I've had my eye on this pen for a long time (thanks Reddit, haha), and I've wanted to try iroshizuku inks too. Found both for a decent discount, so finally pulled the trigger ๐Ÿ˜

The 2000 is a lovely pen! What nib do you have? I have an EF.

I went with the F nib. I have briefly tried an EF nib (on a Safari), and didn't mind it, but I worry that it might feel a bit dry and scratchy for regular or prolonged writing (for my tastes). I also find that M nibs are a little bit on the wet side (depending on the ink), so F seems like a good middle ground.

Any ink recommendations?

Iโ€™ve used the EF nib on a Safari, and found it horribly scratchy. But fortunately, the 2000 uses a different style of nib, and I find it very nice to use; not exactly super smooth, but not harsh at all.

My go-to ink is Iroshizuku Asa-gao. I do want to try Herbin at some point as well.
