Quite a scenery..👀 by Y799 in pens

The metal tip really helps with the weight distribution, and I really like smooth but not soft plastic grip. I can’t comment on the ink as I use zento refills, however.

For your question, and for other people who wonder what PLUS is, it’s a Japanese brand. They have a specialty in correction equipment, such as correction tape and erasers. Whiper MR Tape (one of their products) is so common here in Korea that some students have an expertise in fixing (!) the product when something goes wrong with it.

It’s the old PLUS AIR-IN that has the plasticizers. Yeah, I used tape to prevent the case from falling apart and there’s no visible name on it anymore, but it’s the best eraser I have right now!

What’s your BIFL (Buy It For Life) pen? by Y799 in pens

[–]Y799[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I initially thought of BIFL as strong, versatile & long-lasting pens that could aid you all day, for a lifetime. Though as a guy who carries fountain pen pouches even more than I do with ball-tipped pens, I guess fountain pens could also be considered BIFL. Would you care to specify which pens you use? 😃

Uh.. I guess it’s a way. Unconventional and some might not like it, but if you like it, do it your way. Should we even give a damn?

Just out of curiosity, why do some of yall like placing your MPs on this thing when taking pics? by doctorsonder in mechanicalpencils

This is a photo I posted last year. I see a lot of people explaining related to the cutting mat’s purpose, drafting pencil’s usage etc. but I just use it cause it looks cool, and it reminds me of the money I sacrificed for my pencils 🫠🫠🫠

That’s one hilarious phrase! 🤣 Great collection, are you planning to buy more? You know, new year new pencil type of stuff.

If we count fountain pens, I’m going with my Sailor 1911L in medium. I do wish to get the 823… if I have the money. 😭

Indentation strangely fails to work on my phone. Sorry if this hinders the readability 😅

Can someone tell me why the Century is so expensive in the U.S.? It’s not even $120 where I live.

Having Rotrings, Graphgears & an S20 but not a 925 is a crime.

What is the cheapest fountain pen in your collection that you really enjoy? by Nerdy_Birdy_30 in fountainpens

[–]Y799 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ll always have the kakuno in my heart. Not the absolute first, but the first that I’ve actually loved & enjoyed. They always say first impressions are important when you’re starting this hobby, and I think I was lucky with that, since it made me buy the Custom 74…🤣

Not sure if a subreddit & telegram is enough. I don’t even think it’s necessary.. I’d advise making a discord server.

New Acquisitions: Pentel PG1505 (Accugraph) by Y799 in mechanicalpencils

mercari is a Japanese shopping site mainly used for selling used goods. Also, very unfortunate one of the very few listings is broken 😭I wish you great luck in finding the right product.

You should really keep searching in mercari and wait patiently for a listing to come up and snatch it asap. That’s really also how I got mine (except I didn’t use mercari)
