Articles I’ve read:
Visiting Pilot Pens Fountain Pen Factory in Hiratsuka and On Taking the Train in Tokyo (Wonderpens) ✑ Love these little posts on Japan visits! Really brings me back to Japan!
State of the collection: August 2019 (UK Fountain Pens) ✑ Anthony gives us an update on his pen collection.
The Aurora Duo-Cart could just be a modern classic (UK Fountain Pens) ✑ Anthony reviews the Aurora Duo-Cart which I absolutely loved. Now that they are back I think I’ll be taking the plunge! Light Blue or Light Green though?
Diamine Exclusive - Bloody Absinth (Nick Stewart) ✑ Diamine’s being releasing so many exclusives and limited edition inks lately! My only worry is how many of them are similar to each other (though they are definitely different!)
Ink Review: Troublemaker Inks Petrichor (The Well-Appointed Desk) A great name (coined by two Australian scientists back in 1964). Love these multi coloured inks!
