Taking note of everyone's orders on this thread. Demand it seems, is greater than I anticipated and I need to keep some for myself too!

 

For everyone that is placing a large order; I will try to accommodate, but will try to ensure everyone has at least a 100 sheets to remain utilitarian and to be fair to everyone! This applies to all Personal messages as well...!

Hello

 

Please sign me up for 100 sheets of white and 100 of cream. I'm in the UK and assume you would post them together rather than in two parcels.

 

Thank you.

David.

Hi,

Has anything come of this? I would like to find some UK supplies. Any UK based recommendations for Japanese paper also welcome. R

As someone said, this isn't a group buy.

 

I ran the UK Ink sample Group for a year, and I didnt take (and never intended) to make any profit, but I can say that the process of ordering the materials, decanting them into vials, packing them up and sending them off was a minimum of 4 hours per month (And that's not including my wife providing writing samples at about 5 hours per month)

 

I did it through choice, and enjoyed the process.

 

 

Fionafish who ran the Akkerman samples, did it for the same reason. And with zero profit.

 

Renfield did a wonderful job with the UK ink samples. For various personal reasons, I didn't contribute much to the conversation about this, but it was a fabulous experience, and I give heartfelt thanks to Renfield and his family for putting such time and effort into running the ink sample task.

 

The paper sounds a great deal to me.

 

But its bloody hard work.

 

 

This is a simple transaction. But considering the OP is investing the money to buy the paper, organise shipping, then has to count out all those pages into batches of 100, then find a way to package them up so that they dont bend, and then lug them to the post office.

 

As someone who appreciates how much work that will be going into it, I would expect it to turn a profit.

 

Postage alone is going to be somewhere in the region of £1.65 (up to 500g)

 

A 80 page Rhodia pad will run you almost a fiver.....

 

So the price sounds very fair to me.

Hey everyone

 

Thanks for waiting. I received my long awaited and prized Tomoe River paper in white. For everyone that has been in touch, I will start posting out soon. I've already started packing the paper into 100 sheets packets, and will begin sending them out next week.

 

Once again, thanks for being patient!

Dear all

 

My personal messenger has stopped working. I got down to sending PMs to the 30th post, so if you sent a reply after the 30th post then please PM me so I can respond back!

 

Has this happened to anyone else before?

Hi everyone!

 

I sent out the first five parcels on Friday. I've been really fussy about getting the packaging perfect so as to get the paper to you in perfect condition. I've done most packs now, and the bulk will be posted in the next week!

 

Please do let me know your vies on the packaging and the paper!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
