Pilot Iroshizuku Price Drop At Vanness Pens (Sponsor)

You read that right. Pilot Iroshizuku fountain pen ink, one of the most popular inks on the market, is now just $25 per bottle at Vanness Pens.

These aren’t mini bottles either. These are the full 50 ml bottles of favorites such as Kon-Peki, Shin-Kai, Fuyu-Gaki, Yama-Budo, and more. If you have been waiting to try Iroshizuku ink, or need to stock up on your favorites, now is the time. You even get free US shipping on orders over $40.

And since you are going the Pilot route, why not try your new ink in one of their flagship pens, like the 823 or the Vanishing Point? The 823 sports a beautiful transparent amber barrel and one of the best vacuum filling mechanisms on the market. The Vanishing Point is even more unique with its retractable nib mechanism, making it a great choice for portability.

No matter your writing needs, Vanness Pens has you covered. My thanks to them for sponsoring The Pen Addict this week.

ystudio Pens And Monteverde Ink Cartridges Now At Vanness Pens (Sponsor)

If I can pick one pen release in the past year that has impressed me the most it has to be the ystudio Brassing Portable Fountain Pen. I’m impatient and had to go overseas to pick this one up, but if you are in the US you can now get this pen, and other ystudio products, at Vanness Pens.

The design of this pen speaks to me on every level. The long, clean lines. The black coating over brass that will wear as you use and carry the pen. The snap of the cap when closing. And even the carry strap, which is something I haven’t seen in a fountain pen before. I’m enamored with it, if you couldn’t tell.

The Brassing Portable Fountain Pen uses international cartridges or converters, giving you a wide range of choices for this pen. Even the new Monteverde short international cartridges will fit, giving you over colors to choose from in the most portable of fashion.

If you are looking for unique, beautiful, and functional products, ystudio makes some of the best, and you can now find them at Vanness Pens. My thanks to them for sponsoring The Pen Addict this week.
