Faber-Castell Ondoro Smoked Oak vs eyedropper converted pilot kakuno. Am diamine inks.
FC wood body is slightly heavy on the nib pressure and is mostly ergonomic for me. The nib is nearly perfect.
The pilot kakuno are too fine and scratchy generally (but the medium nib is a dream to write)
If you want fine or extra fine nib go the Faber-Castell - it's really the only choice here.
Other gear:
Diamine Prussian Blue, Sapphire Blue and Red Dragon
Campus B5 paper from Japan
Leather pen case from polish leather worker on Etsy.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190830/7a89e397b8b7ccc5ac6de52d626c09fb.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190830/4317e9dba34418a833f79c2ab71c177f.jpg

nice write up, I can agree on the FC Ondoro. Having used it before I really am a fan of the wood barrel material too! =)
