It’d been a minute since I bought a new pen, and I’ve always wanted to try a vacuum fill pen so I finally pulled the trigger. The pen writes so well straight out of the box but that’s always been my experience with TWSBI pens. The kon-peki ink is a nice beautiful blue that also seems to dry fairly quickly which is nice because I’m a lefty and it’s impossible for me to write without making a mess lol.

      Yeah I’ve always wanted to try the Iroshizuku inks because the bottle is so pretty and they look nice but buying whole jars of ink is intimidating for me lol. Glad I finally bit the bullet because it’s prob already my fav blue.

      And I’m just self studying atm. I’m going to Japan later this year and I wanted to (hopefully) be able to speak some Japanese outside of just ありがとうございます and like すみません lol. I don’t expect to be fluent or anything, but if nothing else maybe be able to decipher some signs based off the katakana or familiar kanji.
