Delicate - that's what this pen is. Love the description.
Hi Manda!
Im glad to see your video! I like the blurple
Love these inks. I wish Pilot would sell the small 20mL bottles separately.
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 :)
@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.
That's a beautiful pen!
It really is!
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
Ps I have a class on my youtube playlist called fountain pen calligraphy 101 if anyone is interested in learning how to use the flex pens to do Beautiful Calligraphic writing with a fountain pen :)
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!
And you used my favorite ink (so far!) for the first inking
I don't need a bottle of this ink, I don't need a bottle of this ink, I don't need a bottle of this ink... lol.
My Momento Zero Angel Skin (rose gold trim) medium nib arrived last week. It’s such a gorgeous pen! I’m going to ink it with J. Herbin Rouille d’Ancre.
oooh amazing, I hope you're loving it!!
Good luck on the nib fix! I just had to mess with a couple of my pens recently. Uggghhh. And I like the bloooooos! 😹✒️💙👼💙🖋
I have the Leonardo mostly where I want it but I haven't messed with the Pelikan yet. I'm too sad to look at it, because I waited so long for it, and then it was a bummer out of the box. lol.
"Hi everybody it's bolt paper!"
Just once for the confusing giggles 😂
lol! ⚡📃
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 :)
I really like Asa-gao (morning glory).
It's lovely!
We have the same pen! (Rose gold and elastic fine!)
PEN TWINS! :D I'm actually using it today, after adjusting the nib a bit, and I really like it!!
Asa-Gao is my go-to standard blue.
My favorite blue is 'Tono & Lims GN TYPE-E' but that was a limited edition, and Asa-Gao is veeery close in color.
I feel like Tono & Lims is so underrated. lol. So many good inks. I've been using Asa-gao ain the new TWSBI and it's lovely!!
Hey doll - congrats on completing the PI collection! Such a pretty pen. Sucks when you have to mess with a new pen but hopefully it's a quick fix.💜💜💜
Love Pilot inks!
I have a XF flex steel nib (Leonardo), I don’t like it.
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!
@@inksplat I’ll get fix at the show or I’ll buy a rose gold steel nib. Leonardo will there, it’ll be easy to buy. The flex for me, it’s to hard to flex on the steel nib I received.
Pretty pen, hopefully the nib is an easy fix. Asa gao with a bit of take sumi makes a beautiful blue black
oooh, I"ll try the ink mix! A little bit of take-sumi makes everything better (probably). I'm hoping the nib will be an easy fix - I just haven't taken the time to do it yet!
@@inksplat 100% take sumi makes everything better!
What a beautiful pen!
I love Aji-Sai! We have a bottle of Kon-Peki because I do think it's a very nice blue.
Congrats on the new pen! I was thinking of selling my little bottle of Asa Gao, but I'll hang onto it for possible mixing.
I just used your discount code.
thank you SO much!! :) I hope you enjoy your items!!
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.😊
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 🤩
A penpal told me about Ajisai. I just inked up my sample and I really like it. If they discontinue it I might get a botlle
I hope it’s not one that’s being discontinued!
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.
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)
Hey, can you show us how you fix the nib problem? I think we all have problems like this from time to time.
I don’t know if my doing a video on this will do it justice because I’m going to have to look up a video myself! 😂
I love asa gao and ajisai. I'm told 3 inks will be retired this year and 3 new ones are coming.
that's what I heard as well, but not sure what's going. :(
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!
Agreeeeeed about the nib issues. Wouldn't be ok if it was something else, but a fountain pen we just shrug and move on. At least it should be an easy fix
I’ve been thinking about this pen… kinda. That’s sad to hear the nib needs to be adjusted :/
If you end up with one, hopefully you have a better experience! it's mostly adjusted where I'd like it - could use a tiny bit of tweaking but it writes much better now.
I will cry if they discontinue Ajisai; it's my favorite ink.😭I really like the Leonardo steel elastic fine nib, because I can still write normally and just add a lil flex if I want to. Sorry yours is off though! That's always a bummer.
I have no idea what they would discontinue! Some of the teal/green ones (like the newest one, I didn't think that was needed?), but who knows! Yeah, I have a few pens to work on the nibs for misaligned tines, so super disappointing.
I have no idea why I never figured you for a Momento Zero. i am sad about your VP Galaxy. It's raden right/.,
I like 'em but I also don't like 'em. I am also so sad about my VP :( It is the Raden Galaxy, and I keep hoping I'll find it safe and sound in a bag in the closet somewhere, but it has yet to happen.
