I'm sharing Days 14 - 20 in my Summer of Bottles. I am slowly exploring inks I haven't used in pens in forever and find most of them very pleasant. I've been spending a lot of time with my puppy and less time with pens and inks which led to the decision to only ink pens on days I am off. But I also started wanting pens and filling carts at different retailers. Sigh.

I remember your struggles with Yozakura because I had a sample that I was struggling with as well. I really like the ink but it was a challenge finding the right pen. I am glad to see it worked in the Safari. I am tempted to get a bottle now to put in my Lilac Al-star with a gold nib. Heck, maybe I will get the Blackberry Safari that I have been denying myself as well. 😂

That Violet Blackberry is absolutely worth getting!

Oof that Yoza Kura ink looks so dry compared to the others. Thanks for sharing! I will be curious where you end up with bottles at the end of all your testing.

I'm curious too.

I also have the slightly different teal inks all over the place. They are my favorite. I just can't help it. I feel like it's harder to do the same thing with purple inks though. Why do so many very legible jewel toned purple inks have to have shimmer in them? Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, I definitely don't feel bad for having all those teals. They are lovely.

I personally find that Sailor’s music nibs are not the best. And they also have only 1 slit instead of the 2 that differentiates a music nib. I definitely prefer the Platinum ones over Sailor’s. Having said that, I still have fun with my Sailor MS nibs; it just has to be a day I have patience and time for play with my pens 😊. I would suggest for you to buy a regular PG classic black in the nib size you wish your habanero had. Although it depends vastly on where you get them, a classic black PG can be found at amazing deals, especially if you get it second hand. You can still play with your MS nib in the black pen and have your habanero with the nib size you want. Unless you are willing to have a special grind done on your MS nib. But as you mentioned you like the nib just not on the habanero, and you also like this particular pen as well, maybe getting - basically - a regular sailor nib could be another option. And yes you were out of your mind for convincing yourself you don’t need the KOP pen😂 Come on!😊 That’s like one of the best out of the box nibs out there. I love my KOPs.. and the B nib is just fantastic every time I write with it ❤ İt’s already in your collection; I would highly recommend you keep it. There aren’t many options (none in my opinion) that can fill a KOP nib’s place

That's exactly my plan. I don't think I'd want more of the music nibs, I would love to try the Platinum one, but I don't think it's a nib I would use frequently. But I like this music nib enough to keep it but will swap it out. I might take it one step further and get a Jowo housing so I can put the nib on a colorful pen. And I agree, what was I thinking of letting the KOP go. LOL.

@@seemownay Just a thought: I can send you a couple of pens to try out (Platinum MS nib, and a Sailor Zoom if you haven't tried one yet. I think you might like that one). Only I am not home and I will probably return in about a month; and from Turkey to the US post might take a while. İf you're ok with it why not.. let me know

I would love that! Let's email and find out what works best for you.

Deine Schrift gefällt mir. Wo bekommt man denn einen solchen Stiftehalter?? Der sieht richtig schön aus....

Der Stiftehalter ist ein Unikat - mein Sohn hat ihn für mich gemacht.

@@seemownay Ein begabter Sohn. Stiftehalter gibt es viele (ich hab einige aus Kunststoff), aber Deiner ist schöner, weil er so natürlich aussieht. Ganz toll gemacht! Liebe Grüße und ein großes WOW an den Sohn💕
