I received this today, and it's a good pen, but not what I expected. I ordered
it together with the Borneol Fragrant Brush Pen, and this pen is not any
finer---they're shaped exactly the same. The barrel of the Sutra Writing pen is
a different color (a handsome brown with glitter), and it has NO SCENT.
Otherwise the two seem to be just alike. Their brush-tips are the same size
(finer than the Kuretake #30 I also got), both write very well, with the spring
and dramatic very-fine-to-very-broad responsiveness I love in hair-brush pens,
and both are waterproof---after their ink had dried for just a few minutes, a
thirty-second soak didn't budge it at all. My first impression is that it's a
great pen---I would recommend hair brush pens to anyone, artists especially, and
this is a good example of the breed for a very reasonable price---just don't buy
it expecting it to have a scent or be finer than the fragrant pens.
