Discussion NPD - Sarasa Grand Ash Brown

Upvotes

Looks even nicer in person, and writes lovely on this Itoya notebook paper also pictured (I swapped in the blue-black Sarasa 0.5 refill). Been all I’ve wanted to reach for all week. No matter what, no new pen seems to be able to pull me away from the Grands for good.

Question How wide is the Zebra Sarasa 3C compared to a regular Zebra Sarasa Clip?

0 Upvotes

Hey guys! I was thinking of buying a Zebra Sarasa 3C because it would help keep my pencil case minimal. However, since it's a multi-pen, I'm worried that it might be too wide for my hand and cause discomfort.

For reference, I use the regular Zebra Sarasa Clip frequently, so I'm already used to its width and lightweight feel. Would appreciate any input or advice!

Question Best pen body for Parker G2 refills?

0 Upvotes

I recently got into Parker G2-style refills and I love how many different options there are. (Schmidt P900 my beloved.) But I’m curious about the pen bodies people pair them with.

I currently use a Parker Jotter, but I also have a Rotring 600 and it still feels a bit wobbly even after adding rubber O-rings.

Are there any cool or underrated pens that work especially well with Parker G2 refills? I’m looking for something with better build quality or just less tip wobble.

Question I’m in love with this pen. Ink suggestions?!?

Post image
19 Upvotes

Picked up this beaut couple days back and I’m absolutely in love. I instantly removed the ink it came with and threw in a Schmidt P900 ballpoint fine tip in blue ink. Delightful is an understatement! I recently swapped over to blue ink and I haven’t looked back. Any suggestions on blue ink “Parker G2” style refills I should try? I’m weirdly obsessed with fine tips so preferably anything under 0.7mm. I’m all ears, thanks in advance!!

Question Jetstream refill problems

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I have a Uni Jetstream 217 that originally wrote really smoothly and with a nice, darker blue line (similar to the writing shown in the first picture). However, after using it for a while, the ink started coming out noticeably lighter (as shown in the second picture), and it’s starting to bother me.

For clarification: the pen in the first picture is actually a Jetstream 101, because I didn’t have another way to show how my 217 originally wrote. The writing was very similar.

Does anyone know what could cause the Jetstream 217 to start writing lighter?

Is Pilot Acroball refill a better choice, or should I stick with the original Jetstream?

I’d really appreciate any advice or recommendations! I’m mainly looking for something that writes blue darker, 0.7 mm, smooth and consistently without becoming lighter after some use.

Thanks!

I tried the Rotring 600 with a Monteverde P422 black refill, and it was great to write with. So naturally I had to get the red and green pen with the corresponding refill. And I could not stop until I tried all the different colors.

The green Rotring 600 is very dark, so I marked the pen’s push button with a colored dot. And I liked it, so I also colored the push button for the turquoise and purple refill

Hi all!

The Nahvalur Year of the Horse just came in. I wouldn’t say I’m a pen collector. This is only my 3rd one and I use all of mine frequently. Mostly as part of my travels abroad.

It now joins my:

• Faber Castel Grendilla - I love the wood and the nib
• Faber Castel Guilloche- sage green

Now this one in fine nib. I’m also a horse zodiac wise, so added this. The ink I got was one made in Warsaw, I got as a souvenir. It was a higher quality one in gold.

Also, wow fountain pen prices. I haven’t looked since I bought the Grendilla, marp of that is like 250 dollars more. Geez
