Hello, I’m Aizawa. To tell you the truth, I’ve been fretting about this post since the theme was first decided. You see, I’m not deep into the “techo swamp,” nor am I a stationery nerd. In fact, I’m the type of person who rarely gets hooked on anything at all. So, let me briefly and shallowly showcase an irresistible item for a lazy person like myself.

The Platinum: Preppy Fountain Pen Fine Fine



When you’re part of the techo team, everyone uses fountain pens so naturally that it’s easy to forget... but they’re supposed to be difficult to use at first, right?

Before I discovered the Preppy, my image of fountain pens was something like this:
・Expensive
・Heavy
・High-maintenance
・Refilling ink seems like a pain
・Only for special occasions

Basically, I didn’t think it was something anyone could easily use. However, the Platinum: Preppy Fountain Pen F is:
・Affordable (¥660)
・Light
・Zero maintenance
・Easy to change the ink
・A smooth writer

In short, it’s a “fountain pen that feels like a ballpoint.”
Now, for those of you thinking, “well, if it feels like a ballpoint, why not just use a ballpoint?” I thought the same thing! In fact, I’ve mostly been using ballpoint pens this year. But looking back at my techo now, I’ve realized that the shading of the ink and the slight, irregular bleeding here and there actually created a really nice atmosphere.



I think I'll write in my techo with my Preppy today for the first time in a while.

Enjoy the next member's post.
