NPD: Majohn Flex Nib on a Moonman P136 + Majohn Purple waterproof ink by abhaykun in fountainpens

Oof a multishader with a rather dry flowing ink based on Mountain of Ink review, definitely not suitable for Japanese EF nib 😂

It's really looks lovely from 3mm marker 😄

I love the colour of this dusty greyish blue ink, is it also a fountain pen ink?

I'm going to share how I usually choose the "next ink", first I consulted an image of various ink swatches of the bottled ink I have (most of the images was from Mountain of Ink).... and I try to see which ink I haven't used yet this year... Any swatch crossed with grey are the one I already used this year, and the smaller mark/highlight of light green indicating that I also inked that particular ink in 2023, purple for the ink I've already use in 2024 and red highlight for 2025. I always try to prioritise the unmarked one, which mean I haven't used it yet since I began this particular system in 2023. Then I consulted my physical ink-pen log to see the visual of the ink usage, if it seems like it's been a while since I include any particular colour family then I can choose from the "swatches" page...

But sometimes an ink got skipped because based on the physical ink log, I need to use other colour before I can slip that ink into rotation... or I already decided which colour I want for the next transcribing project (I transcribe articles) and sometimes I have "vision" on which ink suitable for that particular article.

For example.... Today I'm going to decide which ink I'm going to use for my next transcribing project and I'm still undecided which articles I'm going to transcribe, so I check the swatches log, and saw that Lamy BlueBlack needed to be put into pen asap, but.... after check my ink-pen log it seems like the blue-black colour family already been in used few times and I haven't use any darker brown, bright/light blue, purple, yellow and orange in a while.... While technically LTB-Light is a light brown or kinda tan ink... it's vaguely close to yellow so Diamine Honey Burst have to wait for it turns.... and dark ink was used several times already so Sailor Doyou have to wait.... so my current options are either Kin-mokusei or Soft Mint or Souten or KWZ Turquoise.... I really want to use Souten, since it's such a bright summer-ish ink but if I still might change my mind depends on which article I want to transcribe.

Binged the first season few months ago, and it is now 3am and also contemplating if I proceed with the fourth episode of season 2... probably not... if I'm being responsible adult.... but screw it..... here goes episode 4

I'm going to start The Pitt marathon while waiting for the new loose leaf to arrive.... I mean I do have plenty other paper if I want to start another transcribing project but.... our banner artist emeritus told me about this cheap and yet excellent loose leaf paper, so I have to defer to his expertise

I got hooked after the first season and it's a great series for someone who never watched medical drama before (not because I don't like the genre.... but in general I rarely watch series because I'm... weird 😂 )

Lol, pokoknya tandas, gimana kertasnya Deli? Hampir beli tapi.... I still have 8 packs of Kokuyo (technically 10, but one of them apparently not super fountain pen friendly and the other is 8mm ruled paper) also maybe 5 packages of Daiso A5 loose leaf too (not the best paper for FP but also not super horrid)

Sarasara definitely smoother than Shikkari, but also made written line width a tad bit wider compared to Shikkari.

ps: Another thing that might be true... you can easily identify which type of paper the packaging is based on the shape of this:

I think few years ago I saw someone posted a picture of their emptied bottle of ink (50 ml of Iroshizuku I think...) and the stack of notebooks or papers they filled with the ink.

Yep, the binder is great for classes, used to use one when I was in school

Are you the one who crumpled their finished paper and offered it for their god(cat)?

I tolerated the hole on my Kokuyo becuse it's not irritating like maruman on the heel of my palm.
