Bill Philibin @philibin.bsky.social · 12/10/2026It does take a bit to dry, but the wait is worth it. Plus I’m using a Fine nib so it isn’t that bad. …and it isn’t my slowest drying ink. I have a Kaco black ink that takes forever! 000

Bill Philibin @philibin.bsky.social · 08/10/2026This is what it looks like when you put more value on spending time with yourself than spending time with your kids. Also a good example of why narcissists make for really shitty parents! 000

Bill Philibin @philibin.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Somehow I totally missed #BeastOfTheNorthWoods by @AnneliseRyan.bsky.social and went from #DeathInTheDarkWoods directly to #MonsterInTheMoonlight.

Bill Philibin @philibin.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I wanted to do a closeup of the nib because I love the little anchor on it, but also… Sailor nibs are the only pens I have where the breather hole doesn’t connect to the slit. 000

Bill Philibin @philibin.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I was wondering how fountain pens would be on it. Thanks for sharing. 210
Bill Philibin @philibin.bsky.social · 04/10/2026This ink, at least in this pen, doesn’t do well on Mnemosyne or Mead. Not sure why, but maybe it needs a paper to have some “toothyness” (yes, I am aware that isn’t a word)! 000

Bill Philibin @philibin.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I wish more of their inks had pictures of how they write. The swatches are beautiful, but they seldom let you know how it will look for words in a notebook. 100
Bill Philibin @philibin.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I love Tomoe River paper. It is so thin but just works so well… even with the wet inks like you said. Sure there is ghosting, but that’s to be expected, and it just adds character 000
Bill Philibin @philibin.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Yikes, you are the second person to tell me FWP pens are not great. I can’t see myself using it much. It just feels cheap when I write. And I did have to fiddle with the converter to get it seated correctly. I don’t hate it, but it wouldn’t be the first pen I’d grab for. 010
Bill Philibin @philibin.bsky.social · 02/10/2026For anyone interested in the ink itself. Here is the swatching card, the holographic bottle and the card that comes with all the Wearingeul inks. It is part of the Alice in Wonderland series. 010

Bill Philibin @philibin.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I can’t see myself using it much, too lightweight… I feel like I have to press it to get the line thickness I am expecting to see. I’ll be careful when screwing/unscrewing the body-section part. Thanks for the heads-up! 000

Bill Philibin @philibin.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Pretty! What does Cdipped mean? You didn’t actually fill it and just dipped the nib tip in the ink? 100
Bill Philibin @philibin.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Which brown? I think Pilot has three different brown cartridges. I have three browns. Monteverde Brown Sugar, Pantone Mocha Mousse, and my favorite J.Herbin Scented Chocolate Brown. 000
Bill Philibin @philibin.bsky.social · 01/10/2026So, funny story about FWP. I was going to buy one of their pens from them. But then saw they charge $25 for shipping/handling, which was more than the price of the pen. I do feel like FWP has cool stuff but that it is all way overpriced and you are paying more for the presentation. 120
Bill Philibin @philibin.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Nice, looks good. Do you keep your cards in a box? I remember having an index card flip-top container with moveable dividers. I used to use it for my “43 Folders” attempt to stay organized lol. 100
