Another vote for Midori and Rhodia. I’m looking for the spiral version of the Midori, in the meantime my daily driver is a sidebound Rhodia spiral. It just works, any ink, any pen.
Where I can, of course. Right now I’ve got Tsutsuji in a Safari and Party Time in an Al Star. The rest are random combinations. I’ve yet to find a pen I like that plays well with Hana Ikada, or Pink Sugar Beach.
Thank you for voting, all! In the results, x = 1 vote, if someone voted for two different ones I took their first choice/the one they were leaning towards.
Looks lovely! I enjoyed looking at the writing sample. Your ink really helps show off the line variation. I like how the loops in your b, h, and l letters look!
Pilot Iroshizuku Syo-Ro - it is basically a teal. I received it as a gift sample when buying from a reputable seller (arlepo) and it looks and behaves totally average for me. i’ve never owned any Pilot Iroshizuku or other premium series like Pelikan Edelstein and was super hyped about it. But eventually my expectations were not met. Honestly.
Could you post back when you actually have to clean/flush it? I’m particularly interested in how hard or how much time it takes to clean a piston filler.
On top of what others have said, it’s worth checking that the nib & feed are properly seated. I’ve had that happen with TWISBI’s before and that was the issue.
