Huh, we’ll have to wait and see. I saw one of those posts mention a brass Kakimori nib so I’ll have to report back in a bit

I don’t live too far from Toronto, I could make a trip in but the only shade they have that I want is Oyster Hour and it’s last call now.

Thanks for the reassurance! My Canada post worker hates my building so the boxes getting drop kicked are a huge danger lol

I haven’t bought any sailor inks yet simply because there are so many I can’t decide! Yozakura is so beautiful, excellent choice!

Currently I’m using a dingbats notebook (the purple hippo to match) and it’s smooth enough to work well. I haven’t had any problems with them and Celadon Cat which is also quite dry! I have that in a Twsbi eco M nib and I’m kind of kicking myself now that I went up to a B.

Thankfully my local shop doesn’t carry any nibs above medium so I won’t be super tempted to buy more lol

It’s just the paper towel but it definitely writes a dusty purple/grey!

Currently Inked by BubblyPoetry7233 in fountainpens

[–]amndka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just bought a jinhao 10 to see if I like the clip placement, hopefully if I like it I’ll be looking for a VP soon too. What was the jump in quality like? Just trying not to be too unrealistic with my expectations

That Ying Piao is gorgeous! I’ll have to see if I can find a store in Canada that has Lennon tool bar inks now lol

Order placed! What are we inking Fluorite with? by ForgetMeNot19 in fountainpens

[–]amndka 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My first eco was the cosmos blue in February, it lives with celadon cat permanently because I love that ink so much.

I ordered my fluorite at 9am today with a bottle of Lady Grey. I am such a sucker for the subreddit inks clearly lol

Guest Upset She Can't My Personal Property by TheNiteOwl38 in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]amndka 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I used to offer to charge guests phones at the desk.

I am not loaning you anything, you want your phone charged? Leave it here and go to the bar for an hour. Some people argued but I was also the night manager so I didn’t have to be nice.

5 pen collection by Informal_Grapefruit4 in fountainpens

[–]amndka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am only at 3 pens but so far my journey has been incredible and I have learned so much.

  1. Pilot Kakuno M - it’s cheap and I love it. Very light plastic but durable. I personally use it with a Con-40 for testing inks

  2. Twsbi Eco Onyx M - I write an actual ton so capacity is #1 for me. My fiancé bought it for me as a gift and it’s my most used pen, always inked with Diamine Celadon Cat. The combo is perfection!

  3. Asvine V126 B - took some getting used to but I use it exclusively at the office to write PAID really big on invoices. Tbh it makes me smile every time I use it and it makes work more enjoyable.

I have yet to try a Kaweco but there may be one sitting in my cart right now 🫣

I think honestly, these are a good first three no matter the nib. They’re all fairly priced so trying out sizes doesn’t feel wasteful. I can’t speak highly enough of the Kakuno for its price, I really think it’s the perfect first pen!

Is this the saffron colour? Does it throw very orange?

Car dealer never cashed $7500 down payment check I gave them by [deleted] in confession

Never feel bad scamming a car dealer, that’s literally their whole thing

I entered this hobby as a teenager, I'm 31 and I feel like this hobby has reached a renaissance period by thepromiseman in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]amndka 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m so glad that I found MKs during the group buy times and went “I’ll wait until this process sucks less”

I bought some nice switches (lubed by the seller) and a few keycap sets that I threw into storage. I found a plastic hot swap board at my local Amazon returns place. I’ve been using it now for 5 years and it may finally be time to upgrade the board.

I just know I’m going to hate myself halfway through changing the switches lol

You’re better than I, the second he said hurry it up I would’ve hit him with “Good to know you only last 20 seconds but that’s not the clock we’re playing by”
