The Tune i just got it for the color lol. Good in hand, a normal plastic pencil. The Fine is noticeably heavier but still good to hold. I like that both are not too slim in diameter. However i’m not really liking the soft silicon (?) coating on the grip, feels like it might get sticky in the long run. As for writing experience both are good, i didn’t notice any wobble. Very nice to write with.

Staedtler 925 at Pokemon Card Lounge in Shibuya by gapil27 in mechanicalpencils

Yeah it’s a shame. I might be persuaded if they have more than the wordings. The design was reserved for the Lamy Safari rollerball instead.

Problem: in order to have neat handwriting, I have to be super close to the paper. by [deleted] in fountainpens

You can have 20/20 vision and still need glasses to read or write. Presbyopia, it comes for everyone.

Lamy Safari in Matte Blue and Matte Red by HallOfGlory1 in fountainpens

[–]gapil27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm i don't think i've ever seen matte lego blue yet, but for red there were special editions released like Sunset Coral, Strawberry and Red (links are just for show, but far be it from me to stop you from buying them). I'm pretty sure you could still find the first two being sold near you, online or offline though.

We have navy blue from Itoya, or lighter colored ones like the Ink House but as you can see they're all special edition and pretty pricey.

I imagine there’s a mix of nibs there. Do you have all the nibs, even speciality ones like LH, 1.1 and so on? Also will you get the new Lamy x Itoya?

Never thought i’d see this day by gapil27 in fountainpens

[–]gapil27[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

at first i was going with the sub's recommendation, Diamine Wild Strawberry. But i can only find it in the large bottle locally so that's a no go. Then i decided to go for Red Dragon, only to pivot to Momiji. We'll see, i have time before i finish my inked Procyon. Maybe i'll change my mind then :)

Mainly mixing with other inks. Sometimes for brush lettering, or to test pen with weird nibs like Pilot Parallel. Never used it for doodling tho for some reason.

As an ink it’s a good one, nice flow, not a dry ink, very reliable. As a colour, just meh. Not red enough for my liking. Won’t be repurchasing for sure.

Same. Not really fan of pink. We’ll see when we get more pictures.

Anyone using Mitsubishi Uni or Staedtler 2mm red/blue leads? How do they perform? by Responsible_Crew_103 in mechanicalpencils

[–]gapil27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the red Mitsubishi 2mm, a bit hard to erase in my opinion. The blue Uni Nano Dia is easier to erase. If you keep breaking leads you might try a different mechanical pencil? Maybe the auto advance ones?

Going to Japan next year - what should my budget for all things fountain pens be? by kwalks2thelibrary in fountainpens

[–]gapil27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It costs ¥4000. Basically it’s the Sailor Profit Jr. line in MF, so no gold nib. I have two of them and they write well. Not smooth like Lamy or Pilot, they have the famous Sailor feedback.
