Cut 'Em Things

 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.

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. Close up view of the DelGuard System Mechanism 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 them...
