It has been a hot minute since I handled an actual camera but I went out just for the sake of taking photos

After dropping off of journaling for the past 4-5 years, I managed to keep it up for all of 2023 😤

Hope I can keep this ball rolling for 2024 too!!

The new rose gold TWSBI is so pretty 🥹 have you ever had any issues with your TWSBI Ecos cracking? Just curious since I’ve been on the fence about getting one myself but I have been seeing people complain about that, so now I’m worried….

No worries!! From what I've read online, the cracking issue might come from people constantly disassembling their pen for cleaning or twisting the cap too tightly. I don't really do either of those so my pens are fine... for now.... knock on wood LOL 😳

Sailor Lecoule Fude de Mannen Tsukigumo セーラーレクルふでDEまんねん（月雲）

I may have gone feral and jumped on buying this a bit too fast 🙈

I bought this directly from Sailor's online shop and used Tenso to deliver it to me in Canada. These Fude de Mannen pens were released as a pair, Tsukigumo's nib is bent at 55° while Yuugumo's is bent at 40°. I think it's cute that these pens were created with a cloud theme in mind, Tsukigumo = moon cloud and Yuugumo = evening cloud 🌙⛅

The colours in Sailor's stock photos are more accurate. My phone can't seem to capture the blue of the pen quite right, you can definitely tell that the blue in Tsukigumo is more yellow-leaning when you're looking at it in real life. It's not a deep, navy blue like my photos 🙇‍♀️ The white parts of the pen is semi-transparent and is pearlescent, which goes really well with the "moonlit cloud" imagery.

I only bought Tsukigumo since I already have two pens that have a 40° fude nib (Hocoro dip pen and Yurameku Profit Jr.)

I think it's because I hold my pen pretty upright when I write, I like the feel the 55° fude nib more, I experience less "scratch" and barely have to adjust my hand as opposed to when I'm using the Hocoro fude nib, it takes me a while to find that "sweet spot" when I'm using the Hocoro.

Below are some writing samples of the Hocoro fude nib (40°) and the Lecoule Fude de Mannen (55°). It's very easy to get thicker lines with the Lecoule without straining my wrist. Most people would probably use a fude nib for calligraphy but I'm excited to draw and doodle with this pen!
