A few of mutuals follow this one and boy, howdy, is that not a great look. Just a friendly reminder to occasionally take out the trash, folks.

I find it hilarious that it may well be the largest pen in my collection. I think of click pens as small, but this one's on par with a TWSBI Eco or Jinhao X450. 😅
The nib is slightly tilted to the right. Presumably this is to get a good writing angle, but maybe not great for lefties?

I skip the converter on my Pilots, so I figured I'd do the same here and popped in a Pilot ink cartridge. If nothing else, their ink is always well behaved.
Y'all, it writes beautifully. Smooth and easy. I used it last night, and this morning it was the same. No drying out so far.

The converter that comes with the Jinhao 10 would undoubtedly work in any Pilot pen that uses a CON-40. It's not as fancy looking, what with the chunky black instead of the more streamlined clear design. But it's also devoid of the weird agitator balls and the strainer to keep them in the CON-40.

I succumbed to the lure of a good price/discount and have committed a fountain pen purchase. Grabbed a capless pen I've had on my stalk-list for months.
Behold the Jinhao 10, dark blue, EF nib.
Shipped with a plastic cover over the click mechanism, presumably to protect the nib.

If you see this, QRP with a gif of your first ever anime.
I'm sure I saw bits and pieces of Voltron or Robotech, or both, at some point before that. But Escaflowne is the anime my highschool bestie and I were obsessed with. OBSESSED. 😅

So, what you're saying is, all those gifs I saved over all those years are useful again?

The mother-in-law was feeling generous/guilty, because reasons, and offered to replace my old IKEA sewing machine. I dithered for a minute, but decided to go for it.
It arrived today.

It came with two cartridges but no converter, which seems weirdly stingy at this price. I put the cartridge in and it was ready, like, immediately.
It feels a little slimmer than my Jinhao 82 mini, but also smoother, a little lighter, and maybe cooler to the touch. Writes beautifully.

The Sailor Pro Gear Slim Shikiori Fountain Pen in Orihime (Vega).
Inspired by the Japanese fairy tale of Orihime and Hikoboshi, two lovers banished to opposite ends of the night sky.
Navy blue and sparkling glitter.
Breathtaking.

And my partner, glorious enabler of small joys whenever possible, reminded me that it's my birthday. 2025 has been a trash fire of a year and it's my birthday. My "officially older than my mother" birthday. My "dad has entered hospice" birthday.
It arrived yesterday.
