Zebra Delguard Honeycomb Green

Zebra DelGuard Honeycomb Green

Mail call! Today the Zebra DelGuard in Honeycomb Green arrived. Sharing some photos before I open it up.

Zebra DelGuard packaging

The mechanical pencil came in a fat packaging like it's wrapped in one big bubble. You tear out the entire back plastic panel to get to another plastic morph that holds the pencil in place. The presentation of the whole package is overly done and quite excessive but it does make it look more premium over the Kuru Toga Advance Limited this came with.

Seriously, in this day and age, a mechanical pencil like this is purchased (most probably online) by discerning minds who have spent a few hours or even days on the internet. There's no need to go mad for packaging. Having said that, I still find myself looking at and caressing this disposed carcass that Stationery geeks so adore.

Golden inscription at the clip that says "Zebra DelGuard 0.5"

Why do I associate the theme of this packaging to an effective toothpaste commercial. The colors felt cool and clean, like how you want your teeth to be.

For readers based in the Philippines, this Mechanical Pencil was purchased from one of the sellers on Shopee. I spotted some Delguards hidden under the plastic curtains at the stationery corner of National Book Store, but I haven't had any time to check it out.

Looks good! I can't wait to try this out.

Bonus DelGuard

Spotted in Noteworthy BGC the other day, a limited edition DelGuard. I can't say anything for this model and I can't find anything online about this edition.

Good thing I'm not a fan of anything pink so it's not so heart breaking to hang it back at the shelf, turn around, and slowly walk away.

Good price at Php299.75. The regular ones at Shopee go for much higher.

Sailor Lecoule Iron Blue

 New Pen Day! Sailor Lecoule  New Sailor Fountain Pen pick up today. I've been obsessing over the Shikiori for a few days now but I just can't get over the color choices available. I do see myself getting the more refined Sailor counterparts, but that will be for another day. But until then, I was looking for an understated pen design that I can bring anywhere, yet inexpensive enough to get over with should I lose it. I came across a display of the Lecoule at our local Pen Store and decided to get this for my first Sailor. This will be a stepping stone into my preparation for the more expensive Sailors. They will not be Pen Case queens. Sailor Lecoule in unopened box This is the Sailor Lecoule in Iron Blue. The blue is a deep Navy Blue that I almost mistook for black under adequate lighting. There are no gold accents, which makes it a bit sporty. Rear side of the Sailor Lecoule Packaging The back side of the box contains no word of English except for the "Made in Japan...

Zebra G Nib in Jinhao X750

Image
 Everything went south after using the Vinta Dugong Bughaw (Blue Blood) ink in this Zebra G Nib Titanium and Jinhao X750 mod. This pen had seen heavy use and probably over a dozen ink refills over the few weeks (less than a month) that I've owned it. It was a fun flex pen but there is nothing to be sad at for this whole setup is dirt cheap. If you're planning to use sheening inks on this Jinhao X750 Zebra G Nib setup, make sure you have enough research about the inks you want to use. The Vinta Dugong Bughaw, while gorgeous on paper, is one nasty thick ink. It would be perfect for feeds with wide channels.  Side note: you can score this feed to create deeper channels. The part of the feed where the ink channels are shallow, is where most of the ink dried up. The photos you above are the Nib and Feed after being soaked for 5 days on warm water with mild soap. I keep the water warm by replacing it few times a day.
