Hmm..I wouldn't pick those two since they are steel nibbed and I don't like their styling. My dad has a Parker duofold black and though its a nice pen and a decently smooth writer, I don't really like its style/looks. At higher prices I much prefer Graf von Faber-Castell or Pelikan LE pens...

What are you looking for in a pen? Weight/length? Gold or steel nib preference? Specialty nibs (stub/italic/flex/music)? C/C or piston filler? For under $200 I wouldn't go with an european or american brand; most of their gold nib pens start at around $400.   At $200 or less some good choices...

I don't know where you live (okay, it says on your profile but you get what I mean) but iroshizuku ink doesn't cost $28 USD a bottle. Here in Vancouver the shops that carry bottled inks sell diamines or j herbin's for around $12 CAD and up. Add taxes and that's at least $13+ per bottle...

Too. mainstream. lol jk but kpop stuff is really ez to find, just do a google/yt search for new stuff.

Holy moly that's EXPENSIVE! I don't think I would pay more than $25USD for a bottle, considering I get them for around $19.50-$24 USD/(bottle+shipping) from amazon.com. You do know that there's a certain japanese e-retailer(and he ships worldwide) that sells them for $13.50 USD/bottle, right? 

Turns out I don't like the Lamy CP1, its too skinny for my tastes yet as heavy/heavier than most 'regular' fountain pens. So I'm giving that one to my dad (he absolutely loves the slim metal design and dense feel of it) and ordered a Platinum #3776 Century on ebay.

Glad you're enjoying your new headphones. Personally I thought they got even better with a bit of burn-in/usage.

That's good to know. How long does a full cartridge/fully inked pen usually last?   I might have to grab a bottle of ama-iro and kon-peki in the future. What can I say? I'm a sucker for those blue beauties.   Anyways, Merry Christmas and enjoy your holidays!

Just joined the pen-fi club. For Christmas I'm getting my first fountain pen, a Lamy CP1. But the inks I ordered are gonna be a bit late . Ordered two Pilot Iroshizuku inks, Shin-kai and Kosumosu after reading great reviews on the lineup.   BTW does anyone want to share about what inks they...

You could just order it off Amazon and compare to the regular edition, then return the one you don't like as much.

From the pictures so far it looks like layla and angie are HUGE earpieces. Maybe JH audio should think about improving ergonomics and fit before they hype their products. At this point its not much of a choice for me between se846 and angie if the angie sticks out so much like the layla does.

Word.
