Yes you definitely have a problem, you need more sparks and shimmery shimmers in your collection!

 

In case this question has already been answered, my apologies. But I don’t know how to search for posts within a community. I can search for a community, but not for individual posts. TIA!

At the beginning of every workday I write a to-do list on paper with pen and cross the items out as soon as I’m done with them. I also take notes on paper when I read and review papers, it helps me retain the information better. My phone and my computer screen are often the main source of distraction for me and my notebook helps me keep the focus on the task.

Beautiful pen! Sorry to hear it didn’t work for you.

I find it quite difficult to use, to my great surprise! I’ve recently written a long letter with it and every top of the page it behaved well, wrote smoothly, great line variation. Then by the bottom of every page it would start scratching and skipping. Clearly I somehow must be rotating the pen as I move my hand down the lines but it must be tiny movements because I don’t see any difference myself! Anyway, the stub is much less tolerant to changing angles and rotation compared to a regular round nib.

It looks great! I’ve got a PGS and I have not noticed anything remotely similar to that famous feedback :-) Mine just writes.

Lovely to see TWSBI Iris featured (I hope it is TWSBI :-))

I think it looks similar: https://imgur.com/a/afZteve :-) no idea how they would look next to each other.

It looks like Platinum 3776 Celluloid. At least mine is. It’s made of celluloid and smells nicely (of camphor).

 

Let’s say I’m not very tech-savvy so no idea how to ask for help or what is going on. Since the app got a new look I can’t reply to any posts in the communities I’m subscribed to. A pop up in red appears on the screen and my reply is not submitted. I know this probably sounds unbelievable lame but the pop up shows so high up on the screen that it’s impossible to read the text! What is going on?

 

Do you have any inks that you wanted to buy after reading great reviews that turned out less exciting than expected?

My biggest disappointment is Diamine Skull & Roses. After seeing swatches online I expected a blue ink with a visible red sheen. Unfortunately the sheen is just not there at all, it looks like an average dark blue ink, not even blurple. I'm glad I've only bought the 30 ml bottle.

 

Broad nib and Diamine Communication Breakdown ink. It’s my only Sailor pen. I wish I could write something smart about it but it just writes! The engraving on the nib is a bottle of sake together with a cup and three sakura petals falling into the cup.

 
 

As the title says. I’m looking for orange ink. Not too bright, not too muted, ideally tangerine 🍊 colour but a bit dirty - imagine a tangerine tree growing next to a busy road. Available in Europe.
