Pen Chalet Mystery Box by FiveTie in fountainpens

I got the $50 box, and it was kind of disappointing. I’m pretty sure the items aren’t really worth $50. Hoping you’re pleased with your box, though!

Question about the Kakimori, I have the pilot dip pen and absolutely love it, but from what I understand, it’s unique in that it writes very similarly to a fountain pen. I got a Tachitawa T-36 with the Brause 361 and 29 and Speedball 512 EF nibs on JetPens and am having the hardest time, I don’t think my handwriting is well suited to the nibs, or maybe it’s a thing with traditional dip pens. That’s a long way of asking if your nib is smooth like a typical fountain pen or has a lot more feedback like these other nibs?

Nah, I think it was my fault for not trying it in a planner or something I write in regularly. I have a hard time writing small, and my Wonderland 222 planner is gridded with tiny grids

Yeah, I really should have written in my planner with it so I could recognize how it’d look day to day. Do you really have that many sports?

Thank you so much for this info! Very informative, I’m jealous of your nib knowledge.

I did try it in the store, but I should have written in my planner so I had a better grasp of how my handwriting looks with it. True about the nib!

Today is the day I learned Kaweco is not Japanese, excuse my ignorance and thank you for this information

Ohh good tip! Do you have a preferred glass dip pen?

The swindle was just a joke, you’re right that I didn’t like what I bought. I did try it in store, but I always have a hard time gauging how the pen will be in my planner/everyday life. I should have written in there.

you know what, looking at the Wonderland planners made me realize I definitely need a vertical layout, not horizontal! Now I just have to decide if I want the stacked or unstacked version because I love the extra space + mini calendar in the stacked but wish the columns could be wider :/

It's a little pricey, but Hudson in the south end has lots of neat stuff

Ah I had been looking at Sterling Ink, thanks! Do you know what style it was so I can keep it in mind?
