The Pens of November 17th, 2020

Not going out again, so just two pens. These should look very similar to each other, why? Because they are nearly the same model pen! Both are PenBBS 355’s, and while one is in the Ice resin and the other in Skyline, that is not the only difference. The blue Skyline is PenBBS’s redesign of

The Pens of November 3rd, 2020

I just received a Moonman M800 in the mail! It is quite nice, enough that it is being added to rotation right away! I also managed to find the perfect ink for it, Sheaffer Burgundy. The ink almost matches the pen barrel, it looks so good with the pen. I am also using the Hong

Ready for Paper!

I got my testing pens in now, so I can put some paper through it’s paces! My standard for testing paper is going to be with three inks: The waterproof, pigmented, Kala Dude, The waterproof, lubricated, Noodlers Blue Eel, and The more standard Diamine Majestic Blue. All three are in a separate pen with a

Moonman C1, Conversation Starter

Do you like to see ink sloshing around in your pen? Do you want your pen to catch the eye of people near you? This pen might be for you! Is that all it is good for though? How about we take a look at it, and see! With its clear body, and smooth polishing

Hong Dian Dark Blue Forest

I decided to do my first review of this fountain pen. Why? because I think it could use some attention. While I bought the Dark Blue, it is available in quite a few colors: Black, Dark Blue, Dark Green, Light Blue, Light Green, Purple, Pink, and White. It also has three nib sizes to choose
