I have never used any of the pens (or inks) in your list. Now I am inspired.
SBRE Brown looks a lot like Diamine's Saddle brown.
Oh I love how you’re making the bigger swatches in that cloud shape! Have just seen the first swatch yet but had to leave a comment already so I wouldn’t forget 😅😊 Can’t wait to see more of the inks you’re searching in this video!
Perfect combination of colors ❤
❤ the ink well
Beautiful colors - I love shading inks too.
literally just bought a twsbi eco pen (the cafe bronze of that same collection) in F and im so excited to hear a glowing review 😩 I think fountain pen shopping is still really nerve wracking for me yet LOL because there's just so much variation from pen to ink. But I'm breathing a sigh of relief now haha
i ordered the original techo avec (instead of the cousin like i meant to) completely on accident and coincidentally already had this video open 😂 but this was a good video. made me feel better about my little blunder haha. i'm not as art-savvy but I'm becoming a huge fountain pen nerd and I'm glad to see it's fountain pen safe!
Purple Rain is the color of Prince’s suit on the Purple Rain video.
I am in law school and use my Remarkable to take notes in lecture, and I love it!
Hi sorry to bother, I would like to change my platinum little star nib for an EF too but I don’t know where can I get it ? Please recommend me a place 😊
I think Amazon would be the most reliable option!
I just preordered a planner for 2025 from Wonderland222 that will have the Tomoegawa TRP.
I think a Hobonichi will not really work as a planner for me sadly. I love the layout and everything about it, but the drying time for ink with fountain pens just doesnt give me the ability to jot something down and close it. Like, it's no problem to keep a planner open for a minute, but its just not practical as long as I'm using my favorite fountain pen and ink combo 😭
You can send your glass dip pen back to a glass pen maker to have it repaired 😊
This is so cool! I’ve always been so curious about the remarkable tablets!!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video Liane!! It was so nice to hear your reflections on your ink journey. I may have added a few of these inks to cart!!
You can swap out the Twsbi Eco nib wifh Goulet nibs of Jowo #5 so could find a replacement fine or extra fine.
So helpful, I didn’t know that!!!
Great lineup of pens and inks! This was such a beautiful color palette. Thanks for showing such a clear view of your swatches. I’m a bit late in watching this video; I’m trying to get caught up on all sorts of UA-cam videos. 😅 I’ve been curious about Diamine Oxblood; it looks so gorgeous here.
Thanks, Kristen! Wait, you haven’t tried oxblood yet??!?
@@lianelikes LOL it’s hard to believe. I’m way behind on using the most popular inks. I’m just trying out JH Emerald of Chivor and Iroshizuku inks this year I think 😅
@@lianelikes Update: I just tried it last night LOL! I received a bottle of Oxblood from a good friend, and it looks just as beautiful in person as it does in your video!
Hi love your videos may I ask where’s the pen tray from the one with the samples?
Yes! It’s made by @fountainpendulum check them out!
@@lianelikes oh thank you I’ll check them out!
I’ve bought Nolty planners from Amazon Japan in past years. Also other items not easily found in the US (I’m in Hawaii). One has to be careful on the Nolty listings though as the layout in each size/color option may be different - so important to look at the images after clicking on an option. I have a fountain pen option on my kindle scribe too so I understand, writes like a stub nib, so enjoyable. what Enjoyed the video! First time, you popped up in my suggestion.
Thanks for commenting! Love hearing that I popped up in your suggestions feed.
I have the Kaweco Brass Sport and I want to love writing with it but cannot. It feels separated and not one with my hand. Thank you for mentioning the Traveller’s Company Brass pen- I will consider it.
Yes, I’ve had that same experience with the Kaweco brass and aluminum bodies. Not so much with their plastic sports. If you like the feel of brass, definitely try the TRC brass pen. I do feel very comfortable with it!
I personally love paper planners only and won’t like the remarkable unless you can change the font color as I don’t care for black on white
Now having said that I adore the 3776 F nib, I'm wondering if you have any experience with the SF nib? I've been trying to find an ink that pairs well with it, but mine is just scratchy and hard starts - even inked with Able. The first part of the stroke gets almost no ink at all, and it doesn't feel soft like i remember when I first tested the SF nib (thought that was many years ago). Have been debating parting with it as I just don't see myself loving it as much as the regular F or even the Sailor F.
Oh gosh, I’m sorry to hear about your SF! no nib should be having hard starts/issues.
GourmetPens just didxa video on fixing nibs .
Wonderful, will check it out!
An excellent case for the ReMarkable setup.. I've never seen a use for myself but this would be perfect for your need. Pretty cool, thanks
Thanks for watching!
Hi Liane, I just purchased my first Leonardo pen as well. JetPens just started carrying them last week. I picked up Blue Hawaii and it arrived yesterday. I have yet to ink it up. Just like you, I was drawn to it since I love the beach and loved seeing the different blue hues and touch of brown to represent the sandy shores. 🌊
That is awesome! Enjoy your first Leonardo!
