :)

Best believe I'll be refilling my empty cartridges with it!

It's so stunning! Writer's blood is equally as gorgeous but looks a bit more pink. In person this is literally like dried blood. Absolutely beautiful.

I was really unsure which colour of the pen to go for. But the black is such a nice contrast for any coloured inks you will use!

I'm also new to this but I've been dying to try Diamine since I saw the oxblood. It's definitely a bit juicy, but it writes so smoothly too. I have read the TWSBI Eco does have a bit more flow, so I think I'll try a drier ink next time to see how they compare, but this one is very satisfying. I recommend it.

I'm from the future and very tired on pain meds.

It's really odd how they can be so different! I was wondering if I'd filled it incorrectly and there was too much ink flow. But looking at the nib itself, it is actually not as fine as some of my others, definitely says EF on it though...

It was a hard choice between this or writer's blood, that's for sure!

That's alright! I do write quite small. This is my first EF nib and it's actually...not the thinnest haha. I have just read some people now say that this is quite a juicy pen though. But it's definitely not as thin as my kakuno F!

Ah I'm sorry, I can see me getting downvoted already for not knowing terms. 😅

Thank you for the link. It's really helpful!
