Still my favorite pen. One of the reasons being the ability to use a bunch of different nibs, including this great naginata togi grind by CY of Tokyo Station Pens. The ink is a beautiful green made by Sailor for YouStyle in Japan. 🖋
This @stylo_matthieu_faivet no. 7 was a present to myself for achieving a significant professional milestone. Itâs made of CS Dartmoor, one of my favorite materials, fitted with one of my favorite nibs, an Aurora B ground to a delightful naginata togi by @thenibsmith, and filled with a beautiful @sailor.pen ink. A perfect combination for me. . From start to finish, Matthieu was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend his work to anyone interested in a custom pen. Merci, Matthieu! . #fountainpen #fountainpens #stationery #stationeryaddict #penaddict #fpn #fpgeek #fpgeeks #sailorink #penluxmo #penluxmopine #tomoeriver #nanamicrossfield #journal #handwriting #cursive
Really hope the 🖋 pen community on Micro.blog takes off. I’d love to have a pen-focused alternative to Instagram. The pen shown here is the Schon DSGN Ultem pen.
Grateful that perseverance paid off and I was finally able to track these down: TIPS 2019 Highness Black Tea and Noble Green Tea. . . #sailorink #fountainpen #fountainpens #stationery #stationeryaddict #fountainpenink #sailorjapan #penaddict #fpn #fpgeeks #fpgeek

Fun little pen, especially with a Pilot nib and a sweet @nibgrinder architect. ðð¼ . . #fountainpen #fountainpens #schondsgn #stationery #stationeryaddict #ultempen #tomoeriver #pilotpens #penaddict #fpn #fpgeeks
Messy dry session this morning, but thatâs OK. Trying the 2019 Gushu Sheng coin from @westchinatea and itâs delicious. . . #tea #gongfu #gongfucha #sheng #fountainpen #conidpen #conidpens #sailorink #tomoeriver #nanamipaper #stationery #stationeryaddict #penaddict #fpgeek #fpgeeks
Sailor Oregon. Some of the 50 States inks are nice, but it feels like the states are being assigned to the colors after the fact and a little haphazardly, rather than colors being specifically created for each state. . . #fountainpen #fountainpens #sailor #sailorpg #sailorink #sailorpen #sailor50states #ink #stationery #stationeryaddict #notebook #tomoeriver #nanami #nanamisevenseas #fpn #penaddict #fpgeeks

Oolongla! After a period of dormancy, Iâve been returning to my love of tea and teaware. Iâve had this gaiwan for a few years now and Iâve loved watching the crazing in the celadon darken over time. ðµ . . #tea #oolong #oolongtea #gaiwan #celadon #stationery #penaddict #stationeryaddict #teahead #pilotpen #fpn #fpgeeks
Maybe itâs the season, but I find myself drawn to muted, less saturated shades these days. I wish this ink were a little less watery, but itâs really hitting the spot, especially on this slightly cream paper. Making a cameo is a hybrid architect ground by @nibgrinder in my beloved @conidpen Bulkfiller. . . #fountainpen #fountainpens #nibgrinder #nibmeister #sankodo #sailorink #conidpen #conidpen #conid #stationery #stationeryaddict #penaddict #fpn #fpgeeks
The inks currently in my Pro Gears. Still going with two blues, two purples/browns/maroons, and two greens, usually by Sailor. . . . #fountainpen #sailor #sailorpen #sailorprogear #tomoeriver #sailorink #fpn #fpgeeks #penaddict #handwriting #stationery #stationeryaddict #currentlyinked
I havenât used this ink in a couple of years.

Two of my favorite grinds: a blade Turk from @nibgrinder and a mini-NAG from @tokyostationpens, who also did a wonderful job of plating the gold Sailor nib on the right.

These are fun! Hereâs my current ink crush: YouStyle 202 Sudashi Midori, an ink meant to represent the color of the Castanopsis sieboldii tree. Itâs a gorgeous, wet, sheeny murky green that I canât get enough of right now. . . #fountainpen #fountainpens #fountainpenink #fountainpeninks #stationery #stationeryaddict #tomoeriver #sailorink #sailorinks #murkygreen #glasspen #penaddict #fpgeeks #fpn
Sailorâs Manyo Shirakashi is lovely. I assumed it would be close to Rikyu-cha and Cigar, but itâs actually pretty different. More muted, a little less saturated, a little greener, with nice shading and a hint of copper sheen. Very nice. . . #fountainpen #fountainpenink #fountainpeninks #sailorink #sailormanyo #tomoeriver #inkswatch #stationery #stationeryaddict #penaddict #fpgeeks #fpn #glasspen #inknuma

These murky greens and green-browns are slippery, changing from one paper to the next. Iâve been swabbing them on a bunch of different papers and, so far, the winner is OK Fools. Itâs hard to capture the very subtle differences in these shades, but this paper does a very nice job of it. . #fountainpen #fountainpens #fountainpenink #fountainpeninks #inkjournal #stationery #handwriting #sailorink #sailorpen #sailorpgrealo #stationeryaddict #paperaddict #penaddict #fpn #fpgeeks
My lone surviving writing sample of Sailor Brown, written around 15 years ago.
