G-Tec Mistakes and Leuchturm Love

Perhaps I ought to name this blog Pen Blunders because lately I've had more than my fair share of them. First I broke the nib of my new Noodler Flex Pen and now I've ordered (and received) the wrong pens! I wanted Hi-Tec-C pens to see why everyone raves about them but what I actually ordered was G-Tec pens. From looking on the internet, it seems that it is the same pen with inferior ink.

Still I like the pens. I have the size 4mm but probably I would like the 5mm better. It is true that my handwriting is a lot smaller with the narrow nibs but I like the wider ones myself.

Leuchturm 1917 notebook which came is fabulous. I hope I can work up my courage to put a mark in the beautiful thing! What a lovely notebook. I like the way that the dots barely show up on the paper, the pagination and the attention to detail. It makes me wish I was on the board of some important company or an artist. I'm not worthy!

Zuretake Zig Letter Pen CocoIro

Today I finally made friends with my Kuretake Zig Letter Pen CocoIro. I received it from JetPens some time ago but this is a pen that takes some getting used to, at least for me. It has an odd flexible tip, you see. Suddenly today I found myself reaching for it instead of other pens and thinking I quite liked the way it felt on paper and the way I could make the line thicker or finer by the amount of pressure. I'll be ordering some more colors both for the pen body and the refills. I have a pink body and blue ink right now.
