With my letter writing. Not so with video production. Just two letters in my inbox! That’s quite amazing for me, didn’t think that such a day would ever come.
I’m out today… Went to test the new Iroful paper from Sakae Technical Paper. I will try and do a proper review of that soon, it’s quite a different paper, the sizing is very different from what I’m used to. It’s basically from the same factory as the old, aclaimed Tomoe River Paper, production of which has since stopped and the factory itself has changed hands. I don’t even know the exact details… Gotta do some reading up later… But the short summary is as such: Paper is very different, fountain pen friendly, has sort of plasticky feel, but from my very short test, I love it.
Off to meet some other fountain pen friends in a bit… To just hang out and get the tea that I ordered with them in a group buy. Hmm… Not sure what time I should head over. Maybe a little more? Don’t want to hang around so long in the ‘poison den’ so to speak. We are meeting at a local fountain pen shop that’s been affectionally nicknamed the poison den because well, you rarely go out unscathed. I mean, your wallet rarely comes out unscathed. It’s a very dangerous place… And I did just spend a ton there a few weeks back… AND also bought a bunch of paper today at Cityluxe were we got to try the Iroful paper. Yes, I definitely did buy the Iroful paper…. :X
In my defense, the paper is unlike any I’ve tried before… Ok, more similar to the Cosmos Note… But still quite different. AND it’s cheap! $9.9 (that’s Singapore dollars) for a pack of 50 A4 sheets, or the same price for a pack of 100 A5 sheets. That’s quite affordable plus they gave us 20% off today so… More excuses to buy right?
Alright. I shall end off here. Till next time!
