Currently inked and this will likely be my setup until end of 2024 because I am content with it and each writing tool serves its particular purpose well.

I started the year 2024 with just the 1st, 2nd, and 4th pen. The Sailor and Kuretake are new additions to my setup in early Spring.

For the 2nd pen, I wrote Preppy/Plaisir because I started off with a Preppy EF, but the cap cracked so I had to put the nib unit (which was totally fine) into a Plaisir body (that originally had a F nib).

The only thing I will change in 2025 will probably be to replace Iroshizuku Momiji with Iroshizuku Chiku-rin to mark the new year unless there is some unforeseen circumstance like my bottle of Chiku-rin spoiling by then *gasp*.

Paper is Tomoe River 68 gsm (probably.)

In case anyone is interested, I also use a Uni Jetstream <0.7, black> to take bulk of my notes (at work and otherwise, as I cannot afford to have any fuss with those) and a mechanical pencil (I don't really care which brand or model) for various things like music annotation.
