- I talk about and show a few things from the Pen Heaven website. It has turned out to be a real resource for me for affordable and fountain pen friendly European journals.
The Stamford journal and Kartos stationery was provided by Pen Heaven. I bought the other items with my own funds to test the site (and have more paper to throw ink around at!)

Hi guys, I'm a little under the weather so I'll get the corrected subtitles up in a day or two!
Look after yourself, and hope you're feeling better quickly.
I’m so sorry you’re not well! Take your time and take care of yourself so you can recover completely.

Please get some rest. Take care of yourself.
What feast of treats this was to watch.thank you 🙏
Thanks! It was nice to review some stuff not from Japan!
These are all intriguing products and I got a kick out of the stress test at 06:48. The care you put into your videos shows. Thanks for the work you do!
Thanks so much. It’s such a tough notebook and I love it!
I use Yoro pens for my left handed students it really helps those young lefties who stuggle to improve their handwriting .
My students are 8 to 11 .
There is also a fountain pen.
That is awesome! Thanks so much for bringing this up. I’ve never seen one before and will need to find the fountain pen one!
Thanks for letting us know about them. I have no idea about it before. And yes, thanks for those flex showoff. 🤩
Hahaha! I WISH I was showing off. I’m just immune to embarrassment over my writing. This website was a find for me.
Always a pleasure to watch!
Thanks so much Hector!
As always the best voice and more information than I can handle! Thank you so very much for your effort .
Thank you so much for your always kinds words Jorge!
Thank you for replying to my comment. It sounds like you had quite a trip. I'm so glad you're doing all right all things considered. I hope you recover quickly and get back to normal.
I like her voice and her Handwriting. Smooth and perfect.
Thank you Bjorn!
Always love hearing about new paper, so thanks so much for sharing! The paper for letters seems very resilient - all your efforts to soak up the ink/water made me smile. Hope you feel better soon.
Thank you, I do. I’m loving that stationery-I’ve been stamping it now and absolutely no show thru!
I really like the look of those leather notebook covers. They have an elegant look to them. Thanks again for going through the inky mess to test out the paper.
It’s nice to have options. Thank you!
Great to see your experience with this web store..in time for the start of holiday shopping! Hope you feel better soon!
Thanks so much! I’m amazed that people are already planning holiday shopping. I’m pretty sure all mine will happen on the 24th of December…
Inky you rock!! Another great video. Love them. Very informative relaxing and funny. Your awesome
Thank you so very much Alexander! You keep me going!
I just received my first order from them. They have amazing customer service and very quick shipping, I will be ordering from them again. Thank you for introducing more items from their website.
Awesome! Glad you had a good experience. Mine was excellent too.
love love love your videos!!! Keeled over when you noted the pastel violet hobonichi journal! lovely to see the review of all the papers and performance. super helpful!
Thank you so much! I’m still using the pastel cover. It gets stains easier but most come out with a soft eraser.
Oh, my, the Stamford Burghley. Thank you for introducing us to new papers. Please feel better! ✍🏻
Thank you-i do! I’m really enjoying the Butghley. It’s unlike any of my other journals!
What a great review. I believe somebody might have a new customer. Very exciting to find new paper that performs well. Thank you so much.
Thank you! This turned out to be a pleasant surprise for me.
Great review and what a wonderful find! I am a sucker for notebooks and good stationary and this review speaks my love language!
Hahaha! I hear you! I could mess with journals and play with paper all day! Thanks!
Feel better! Great video and info, as always.
Thank you so much-I do feel better!
@@InkyRocks So glad!
Thank you for sharing this and your thoughts 🥰
Hope you got something out of it-thanks!
I’ve been looking for a good leather journal dover and just didn’t want to go spend a hundred bucks on it. Thank you!
That’s great! I’m using the Stamford now and it’s great-the thing is a tank!
Omg I've been looking for affordable journal covers. Mahalo for another great review.
Oh that’s awesome! Hope you find something you like. Make sure you also consider the thickness.
What a pleasant surprise to see this vid and nice to see you review something that should be reasonably easy for us in the UK to get. I do hope you feel better soon.
Thank you. Glad I finally talked about something that more people can get ahold of!
Excellent video. Thanks!
Thank you Patricia!
Very nice! I'm going to get m husband one of those nice, heavy leather covers and notebook for Christmas. He likes thicker, toothier papers like Strathmore.
Good to see you!
Ah! There really is a time and place for those kinds of journals-even for ink nuts like me. Sometimes you just want to WRITE. And a sturdy toothier paper just feels right. Hope he likes it!
Wow that Kartos paper looks good. Thank you for going to the trouble of such messy and intensive testing.
It’s really a quality thick paper-very luxe. The testing was fun!
sending good vibes - hope you feel better soon!
Thank you, I am!
I hope you're feeling much better! That Pen Heaven link - my Christmas shopping will soon be finished.
Thank you-I do! That’s awesome you are so far ahead. I predict I will be shopping for Christmas on Christmas Eve…
Thank you
🥰 thanks!
Thank you for the Wonderful review video ❤️
Thank you so much Pradyut!
