Review: Leonardo Momento Zero Nuvola Lilac Fountain Pen
As I mentioned in my ‘Fountain Pen Brands I Want To Try’ post, Leonardo has been high on my to-buy list for a while. It was actually the original blue Momento Zero Nuvola that I had my eye on, and I almost pulled the trigger on it so many times. But in the end I’m… Read more

Review: Ferris Wheel Press Carousel Fountain Pen
Recently I’ve been trying to get some fountain pens back into rotation that I haven’t used in a while. One of the pens I rediscovered was the Ferris Wheel Press Carousel fountain pen in the Poison Envy colour that I bought very early on in my fountain pen journey. Until now I’d only had it… Read more

Review: Asvine P20 Fountain Pen
I bought my first Asvine P20 fountain pen almost a year ago but somehow never got around to reviewing it, despite it being an interesting pen. The fact that I now have two of these should be a spoiler though – I really like the P20! Asvine is a Chinese pen brand that, along with… Read more

Review: Kaweco Art Sport Hickory Brown Fountain Pen

But to be honest, at first glance they didn’t really appeal to me at all. To me, they looked very ‘businessman-like’, which isn’t… Read more

Review: Nahvalur Voyage Pride 2024 Fountain Pen
As much as I’ve come to appreciate neutral pens recently, brightly coloured pens are my first loves. And so when the Nahvalur Voyage Pride 2024 pen was announced, I was immediately enchanted. I managed to resist preordering it, since I’d already spent quite a lot on pens recently, but I kept looking at it longingly!… Read more

Review: Zebra Sarasa Grand Vintage Gel Pen (Green)
Whilst my main stationery love is fountain pens, I’ve recently started to expand out into the world of gel pens. In my mind the words ‘gel pen’ conjures up an image of the pens of my school days: cheap, brightly coloured plastic pens, often with glitter, or even scented inks. Those pens are a lot… Read more
