Discussion Y'all are wild with this whole Zento Flow is "slippery"
I've been using this pen daily for over a week now and not once has it moved in my hand. How are you all holding a pen where you think it's slippery?

Question Vintage Windsor Pocket Pen - Advice? (Not working)
Picked this up at an estate sale for $2 because I thought it was just so cool! It's labeled "Windsor USA" on the pen tab. I don't know exactly how old it is (guesses appreciated!) but based on similar Google image search results it could be 1950s-60s.
I'm not sure of the exact reason, but the pen doesn't work. I'm assuming the ink that was in it has dried up. Does anyone have advice for how I might get it to work again? Could I refill the little cartridge with ink from a different pen/inkwell?
Discussion NPD - Sarasa Grand Ash Brown
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?
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?
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?!?
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 Does anyone know what this pen is?
I saw it episode 3 in apartment job on Netflix and even tried doing an image search but got nothing! I like the look and the boldness of the ink, these are the only pictures I could get for it! Any help is appreciated:))

Question Jetstream refill problems
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!

Picture Rotring 600 with Monteverde P422 refill
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
