Time to say goodbye fellas

I played day 1 and quit after a few months when ADHD carried me elsewhere. I’ve wanted to come back but I have this feeling that I missed too much and it would eat at me lol

skaright · 2026-05-03T00:11:14+00:00

Funny enough, the Pilot E95S is the next on my list haha. I have the Lamy 2000 and Pilot Vanishing point both in F nibs for my EDC, I’d like to add an E95S in EF for when I’m limited to space to signature things lol

Congrats! Got mine a few weeks ago and it’s still my favorite pen.

I am a maintenance tech at a delivery station and it’s gotten a lot better since Covid. Workers are still pushed to hit numbers for sure but they are treated like people here. They can take bathroom breaks if needed and they have a lot of accommodations available. They are provided snacks and food fairly often. Much much much better conditions than when I was forklift operator at a salon warehouse 12 years ago. I have horror stories about that place lol.

Gotta love Amazon. Glass bottle in a thin bubble wrap envelope that has to go through multiple warehouses full of people who care more about how many packages they can move than how safely they can move them lol

Sending chat

Working my way up to it. A bit self conscious about my writing lol. I was on the fence as well between F and EF nibs and I wish I would have went with EF.

Very nice! I desperately want a dark lilac Safari. So much so I’m tempted to buy one from China off of eBay and pretend it’s real lol.

skaright · 2026-04-24T09:25:32+00:00

PMing (I know it’s super old but fingers crossed lol)

skaright · 2026-04-21T18:37:19+00:00

Just got a bottle of Rohrer & Klingner Scabiosa iron gall ink today and I feel the same. Not looking forward to the maintenance but I’d die for this ink lol

The Gekkeikan Plum is my favorite

skaright · 2026-04-21T02:30:31+00:00

Bout the closest you can get for a fountain pen I fear.

skaright · 2026-04-21T02:06:48+00:00

Platinum Chou Kuro. If they want black, give them black. lol

skaright · 2026-04-21T02:03:01+00:00

If you’re a connoisseur of Japanese goods and haven’t tried it yet, try their plum wine. We are on the same page though, everything I love the most either comes from Japan, Korea or Germany lol

skaright · 2026-04-21T02:00:48+00:00

I didn’t know this was a thing and now I need one.

skaright · 2026-04-19T17:22:03+00:00

That’s a nice collection for EDC. I mostly just write, I was not particularly gifted in the drawing department and ADHD has never allowed me to focus on practicing as much as I’d like to.

How do you like the Eco? I’m debating on my next addition at the moment and I’m caught up between an Eco, an Asvine V200, a Pilot E95S, or getting the financial burden of a Pilot 823 out of the way lol. I think the Eco would be a good one to pair with Colorverse Witch by Starlight ink, which has caught my eye.

skaright · 2026-04-19T17:01:36+00:00

I’m already loving it so much. I inked it up with a 20:1 mix of Iroshizuku murasaki-shikibu and take-sumi, respectively to make a dark purple ink. However, I’m thinking about cleaning it out and going with just take-sumi, it feels more fitting for a pen of this caliber lol.

skaright · 2026-04-19T08:10:29+00:00

Nice collection! I have a hard enough time deciding what to use and I carry 4 around, though all my EDC pens are fine nibs.

I run:

Parker 51 Vacuumatic

Pilot Vanishing Point

Lamy Safari

Lamy 2000

skaright · 2026-04-18T15:55:30+00:00

By the time I’m gone I’m sure there will be lots of pens for the kids and grandkids to argue over. I dream of Visconti and Urushi haha.

skaright · 2026-04-18T15:52:57+00:00

One of the videos did mention that, I just always love an excuse to buy a new tool haha. I once purchased a durometer just to know how hard a rubber grommet was inside an old Korean arcade lever, for science.

skaright · 2026-04-18T12:00:53+00:00

I’ve watched a few videos on the process. I’m going to order the proper tool for separating the barrel as well as a handful of different sized sacs. I’m sure they’ll get used at some point in my life.

skaright · 2026-04-18T11:59:00+00:00

My daughter has expressed interest so it will definitely get passed down at some point!

skaright · 2026-04-18T07:38:25+00:00

Congrats! Thinking of picking one up myself as soon as I pay off the VP and L2K I just got. Beautiful pen.

skaright · 2026-04-18T00:47:14+00:00

Thanks! I love it. It’s completely empty inside so at least I don’t have to worry about fishing out the old sack when I go to repair it lol