Thanks for the review. They have a couple of nice A4 refillable leather journal covers (not super common), so I ordered one and a couple of extra refills. Adding that to what I already have, I have probably 8 years' worth of journals to fill. I might live that long. Oh, and the shipping is very reasonable, mine was $8 for express air courier from UK to US. That's less than I am usually charged for small packages by post.
That’s great! Hope they work out for you. I’m the same. I have enough paper/journals to last a lifetime. But I enjoy them.
Thanks for the review! The Yoropen looks really interesting, might give it a try in the future.
Hope you got something from the vid! Another commenter said that they also make a fountain pen!
I love that purple leather cover! I will definitely check out the pen heaven website! I do not have a journal cover yet, so this video was inspiring!
That’s great Pamela! It’s a great resource and it was new for me!
Feel better soon. ☺️
Thank you! I do-much better💕
I’d never heard of Pen Heaven before, other than my own little nirvana adventures, so I’ll check them out. Pinks and purples attract me like a moth to a lantern so naturally that pebbled purple color is reason enough for me to go have a look. Great review (again)!
Thanks LaDonna! I was pleasantly surprised by the price point and quality of them.
I do love a soft nice smelling leather. 😊 Fell better soon!
Thank you-I do! I’m the same. Leather smells great
I hope you feel better soon. I always appreciate your uploads, and I was not aware of Pilots pigment inks. As a sketcher, I love my pigment inks. Going on my wish list for sure, I will have to start haunting JetPens.
Thank you-I’m much better. I just inked up a pen with it and tested the pigment ink and it’s definitely waterproof! I mean like rock solid. Nice flow too. A lot of pigment inks can be a bit dry.
Great post !
Thanks so much!
I was not aware of this website and will check them out. I hope you're already feeling better!
Thank you so much. Feeling much better!
I came here for the torture test. Wasn't disappointed. Also, affordable leather covers? Never heard of.
Of course you came for the torture tests. You’ll be filming them soon.
Congratulations! Pen heaven does sone nice stuff. Stanford are known for great quality products, and harkens back to yester years of great made British products:)
You are so right. I chose the Stamford because I watched the vids on them. Traditional artist are so very valued here In Japan and that makes me search it out in other places. I tried to stick with more established products with a history when I chose my products and I feel I really found a wonderful resource. I’m going to have to pick your brain one day so you can give me some insights. Thanks so much!
Very nice products ☺️
I thought so too-thanks!
drooling.
Hahaha!
Whoa, I never heard of this site, it looks really cool and I must check it out one day! Indeed japanese leather stuffs is so pricy, it's kind of stunning, but I assume maybe the industry is smaller... Hobonichi does source their leathers from all over the world for their covers if memory serves me right, so that must bump up the price significantly... Plus hobonichi is more folio-like in function with all covers and such. If it's just a cover, like taut series or the one you showed from other ocmpany, definitely EU is way to go then! The euro pen is so wild... Incredible... Thank you for another wonderful video!
Thank you-glad you liked it! It’s always good to have options as we all use our stationery and pens for different purposes. This was new to me, and though I still use Hobonichis (three!) this filled a gap for me.
I hope you’re feeling better. Beautiful notebook covers. I don’t really like the hard leather, too stiff I think. Thanks for being so generous. 🥰
I am Peggy-thanks so much. I’m actually enjoying the stiff cover. It’s a really fun change for me. It’s so durable!
I've found out that bristol 180g/sm illustration paper makes an incredible and smooth writting experience so I'm making my own notebooks now days wich brings the money I waist only to the price of the bloc of paper and the time spent bookbinding! Great stuff if you like to do a little bit of DIY.
You are so right. I love Takasago Premium Bank paper but couldn’t find a journal with it. Some friends made me one!
Great review :-)
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing.. Love the review. My husband is a lefty and so can't wait to get him the yoropen. Want to find out if they make this pen for fountain pen. He has been wanting to learn to write with a fountain pen.. but feels he will make a mess...
Thank you! Another commenter says she uses the Yoropen for her lefty students. And that they make a fountain pen!
Greetings fellow KC-135 crew member.
hahaha! Where were you stationed?
Awesome stuff inky stinky!
Thanks Dustin (and thanks for watching the other vids to know my nickname hahaha!)
Thanks for the review, have you try the Regalia Paper by Endless? It was amazing surprise to me!!! I do love your videos and will sometime soon buy the beautiful glass dip pen that you reviewed.
Hey Gerardo-I haven’t yet but it’s on my list. Thanks so much!
Feel better
Thank you-I do. I HAD to get better as I’m now in the States. The transatlantic flight is SOOOO long!
Welcome Home
The "lefty" pen reminds me of a calligraphy oblique I once bought. Beautiful inks and journals.
As an aside, I've had an Instagram account for a few years so I could follow some knitters, but it confuses the heck outta me. No clue how to navigate that place! I left a comment (I think so, anyway).
Hahah! Sorry about that. RUclips doesn’t have a messaging thing so I have to use IG. I could use Twitter or TikTok but that would be crazier!
🎁🖋✨
🥰🌊🪴
What dip pen are you using to swatch the wide line of the inks?
