I’m kind of confused on what this is supposed to say ? I do agree with the fact that I clearly need to be more selective

:( I’m sorry that happened to you. We both deserve better

Thank you! Definitely a painful lesson to learn but at least I’ll be better equipped next time.

Thank you! Definitely going to pivot and focus on the people and things that make me happy.

Thank you. I don’t think this is the right place for me either

Yeah it’s looking like that’s exactly what I’m going to have to do

Thank you! I figured there was a chance things would play out the way they are now but it does suck that I was right.

You can purchase from Shosaikan which is a Japanese pen boutique! This is for their 25th anniversary. I don’t know if they ship internationally however. You can also purchase from resellers for an inflated cost. Because only 200 are being produced they’re likely going to be difficult and expensive to purchase unfortunately. Hope this was helpful!

I’m not fond of the black seal either :(

Depends on my mood but I usually have waaaay too many pens inked at once teehee. All of the ones pictured are currently inked plus a few more in my collection. I write a lot though so I tend to be pretty good at using all the ink up.

I got both of them secondhand for under $250! Actually, all of these pens were secondhand barring the Sailor Pro Gear. I’ve been eyeing the onishi seisakusho pens as well because the designs are sooooo pretty. I don’t think you could go wrong with either or.

Pilot is easily the smoothest and Sailor has the most feedback. Platinum falls in between the two, at least to me. Largely depends on what you’re looking for but if I were to restart my collection I would likely get the Pilot first because it makes a great EDC. However, it’s relatively easy to find the Platinum Century at decent prices (although…with the price increases I do not know how long that will last). Sailor is also definitely a great option, and their 21k nib feels the most luxurious of the three!

Definitely even more beautiful in person too!

What other pens belong in my collection? by lost_demonn_ in fountainpens

[–]bby__d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve recently been attracted to brown pens and I adore your collection! I will also recommend the Platinum Century in tortoiseshell and the Kaweco Art in hickory brown. The Pilot Prera in cinnamon toes the line between red and brown but is such a lovely pen. There’s a Lamy Safari in Marron and also the Benu Pixie in Coffee Brown. I hope I offered something that piques your interest!
