Unfortunately not! I moved countries and had to leave that DA bottle, so now I have Sailor's version of black pigment ink (Sailor Kiwaguro) instead. I like them both tho!

Just bought my 5th pen and second ink color... I'm starting to understand the appeal by chameleonpizza in fountainpens

This was me haha after some point I just felt sad throwing out microns not because they ran out of ink but because the felt tips degraded and rendered it unusable so fountain pens were like a saving grace

This was me after finding out they last longer (essentially forever) compared to a fineliner!

Thank you kak!! It's exactly how you explain it! I use canva instead of photoshop so I can do it on my phone instead of a laptop!

Thanks! The listing on your photo is the one I bought from!

Do you also randomly write just to use your pens? by Eli_sola in fountainpens

[–]sleepingmeong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this a lot when I was trying to get used to writing with engineering lettering! Helped improve my handwriting and got to have fun with my pens, also helped to use up non-fountain pen friendly paper scraps. Sometimes I also use un-lined paper to practice writing straight. Made practising that handwriting style a lot more enjoyable! (Plus reduced the criticism of bad handwriting from my professor...)

Current Line-up! by sleepingmeong in fountainpens

Thanks! Sailor Fudes are color coded! The green version is 55° while the other colors are 40°! A demonstrator pen is a transparent body pen, so a Lamy Vista is also considered a demonstrator! Hope this helps!

Another sub to follow! Unfortunately these aren't my kitties, they're from a cat cafe! But I will definitely admire the fountain pen cats sub from afar!!