My M1000 Renaissance with EF nib arrived yesterday from Appelboom, and I ordered it with nib tuning and it’s marvelous. My first M815 had misaligned tines also and I promised myself, every pen I buy from now on will be returned if it doesn’t write perfectly. Very pen I order I ask them to look at the nib and make certain it’s smooth.
I think that is good advice. Enjoy your M1000 Renaissance, sounds marvelous!
For future years: Jet Pens now carries Nolty planners. I keep considering them ☺️
Yes, I’ve seen that! They don’t carry the 9107 unfortunately but I’m really curious to see the whole lineup when I go to Japan soon!
Do you use the Remarkable to journal in as well or do you have a separate book for that?
I use the Remarkable strictly for note taking, planning, but not for journaling. I can imagine using it for journaling in a pinch when I don’t have my physical notebook around.
I think the reason that Hobonichi switched to the Sanzen Tomoe River paper is because of the popularity of their planners and the fact that the paper is no longer being made. Their notebooks are still original tomoe river paper and will be until they run out; however, when they make the switch, they will let people know like they did the planners. Another place I found to get original tomoe river paper notebooks is wonderland 222.
Wonderland 222? Thanks for sharing, I’ll take a look!
@@lianelikes Yes, any of their notebooks that are 2023 or before. This year is Sanzen. They mark theirs saying which paper was used. I know you like the original, so if you can, I would stock up.
The “regular” TRP is named Tomoegawa.
@@rgcainmd I know, but for some reason Wonderland 222 also has it listed as the original.
Thank you for this video and the coupon code. It helped me decide to the get the pen. I love Opus 88’s and have a few in my collection. They are comfortable, lovely pens and the material on this one is very pretty.
They are very comfortable! Glad the video and coupon code helped!
Enjoyed the video, Liane! I had the same experience with a 52gsm sanzen notebook from Goulet. It makes most of my fountain pens feel a little scratchy. It's super useful to know that hobonichis feel the same way. I also had the same experience with 68gsm tomoe river paper! I use a Take A Note planner with 68gsm and love writing in it--my fountain pens feel super buttery in it, and the paper feels very plush. JetPens started carrying Nolty planners a couple months ago, you have successfully willed it into existence XD Wishing you the best on your Japan and Korea trip!
Thanks so much! I saw that Jetpens carried Nolty now (forgot to mention in video) but they don’t carry the 9107 unfortunately :(.
Your planner system is so refreshing, and I’ve heard great things about the remarkable! I stopped using my iPad for note taking because the screen would give me a headache and I would get easily distracted. It seems like the remarkable addresses both of those challenges with their screen and being a single task writing tablet. At one point, I also looked the kobo elipsa as well, but then I fell down the fountain pen / fancy paper hole. 😅 I agree there’s a difference with the sanzen paper. I thought there was something wrong with my VP recently, until I pulled out my Cousin from last year and realized it wasn’t the pen, but the paper that was different. :(
Yeah, the change is noticeable, and if I return to the Hobonichi a6, it will likely be used with my jet stream. But I’m still deep in my FP era so we’ll see. :)
I also really enjoy remarkable 2!!! ❤ Nice lineup! I use my rM2 + the standard TN!!!
We have a similar setup!
Wow Liane, what a change up! I love how you’ve moved to the passport size. I have been using the Weeks now as my main planner for a few years, and I’m interested to see how I’ll feel about the change to Sanzen TRP in that book next year. I mostly use a highlighter and Uni Jetstream in that though, so I’m hoping I won’t have too big of an adjustment. There are so many great notebooks available in passport size, I’m interested to see if you decide to use a different extra notebook at any point in the year. Baron Fig has some good paper and I’m sure many more. And the remarkable tablet is awesome! What a game changer for work, and so cool to be able to have the handwriting ability and the digital organization! I’m very impressed with these tablets but have no use case, so I’m glad to live vicariously through reviews like yours. Thank you so much for sharing! 🤘🏼😸🧡🖋
I’ve tried my Jetstream and highlighter in the Sanzen and think it’s a great writing experience. In fact, I will likely use Sanzen only for ballpoints in the future. Thanks, Casey!
Soooo many people are leaving hobonichi due to the new Sanzan tomoe river I really like the GLP Creations The author notebooks with 68gsm tomoe river their cheaper than some but not the cheapest and they have beautiful leather covers I have one of each of them.. Youll have let me know if you ever try them they arent as small as a6 but I am thinking about getting the larger a4 model next month :)
I will definitely let you know! I think you are the expert when it comes to paper. :)
I use a lucky Chinese coin as a charm for my TN too ❤️ Can’t wait for your updates from your visit to the Traveler’s store!
