Sailor Lecoule Iron Blue

February 13, 2021

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...

Ducky X Varmilo Miya Pro

Ducky X Varmilo Miya Pro Moonlight Is this really a "Pro" model? Time to upgrade to a better keyboard. After countless hours on Youtube, I have finally decided that the Miya Pro is the one for me. The main selling point for me is that it has dedicated arrow keys and the layout uses a standard bottom row, making the keycap replacement much easier. Unboxing The packaging has a premium feel. This entire thing is heavy. The outer box may be familiar to you as I've seen this countless of times in YouTube videos. Getting rid of the brown box, we get to the real box. Very solid box. It'd nice to get but who cares about boxes. The shop where I got it from told me to keep all packaging and contents as it will be required to present it when claiming for warranty. I don't understand why but it is their policy so I have to follow. Not evident on the photo, but there is a silver-y "PRO" witten after MIYA on the box. Opening the box, you'll see the faint colors o...

Urushi Preppy Journey

I do love my pens and pencils but I want to get my hands busy with these stationery things with anything other than writing with them. So for my next project I want to try to "coat" my Preppy with Urushi Lacquer. Note: This is my first time doing this and I am just learning as I go along. I tried my best to be well informed before doing March 21, 2021 I took off the clip with a my trusty Dremel. It's not difficult to remove and easy to smooth out as long as you have good hand control. Setting the Dremel on High will easily eat away the plastic material of the pen. We better be careful. It looks nice when clipless. Clipless, it feels like you've taken away a chunk of Preppy's personality. It still looks pleasant and slender, sort of androgynous When it's all smooth after, I proceeded to sand the cap and case with 600, 1200, 2400 grit sand paper. If ever I would do this again, I would use coarser sand papers as it does get the thing Short update: For my later ...
