Sailor Shikiori Chu-Shu - Micro review

[Yazeh]

I had the opportunity to try a sample of this thanks to a generous donor.

Please note: In my haste I mistakingly wrote Chu-Shu and not Shimoyo....This is Sailor Shimoyo

I’m not a Sailor convert yet.
While I found the colour intriguing and pleasing to use, it looks nicer scanned that in real life, to my eyes.

It was a bit of pain to clean the pen. Probably it would have been much easier if I’d used a modern pen
