My Retirement

I am sad to report, that I am going to Retire from doing pen reviews, we do need to take into consideration that this hobby is expensive, and I just do not have the money to keep on getting pens/ink/paper for reviews, also I have too much on in real life, I may be getting a job soon, so that will make it hard to do reviews, also I have a Cert III in Retail to finish, I have to also finish my 40 hours of work experience, and after that I may have work there, so any days I have free will be spent sleeping from my busy weeks, I will leave the blog up and leave the old reviews up for people to read over, so the last two reviews I posted will be my last ones, until I get the time to do this again, I guess you could say I am going on a long hiatus until further notice, but I will be back, just at the moment I need to Retire for a bit.

I hope everyone enjoys writing with their pens, ink and paper.
All I have to say now, is:
Write on!

The nib when in reverse writing is a stub!!!

If you rotate the nib, you will get some scratching,
The nib sings, and that can be a pain,
The nib may be so smooth, that it does not feel nice to use.

Side note: If you can't read my writing, I will update the post and add what I said into the review, let me know in a comment if that needs to be done! :-)
