Hello from Hong Kong - Just bought a Sailor

[gunzeye]

This is my first post. I have been dormant for the last 11 years since signing up to fountainpennetwork in 2010.

 

I bought my Sailor Pro Gear Slim 14k MF yesterday which made me write this post. As soon as I got home I wrote a couple of hand written letters to my cousins in Canada, which if I mail them now will reach them in the next 40 days !!  I bought this from Sailor retailer in Hong Kong for a bargain price of US $98. I went to the shop to buy Pelikan M200 which retailed around $140 but couldn't resist the deal of owning a sailor for less than $100. Most pens were at a discounted price compared to other shops I visited here. 

 

I also bought sailor Souten ink which I love. Had been contemplating between Iroshizuku Asa Gao and Kon Peki and the Souten sits just in the middle without being too rich or too light.  Here are few pictures for fellow pen lovers.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone !

 

Apart from the sailor I purchased recently I also own a lamy safari. Previously owned a Sheaffer 100 but lost it. S100 was buttery smooth compared to my lamy. I changed the nib for my lamy recently and now it writes beautifully.
