New Pen Day | Ayur Grey Sailor Pro Gear Slim Mini Unboxing, Writing Sample, and Size Comparison

[@tuanh5987]

This video is so helpful. I fell in love with the color gray of the pen and placed an order before I could do any research, so this video really helps me gain some insight and know what to expect once my pen arrives 🎉

[@snarkywordsworth]

I'm so glad the video was helpful! Did it arrive safely? I hope you're enjoying it. :) Thanks so much for watching.

@@snarkywordsworth I actually just received the pen a few days ago and I already formed a love-hate relationship with it. I love it because the nib is amazingly smooth, and I hate it because now I will want more Sailor fountain pens 🥹😂💚

Love this! Beautiful pen 🖤

Thank you so much for watching!

[@CreatingCuteArt]

I really loved this video. Great enthusiasm, cute pen, and Ioved your voice! New sub :)!

[@snarkywordsworth]

Awwww. Thank you so much for the kind words - and subbing! :)

Thank you lots for uploading! Yodaki is my favourite colour out of all of the ones you showed. I might get one later this year. I hope you upload more videos, I loved your style. Cheers!

[@snarkywordsworth]

I'm really excited to try Yodaki with the mini's MF nib. I don't know if it'll put down enough ink for the sheen to come through, but even if it doesn't, I love the base color. Thank you for watching!

Thanks so much for this video! I’ve been wanting a slim mini but so far my color of choice hasn’t been available! I didn’t think that the pen was as small as it is! Now I REALLY want one!

[@snarkywordsworth]

I'm so glad it was helpful! I hope you're able to track down the color you're looking for. Are you looking for a color from the Morocco line, BTW? I know JetPens still has most if not all that particular series still available.

[@lizdelisle1912]

@@snarkywordsworth I didn’t know about the Morocco line but the color I wanted is Ayur blue or navy.

[@snarkywordsworth]

@@lizdelisle1912 They do have the Ayur Blue and the Night Blue if that helps.

That’s a beautiful pen! Would you consider doing a pen collection video? You gave us a taste with the comparison, now I’m curious ( and nosey )! 😊

[@snarkywordsworth]

Awwww. Thank you! I didn't know if anybody would be interested, but I'll definitely think about a pen collection vid in the future if you feel it would be useful. :)

Nice pen

[@snarkywordsworth]

Thanks! 😄

HOw's the balance of the mini when capped? I own a pro gear slim and it's slightly backheavy. Thoughts on that TWSBI? I was thinking of getting one with a broad nib to have fun with a bunch of shimmer and colorful inks.

[@snarkywordsworth]

The two pens feel quite similar, but I do think the mini is SLIGHTLY less backheavy (though I don't personally find the PGS overly backheavy, so I might just not be too sensitive to that). The body of the mini is, of course, a little shorter, and the cap also sits a little tiny bit further on it, resulting in a bit more of a compact weight distribution. I hope this helps. Also, I really love the TWSBI diamond minis and would definitely recommend them. I have the one in the video with an EF nib that I regularly use when I'm on the go and another with the stub for fun inks, and I adore them both. I actually posted a video review for them from a month or so ago, if that would be useful. Thanks for watching!

[@graciousideals1509]

@@snarkywordsworth That cap explanation makes sense! I got a Realo as an early Father's day present and noticed it caps further down the body compared to the PG Slim. So it's probably the same thing with the Mini. I''ll have a look at the minis. The 580 caught my attention but the thought of a pocket pen sounds nice.

[@tiff4951]

Where did you order from? I can't seem to find the ink cartridge set anywhere

[@snarkywordsworth]

I ordered the set from Amazon Japan. Hope that helps!

[@snarkywordsworth]

Oh! And if you want the full set of 20 colors, I think PenSachi has that, too.

You need better focus camera 😉

[@snarkywordsworth]

Thank you for the feedback. I just use my phone camera for now, but I'll try and work on getting better at dealing with the focus on it.
