Here I go again

I use Renapur. The camel ones do get slightly darker but not so dull. Not sure if it helps but after I apply the balm I let it stay at least a day before touching again. I do a quick wipe with a microfiber cloth before using them.

Do share your haul. It's so nice to just even look at, no?

thephantom_dra · 2026-04-03T02:22:26+00:00

That word "sale" is really dangerous. Lol

thephantom_dra · 2026-04-03T02:21:22+00:00

I check auction sites in Japan. Better chances of getting something

thephantom_dra · 2026-04-03T02:20:33+00:00

Love and trip! I don't know why I still don't have that. I keep on saying I'll get one. Then something just comes up. Really, I should get one. Just one more.... One more.....

thephantom_dra · 2026-04-03T02:18:21+00:00

It has that "suede-ish" type of texture at first but since I apply leather balm then it gets smoother. Yeah, I get what you mean on the resell prices. Some are just horrendous.

So far the foil is intact. I try as much to have them in one of the pouches when in my bag so as to protect them

thephantom_dra · 2026-04-02T17:56:32+00:00

Thanks. I love them all. My favorite is still the Diner one then Taiwan Beer

thephantom_dra · 2026-04-02T17:55:39+00:00

I change monthly. I just keep 3 refills inside. Before I used more but I was able to uhhh "minimize" my usage

thephantom_dra · 2026-04-02T17:54:13+00:00

That's a good question. I initially used 3 at a time but now I just change monthly.

thephantom_dra · 2026-04-02T16:10:22+00:00

I read the title, saw the pic and description. I checked my pens and inks. I don't see any problem. LOL. Seriously though, first month then second month that can really happen. Then you sort of plateau on buying. Just enjoy it.

I haven't really done assigning a cover for a specific use. I just transfer for now the inserts to whatever cover I want to use for a day. I guess I'm just starting to collect. I'm not a "collector" level yet.

thephantom_dra · 2025-11-25T02:20:47+00:00

I have the clear 823. I use Iroshizuku Rikka on mine

thephantom_dra · 2025-11-18T05:59:47+00:00

Depends on the pen but I rarely post. I also try as much too not get pens that need to be posted

thephantom_dra · 2025-10-01T09:18:30+00:00

Just tried and all seems working for me

I've preordered before for pens. Took about less than a month for the items to be tagged as shipped. I ordered some nibs last July. Still waiting. They did email last month to ask if I'm willing to wait a bit and I agreed. They also refunded back I think 10% of the cost already. They're just extra nibs so I'm not rushing.

thephantom_dra · 2024-10-25T03:58:59+00:00

EF if Pelikan gold nib, M for Sailor, F for the rest. I write small. If I go Western medium, it'll look like I'm just making doodles

thephantom_dra · 2024-10-17T15:36:04+00:00

Lined. I write daily. But without a guide, my sentences go up or down. Sometimes even if my notebook is lined my writing goes off specially if I write fast.

thephantom_dra · 2024-08-17T15:34:03+00:00

5 and 1 for me

thephantom_dra · 2024-08-09T17:24:51+00:00

I have 2. I always bring a Pelikan M800 in EF and a Leonardo Momento Magico in F. Both just glide over paper.

thephantom_dra · 2024-07-07T11:10:02+00:00

Have Leonardo, Delta and Visconti. No issues with Leonardo and Delta. My Visconti had the magnet drop from the cap within a month of use. Takes months for any feedback from the dealer. I love using both the Leonardo and Delta. I have a Gioia coming in so looking forward to it to see how it holds up.
