Japan Post to Philippines (How Many Days)

As mentioned in my previous entry, I've ordered new Toho Sangyo Urushi Tubes from Fishingshop.kiwi, which is based in Japan.

I genuinely have no idea what is the use for these Urushi Lacquer tubes from sport fishing companies but I am glad they have it. Some people buy this from Amazon for Kintsugi repair but are instantly disappointed since this specific Toho Urushi is not approved for tableware. 

Look at how many Urushi tubes I ordered lol.


Short feedback for Fishingshop.kiwi:

Date of ordering was April 23, 2021. I have to wait for them to check stocks before I can pay them.

After a quick e-mail follow-up, I only got the confirmation from them on April 27, 2021, which means I can finally make the card payment. I paid immediately after receiving. There were a few hours that lapsed before my order status updated to "paid"

I was kind of expecting that they'd be shipped out before the Golden Week starts.

But they didn't.

I had to wait for the Golden Week to end before I send another e-mail follow up. When I did, they promised to ship it out the next day, May 7, 2021. 

Quick recap of the time line:
April 23, 2021    Ordered the Items.
April 27, 2021    Confirmed by Fishingshop.kiwi.
                            I made payment.
                            Fishingshop.kiwi confirmed my payment.
May 7, 2021        Item shipped out by Fishingshop.kiwi

That's 14 days. I could be sooner I ordered way before Golden Week.

My parcel can now be tracked. I think I have to let it grow on its own. The more I keep a close eye on this, the longer the wait.

I'll leave you alone for now.

Quick update:

A row has been added! It seems that my parcel has been dispatched.

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.
