Good to know. I’ve been eyeballing those for awhile now. Once you get spoiled with a pen, it’s hard to tolerate any skipping, stopping, glops. I think they dry pretty quickly but I’m a righty so I’ll reserve judgment on that for the 10%. I grew up with Bic pens and I’m not going to say anything bad about them. I just really appreciate the variety now. Sorry for the ramble, I guess I really am a pen nerd!

I am curious about the Sarasa Grand. It takes every colour and size of all the other sarasa, but has a metal body that makes would make writing with it better. I haven't had a metal body pen for years! Does it make writing more pleasant? Or you recommend another similar "upscale" pen? I just got a signo DX .38 in black-blue and i was blown away, from both colour and writing ease. Is there a metal (or heavier) model in the Signo line? Do you like it?

It's just something to keep in mind if you are labeling pages with photos or other memorabilia as you will want that info when you look back. I know my mom spent a decade taking apart and re-cataloguing and re-lettering photobooks and scrapbook albums from my grandparents and great-grandparents since pH neutral and archival quality memory keeping wasn't something previous generations would consider.

Hi Kaitlin. I, too, love pens so it makes perfect sense that I thoroughly enjoyed your video. I’m pretty sure I own every pen you featured. I have a set of the Sarasa Vintage pens. My favorite color is the camel (I don’t recall if it’s just camel or if there’s an additional description). It’s such a unique color, much darker than yellows (which just don’t show up) and more muted than oranges. It’s smooth, too. I have a Kaweco Sport Gel, but I kind of gave up using it because the .07 is just too wide on any paper I use. But when you pulled yours out and you had a different refill in it, I wondered if I might have something in my collection of refills that might fit that was also .05 (I LOVE to mix and match -I even use my label maker to name the refill and size and stick them on the pen barrels). The Sakura Craft Lab 001 fits! It comes in different colors (I happen to have a black and a blue/black) and in .05. Writing with it now and back in love with my Kaweco Sport Gel. THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION!!! ❤️ You can purchase the refills on JetPens.

Aw man, I’m sorry to hear that your Pilot pen isn’t working, malfunctioning pens are always tragic 🥲 I love the thickness of the sarasa pens, its a pretty standard 0.5 in my experience. I think in terms of feedback, I’ve found that the paper you use can have a big effect on how your pen feels. So I would recommend picking up a couple options (maybe do a google search on pens similar to the pilot v5) and try it out on the notebook you use the most often!

My V5 gave me problems as well. Now I only use them to underline. Such a shame, I had great expectations for those pens.

Dear Kaitlin, Can you please share the notebooks that you prefer for cursive writing? I had a stroke & now tremoring hands so i'd appreciate knowing as i struggle even more if the paper is too smooth. Also, i prefer grid (graph?) paper as my vision can not see the dots. Hope to find some of the pens ~ Victoria, BC is smaller than TO, & i'd prefer to stay away from Amazon & prefer to by CDN only b/c of duties. Many thanks! ~kari PS: i'd love to learn how your write the fancy lettered 'headings', they're beautiful!

Hey Kari! Yes of course, more than happy to give you some recommendations! I find the the Midori MD notebook have a nice friction to the without being overly textured, I also love the Stalogy, it’s not super smooth paper but I’d say the Midori is a bit more rough so that might be better for you! I hope that helps!

You’re welcome :) To answer your question about handwriting, I have cursive and printing guides for my writing in my Etsy shop (shop Kaitlin grey) so I’d say those would be the best way to learn my specific style!

Do Sarasa vintage pens glide smoothly on the paper? I bought a light green Sarasa clip because it was very cheap but it feels scratchy :/ EnerGel is also great but I don’t like the feel in hand and quality
@KaitlinGrey Жыл бұрын
Pro tip, you can buy energel refills and put them in the sarasa pens (they’re the same size) 🙌🏻 But to answer your question, no that seems weird, my sarasa pens are never scratchy.
