On December 21, 2018 my Black Aurora Talentum (Extra Fine) joined its comrades when it was filled with Pilot Iroshizuku Ku-jaku. The pen was in use for 2 weeks and was emptied and cleaned on January 9, 2019, saying good-bye to its fellows.

Thoughts Before Filling

I just got this pen yesterday, and while I anticipate Santa bringing me a bottle of ink, I didn’t want to wait and not enjoy my new pen! So, I’ve decided to try a long awaited sample of Ku-jaku.

Thoughts After Cleaning the Pen

I didn’t quite get a full fill of the pen, and I suspect the nib is a wet-writer, as I went through this quickly. I did use it as often as possible, as I want to use my Christmas ink in this pen, so that helped contribute to its early empty state. I did surprisingly enjoy the ink, so much so that I think it’ll end up on my wishlist. I do not have many teal inks, and this one was a joy to use, but then all of Pilot’s Iroshizuku inks are.