That is so great! Where did you get your coin? Mine is a Korean bus coin from my dad’s hometown. 💗
You’re not gonna be able to get the old TRP either here soon. Any TRP from now on is going to be Sanzen TRP. Which for me works great and I don’t really see much of a difference
Yeah, I know :( so I’ve found that midori has worked for me in this season and who knows, I’ll likely return to Hobonichi with Sanzen paper next year. :)
Yea, sad that the original Tomoe River paper is not longer being made. I have tried the new one so I do not know the difference, but I didn’t dislike the new one. But there are so many other nice papers out there 😊
You’re so right! I bet if I started my FP journey in 2024 only knowing Sanzen paper, I would’ve been really happy with the set up. We are spoiled with all the lovely selection of quality papers out there, it’s a wonderland!
@@lianelikes yea, you are right. Let me tell you something, I even got surprised of how good “cheap” Japanese papers are such as those on Apica notebooks, or Campus Kokuyo papers.
@Guairenito kokuyo paper is good!!!
@@lianelikes you are right, I quite enjoy them, specially my A5 little Apica one. I enjoy that paper quite a lot. But of course I also have Didori, Rhodia and other top brands because I want to try them. Sometimes I find some of the “fine” papers to be too smooth for my taste though and if I write on them with a pen that is also super smooth, then I kind of loose that feeling of interaction in between the pen and the paper that I like to feel, in those cases (but just in general as well) I think that papers like Apica are such a good option and value as well.
Love the passport size for my daily logs / catch all. Its just the right size. Just want to ask...the pen beside the twsbi, is that a hongdian 1862?
Yes, you are right!!! Good eye! I’m testing it out right now and loving it! Do you have one?
@@lianelikes I still have it in my cart, just a little hesitant coz it looks so thin. Are you going to make a pen review?
This was super helpful! I forget to follow what intuitively/naturally feels right; I tend to make every journaling session a "whole experience," which honestly *isn't* helpful if I'm doing that every single time.
No pressure journaling! Absolutely, I’ve been there where I want my journaling practice to be a certain way over a period of time. A blend of both structure and tending to what you need in that moment is good! Thanks!
I agree with you about pens not gliding on the Sanzen paper, but I actually like that. A lot of the time on the Hobonichi TRP version, I felt that my pens would glide a little too easily, making it harder for me to write and causing me to have to grip my pen tighter. On other TRP brands, they usually have slightly less slip, like the new Hobonichi Sanzen paper.
Yeah, I can see how it would be a more enjoyable experience for others with the extra grip on the page because the FP’s did glide really easily along the page on old TRP.
Ah, I didn't know the Hobonichi paper changed, did they change the paper for all of their planners and notebooks this year? I didn't use fountain pens in my old Hobonichis, 2024 is my first year with them in this planner. I've had zero complaints so far 🤷🏼♀️
I'm looking forward to seeing what you come back from Asia with! Safe travels when the time comes ❤❤ Collect as many pen shop exclusives as you can 😊😊
What I know is that the original Tomoe River paper is no longer made, the brand was bought and now another company is making them. So, it is actually almost imposible to get the original paper nowadays, you will only find them from old stock that are still around in very scarce numbers. All the companies that use Tomoe River papers these days, use the new paper which is different. Some people say that it is very different, other people say that the difference is not big.
All companies that used Tomoe River paper had it change, because Tomoe River sold to Sanzen and the formula changed. So yes, all Hobonichi and other TR paper products have changed.
@@Guairenito Ah. thank you!
@@sambbbb Oh okay, I had no idea. Thanks y'all, for the info! I don't keep up with it that intensely 😅
I bought three kinds of red winsor and newton ink hoping one would be red enough, they all look like the same shade of bright neon pink T . T, Cant even make the tone on the box with it
I just tried one of the reds again, and it is actually kind of red!! It looked orange the first time so maybe I didn't do it properly, might give them all another try later!!
I love your aesthetic, Liane! This video is an inspiration to me.
I'm so glad!
Wow take a little break and half are from unknown companies 😢😢 I have over 180 full bottles and all of a sudden there's so many more companies. I'm glad I have my original private reserve. I've heard it's different now.
Lol
I love your ink exploration videos. You like such a wide variety of inks and consequently I get to know so many new inks!! Your ink journal is just beautiful!!! I just loved watching every page. So many amazing inks!!! Thank you for taking the time to share your ink journal with us. It really was gorgeous!❤❤❤
Thanks so much!
I wish i could have ancient copper in my veins thats how normal i feel about it 🤭 some my other favourites are Wearingeul Heimdall and FWP Misguided Mistletoe. Wearingeul makes a lot of great inks though. I quite like the look of your Green Umber and if i didnt have enough green ink already id be tempted to get my hands on it haha!
Heimdall, I'm intrigued!
