The great pen clean of 2026
I haven't really been using my pens since leaving my full time job 18 months ago for my mental health.
So quite a few of them were just left with ink in them, left forgotten in bags and all over the house.
Finally got around to rounding them up and giving them a clean. I'm amazed after seeing complaints in this sub about staining on TWSBIs that mine cleaned up pretty much straight away. I guess Pilot Iroshizuku Yama-budo (even in 18months of sun exposure) and Edelstein Golden Lapis (in the dark) aren't particularly staining or guess acidic inks.
Have fun figuring out about half of my collection from this picture. I wasn't able to find my Esterbrook JR so hopefully it turns up somewhere and I haven't left it behind somewhere many moons ago.
Got to love well made pens and the crap they can handle.
