Review: Sailor 1911 Hoshizora Fountain Pen
As I spoke about in my recent fountain pen day haul post, one of my recent purchases was the Sailor 1911 Hoshizora, which is a Cult Pens Exclusive. As a big fan of Sailor pens I’d been eyeing the 1911 for a while, as it was a model I didn’t already own. I’d initially been… Read more
