My first FP is here!

[Suggy]

Received the Pilot 78G from a brother here. Thanks again Shave Rat! That is about the coolest thing ever. Not sure if I'll catch quite the AD here as I have with the razors, but I can tell it's brewing. I'm excited about writing again.



He supplied me with a few different shades of ink. It's a bulb fill. Super easy to fill. At least I didn't screw it up. Gotta watch the ink on my hands. Not from writing (i'm left handed...) but from filling the pen. A practice thing I guess

They are fantastic pens for the price! Enjoy.

As James would say "You're doomed". Fountain pens are quite fun, as I'm sure you are finding out. Congrats on the pen

That's it! You are all set if you have a 78G. A fantastic pen! My favorite. I wish some of my more expensive pens wrote as well as my 78Gs do.

Glad you are enjoying it! I personally love the shade of purple that Private Reserve Purple Mojo has. Bonus points for being reasonable priced, and combo points for the awesome name on that one. lol