I bought it at a pen show here in Japan. I think you might be able to get them at art/calligraphy websites.
I'm a lefty underwriter. I've found that ballpoints just don't work for me, so I've switched as much as possible to fountain pens because they write at the shallower angle.
I'm still working on designing an adapter though that will allow me to write with a standard bic ballpoint.
That’s so interesting that you find fountain pens to be better, because I often hear about the problems of smearing etc. Thank you for your feedback as I get asked about wether or not an FP is good for a lefty.
@@InkyRocks Yeah, Underwriters don't have that problem as much (not that I new that term while I was learning to write). Sidewriters will smear just about anything though.
Hi Alesa, just wanted to check in. Haven’t seen you post in a minute, and I know you said you were feeling a bit under the weather…so I just wanted to send some good vibes your way.
Hope all is well!
Thanks so much! I've put out a couple of shorts but my Tokyo Pen show vid is a monster (a summary video and shorts of the vendors I bought from). So it's taking a bit of time!
@@InkyRocks by all means, take your time. I’m excited to see what all you got to experience at the Pen Show!! And above all, I’m glad you are well. 🙏🌻
((I will have to figure out how to see shorts on FireTV/Firestick…))
But I need the purple/periwinkle ink 😬😬😬I love your vids so much 💜💜💜
Thanks so much for your always kind comments!
Aloha Alesa! Hope you're feeling better soon? There's something so satisfying when you drop large amounts of ink on paper, but how long does it take to dry? Do you blot after waiting a certain time period? Thanks for sharing the leather covers as I need a folio type in A5, but don't want to go over my credit card limit. Plus I would rather spend the money I save on ink! Mahalo for sharing. Thomas
Thanks Thomas! I’m feeling much better! I leave the ink on the whole time-thus the term torture test hahaha! It takes a couple of hours. Those journals were a pleasant surprise.
@@InkyRocks Alesa, excellent that you are feeling better. Thanks for confirming that the ink "eventually" dries. I once tried it with a Noodlers ink with a coated paper (not Tomoe River) and some parts of it never dried! Later, I read that Noodlers are notorious for having inks that take longer to dry even with just normal writing. Take care, Thomas
New Blue Black Tsuwairo ? Interesting. Any thoughts ? What are the differences with the classic version ?
It’s a pigment ink. If you are talking about regular Pilot Blue Black, that has some sort of cellulose reactive agent to make it partially waterproof. I like both. I’ll test it out, but I’m going to bet the Tsuwairo is more waterproof!
@@InkyRocks Yes the flow of the regular one is nice. And indeed, I saw some testing on RUclips that confirm the waterproof property of the Tsuwairo... Can't wait to get my hands on it ! :)
Mam please do a video on hakase sepia inks your views are highly valued thanks god bless
Thanks so much. I don't have the Hakase inks, but probably should get some!
Mam when can I expect your valuable views on hakase inks above all a very big thank you for the prompt reply God bless thanks take care
Hi, I'm just wondering how you're doing. It's been a little while since you posted. You don't have to post a video. Just a comment to say how your doing. I always enjoyed your posts and can't wait for your next.
Hi Susan! No worries and thanks for asking. I went to the States to visit family I hadn’t seen in 3 years and got caught in hurricane Ian and then made it back to Japan and caught Covid on the plane. After I recover, I should be back on schedule.
what's that gorgeous vintage flex pen in the intro?
It's an Edward Todd vintage nib modded to be in an Opus 88
Hi, I like to watch your video whenever I can :) Can you recommend a fountain pen nibsmith in Tokyo as I has a gold nib with the tip broken off. Thanks
Thanks! You can contact @tokyostationpens (either on IG or his website). He is in Tokyo.
@@InkyRocks Thank you. I have contacted him and waiting for his reply :)
I'm a left-handed underwriter and happy to try out the weird pen, though I'm not sure it's worth the shipping to send it to the US 😕 Heading over to instagram, I'd love to try graphilo but haven't wanted to drop the money on it so far!
It’s in the mail. Coincidentally, I sent a thin notebook of Graphilo for you to test it on!
@@InkyRocks ooooooo awesome!! Thanks so much!!!!!!!
How are you doing?! I hope all is well!
Thanks for asking! I was involved in some stuff back in the US but I'm home now. Just put out a "short" and will put out a vid on the Tokyo Pen Show in about a week.
@@InkyRocks Whew! I hope it was all good and that the jet-lag wasn’t too bad either direction.
That e, well, no one’s perfect xD
Hahaha! And that was a good one for me!
I thought when one has under 3000 followers you get poorly automated translation/subtitles when press on right corner of video the [CC].
If you have above the mentioned 3000 followers, you simply apply for the service of subtitles by paying for it. RUclipsr Miranda Sings found this out also at later stadium 😅😂🤣.
I have just got my first 💯 subscribers. I have a long way to go.
I’m not aware of that. I just get automated subtitles but they don’t understand a lot of the products and make weird words. So I have to go over and manually correct it. The translations come thru a free app. Good luck on your channel! Now is the hard part.
