    Love these inks. I wish Pilot would sell the small 20mL bottles separately.

    @inksplat Sorry about your nib! How annoying!!! I use the *f* word when I encounter a jacked nib, which has happened with three of my Pelikans: the M605 green and white and two M800s. The M605 was so bad I had to send it in for warranty work, and I ended up just buying replacement nibs for the other two, so they ended up being af pricey pens. For a long time, several years in fact, I really hated Pelikans and the way they write because of that, but I finally got a great replacement for my green and black M800, and I found one ink that works well in it for me, so now it is finally in my regular rotation, and I love it. The only Pelikan I have that wrote well out of the box was my red and black M600 fine or extra fine (can't remember), which is odd because I am a broad or double broad by nature, so it was surprising to me that I liked how that one wrote from the git.
    I love Iroshizuku inks, and Yu-Yake, Murasaki Shikibu, and Tsukushi were my first bottled inks, along with two Akkermans and two Kobe inks. The Kobe inks came from Japan before they were available in the states, and they took months to get here, and the price I paid for them was highway robbery, but all are among my favorite inks.
    I've got the Asa-Gao and Ajisai, but not the other blue. I've never used them or even swatched them yet, so I can relate to not using them but collecting them though I’ve decided against trying to collect all the Iroshizukus because I am fighting a losing storage battle here (and I don’t even have 1/100th of your inks). It's a good thing we have Maria to actually use the blues. 😉
    edit: Oh, and gorgeous pen!!!! 😍
    No pressure, but I am soooo happy you are able to film again!! Hope you are well.

    I really like AjiSai, it matches one of my pens perfectly! I think the end of the converter is rose gold because the end finial is actually a blind cap so you can fill your converter without taking the whole body off...but I have never owned a Leonardo so I'm not 💯. Very beautiful pen indeed, hope you can fix the scratchyness

    Asa-gao is my favorite of these 3! I'm writing quite a lot with this ink these days!
    I'm nervous about which inks Pilot will discontinue since so many of them are my favorites!!

      I'm really enjoying Asa-gao in the new TWSBI Iceberg. I'm not sure why I ignored this ink so much, but it's been lovely to use!! I'm also concerned about which inks they're going to discontinue - hopefully none of the beloved favorites!

    The great thing about these jowo elastic fine nibs are they are stiff enough that if you dont want you you dont have to flex them and you get a perfectly fine line no effort needed but when you dont to put a little flex you can put the effort into flexing it out ever so slightly to get that swell nice :)

    Hard to get any flex (very stiff nib), very dry nib! I’ll take it to SF Pen Show.

      oh that's a bummer! I got my nib more or less where I wanted it, but I do have to purposely flex it if I want to. I don't mind that though, I mostly use it just like a normal nib. I'm sorry you're not happy with your pen though! Hopefully they can make it to your liking at the show!

    @MissMarilynDarling 26 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

    I look at nib with a loupe and what ever tine is more toward the feed I leave it alone but I try to use my nail to push the nib tine that is further away toward the one closer to the feed I dont know if that made sense but sometimes i just turn the pen upside down and press it on the desk untill their both aligned and some times one good flex will put them back in alignment :)

    My favorite blue is 'Tono & Lims GN TYPE-E' but that was a limited edition, and Asa-Gao is veeery close in color.

    I recently acquired glitter highlighters, and waterfastness has suddenly become important to me. Because I will now look for excuses to highlight every word I write. If anyone has faced this crisis, please respond to tell me favorite inks to use with highlighters.

    • @inksplat
      @inksplat  17 วันที่ผ่านมา

      glitter highlighters sound fun! one of the things i like to do when I know I'm going to use highlighters is highlight the section and then write over it once it's dry. probably doesn't work very well if you're in a hurry, but I do that in my planner a lot so I don't smear whatever ink i'm using (for fountain pen and gel pens alike)

    I bought the Leonardo Angel Skin in rose gold when it first launched. Its my second Leonardo. I bought the extra fine. Leonardos are my fave pen ATM. But I do own flex nib on one of my Esterbrook. I like it. Bit thicker line then I typically like but its nice. Btw.. just used your discount code at Atlas this afternoon. Im glad i remembered to use it this time.😊

    • @inksplat
      @inksplat  26 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I missed out on the first launch so when I saw it again, it was really hard to resist. 😂 I haven’t tried the Esterbrook version, but I’m sure it’s probably similar. Thanks so much for using the code! Enjoy your goodies 🤩

    The pen is beautiful - I am not into blue ink either. I finally bought the iroshizuku inks I love - all the greens, the purple, the greys & I still need Yama budo (it was sold out)
    It honestly sucks that such an expensive pen can come with a faulty nib & we just accept it. I know we have to, it is wrong though!
