So this is my second LAMY safari pen. My first one I ended up loving because it specifically works wonders for my Ink Institute Electric Blue Spider Lily ink. I tried that ink in both a TWSBI medium and fine nib and for whatever reason the ink just did not flow well in it. It would barely show any of the inks gorgeous qualities. However it shined and looks beautiful in the LAMY medium. So when I was looking at trying out another ink (Dominant Industry Autumn Forest pearl series) I went ahead and treated myself to another LAMY. I love the feel of the pen and the tri grip. I do like too that you can use a converter since I exclusively like bottled inks. That is one area however where I'll sing the praises of my TWSBI ECOs over a LAMY. The converter for it does hold a good amount of ink but not as much as I'd like. However the LAMY is super easy to take apart to install the converter and it's nice to have the option for cartridge or converter. Overall it's an excellent pen by all rights without breaking the bank
Works perfectly with my Kaweco Sport. A much easier experience than what I was doing before.
The Sailor Pro Gear Slim Shikiori - Fairy Tale Series - Dragon Palace fountain pen is a great start to the adventure that awaits! Its whimsical design is visually stunning, with delicate yet vibrant colors that evoke a sense of magic and elegance. The pen’s slim profile ensures a comfortable writing experience, and the 14k gold nib glides smoothly across the paper, without too much ink flow which the sides of my hands have greatly appreciated. This pen is a perfect blend of beauty and functionality. I'm enjoying my writing instrument bringing a bit of fairy tale charm to my everyday life. Yoseka's customer experience was also exceptional. I truly appreciated their attention to detail in every YouTube video I watched in making my decision as well as the little note in my packaging upon arrival. Thank you!
This pen was on my list for a while and I am very pleased with the look and writing experience. The staff was kind enough to provide me pictures of what they had in stock so I could see how close the product was to the site photos. The nib is smooth and has good ink flow and the body is comfortable to hold.
Purchased for my husband who loves to collect interesting measuring devices - he had never seen "faces" used instead of lines. He thought it was neat, and it was a great "just because" gift to someone I love. Recommend!
Lovely ink. The shade is a perfect yellow. The name of this ink is appropriate.
I think my title says it all. These are lovely designs, and the line format makes them a quick and simple way to add color to my notebooks. I hope BGM offers even more!
Thanks to Yoseka Stationery for selling these refills. The best ballpoint refills I ever tried. I wish they had more for sale, but it seems like I bought all of them :)
I love the sailor mayno Kuzu ink. It is a beautiful, deep purple-ly color. The ink samples are nice because I can try new colors without having to purchase a large bottle of ink. Yoseka packages their ink samples very well.
A sticky note that is compatible with fountain pens! I didn’t realize this was missing from my life until I saw it here. They sell refills for the sticky notes!
I love the paper quality! My fountain pens write really well on it.
This ink is so beautiful! It’s such a vibrant pink. I was worried about it being too light but it’s not too light at all.
This is a great blue-black. I don't see the brown sheen in swatches other than at pooled edges - but love the ink regardless. Great flow, and what I was hoping for in the blue-black range. Swatching with this ink didn't bleed through TRP -and I even tested it on some of my 'bad' pages. absolutely NO sheen on the bad TRP of course, but the lack of bleed through and feathering feels like a win.
I love the eco this is my 4th one! Yoseka has fast delivery and I am very pleased with my order 🥰
