I'd been lusting after one of these pens for a while and was gifted one as a present.
I love it, it's a nice weight to write with so fits and stays nicely in your hand. No lid to lose as it's part of the pen. The replaceable nibs and cartridges makes it a great crafting pen for switching out colours instead of storing loads of different colour pens.
The pen itself glides over all different types of paper and is really lovely to write with.
It requires so much less pressure to actually get the ink on to the paper than standard pens, which means I can have a lighter relaxed grip which is great for those with hypermobility.
My Wren arrived earlier this week and it's already my main writing pen for taking notes. Really lovely feel, and nice to fidget with when you're not writing but stuck in a meeting. The writing angle on it is good too, not so vertical as you find with fineliners (it's to replace a Sakura PN which doesn't do so well with natural writing positions).
Easy to refill, and the sample ink that comes with it is a lovely dark grey blue colour. Raspberry is a very hot pink, which stands out (and fits in with more accessories on my desk than I realised).
It all arrived very fast (next business day!) and well packaged. A good gift for yourself or anyone who does a lot of (or a little) writing.
A treat for me to try and get back to writing instead of typing
These are beautiful pens and really feel like a gift to yourself. It's also really nice to buy something that isn't disposable with the act of refilling the pen being incredibly satisfying itself. The feel of the pen is lovely whether you're writing with it or you've capped it. It's a pen you really want to use and I'm hoping it will help me re-establish a habit of writing my notes on paper as a change from typing everything
I have been using these for years and I still love them. They work very well, with both cold and hot water washes and they last us months. I recommend them!
I've been using the tins for years – they work – but thought this would be more likely to be used by a 13-year-old boy. It's hit and miss – but that's more to do with the boy than the product!
... not 'warm' water which it says on the packet. And you need to stir it really well to get rid of all the lumps, otherwise it will clog up your soap dispenser. It doesn't actually say on the packet how much water you should use. I think it says 380ml on this site but I used 400 to make it last a bit longer.
