It’s me, Laura, and today I’m shamelessly copycatting Ana’s post last week and spending a week using my favorite starter pen. My all time favorite when I first got into fountain pens was the Pilot Metropolitan Retro Pops! They were priced slightly differently back then, more at an introductory level (around $15-17 a piece if…
It’s been a long time since I’ve bought or used a simple black ink gel pen. I always seem to lean into funky colors or other kinds of pens. But I’ve found that I really like the kookiness of the Writech line of pens. They’ve released dual color multipens with two complimentary colors or a…
