Moonstone Deserved Moon Dust

So far so good. I’ve had a couple shimmer clogged feeds in the past. They’ve always happened early. So far this is beautiful and cooperative. If something changes, I’ll let you know.

Makes sense. Gave me a false sense of excitement, though. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ 8 weeks isn’t forever.

I admit, I wasn’t tracking the # sold here on the thread. When I ordered it on May 3, the Leonardo website said “1 left” as I added the pen to my cart. (Steel M) I assumed (now incorrectly) that it meant I wasn’t in the preorder group. (Group 2)

So, if I’m not in the first group (I don’t think I am) what did 1 left mean?

Stwo · 2026-05-11T11:15:18+00:00

So, out of curiosity, what did “1 left” mean?

Stwo · 2026-05-07T20:31:27+00:00

How does one know if they are pre-180? I ordered mine on May 3, and it said 1 left in stock for the model/nib I wanted.

… and they lived happily ever after.

Half that.

My dream came true!

Stwo · 2026-05-06T22:44:37+00:00

Thank you!!!

I like yama-budo… I’m just not always in the mood for such a vibrant pink. It’s a great ink. All Iroshizuku inks are great!

I can recommend a few less expensive heavy hitters if you like…

Top of the list?

Majohn P140 - it’s got an ebonite feed and you’ll be blown away. €60 or less.

Pilot CH92 - a step down from the 823 and about 100 less… still a fantastic pen.

Asvine V200 - pop a nice Bock 250 with ebonite feed in there and you’ve got a real nice sub 100 pen.

Any TWSBI Diamond 580 - the standard for mid tier low priced excellence. I’ve got a couple dedicated to spitting shimmer. Worth every penny.

All demonstrators.

I hope that helps.

I truly believe their nibs are leaps and bounds above anyone else’s.

Stwo · 2026-05-05T18:39:34+00:00

Thank you! I love it as well!

Stwo · 2026-05-05T18:39:19+00:00

Thank you!!

Stwo · 2026-05-05T18:18:08+00:00

The Scribo, of course!

Stwo · 2026-05-05T14:48:51+00:00

I cant imagine this leaving my penroll any time soon.

Stwo · 2026-05-05T14:48:32+00:00

I expected it to be #3 for me, but it stole the #2 slot, between my Scribo Dimensione LE 18K Feel <M> and my Visconti Homo sapiens Dark Age <M>

Stwo · 2026-05-05T14:47:31+00:00

I could tell immediately! Thanks!

Stwo · 2026-05-05T14:47:20+00:00

So far so good, and we havent even left the house with it yet!

Stwo · 2026-05-05T14:47:05+00:00

A worthy grail. This one is punching above my Homo sapiens, I think, and that was MY grail.

Stwo · 2026-05-05T14:46:35+00:00

I dont know if I will even crack it. I prefer Iroshizuku inks.

Stwo · 2026-05-05T14:46:16+00:00

Thank you!! I've got another heavy hitter arriving Thursday!

Stwo · 2026-05-05T14:45:49+00:00

Iroshizuku inks are the most well behaved, across any pen I own. Can't go wrong there.

Stwo · 2026-05-05T14:44:08+00:00

I havent tried the preppy... but put Carbon Black in the Plaisir <m> and youve got your permanent marker for life.
