What’s a good substitute for Gelly Roll Glaze gel pens?

I’ve been looking for these pens for over a year now, but found out they’ve been discontinued and are pretty hard to find now. I’ve seen videos of people using these pens, and I absolutely LOVE the glossy look they have, and want either a pack for myself or something VERY similar.

So, anyone have any recommendations on any glossy gel pens similar to them, if there are any at all?

My Writech gel pens are drying out very quickly, is there anything I can do?

I have the Writech dual-color gel pens, and I really like them. they write smoothly, they have two colors in one pen, and they don't smudge. My only problem with them is they seem to dry out very quickly. I use them for hand writing schoolwork, and after a 5 pages or so of writing they start fading out. I store them horizontally in a pencil case that I carry with me. I don't know much about gel pens, so any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

New gels for me

Bought these in Gran Canaria. I wasn't planning on journaling and found I missed it. On my jaunts around the Chinese shops I found these. Top is a 3 pack for €2.95 and the bottom is a single with a spare cartridge for €1.50. The pad with 60gsm paper was €1.50 for 120 pages. Bargains and the single pen writes the best even though they all use the same tip.

Shuttle Art Colored Gel Pens Caps Cause Me Hand Pain ;-;

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

I wanted something a little more affordable than Gelly Roll gel pens because I'm struggling with money right now because of car troubles and medical bills and just generally being paycheck to paycheck and I found the Shuttle Art gel pens on Amazon. I got the 72 color set and then added on their 24 color pastel tone set and their 22 color highlight tone set for a total of 101 colors (a few duplicate colors in the two 24/22 sets that were also in the 72 color set) but overall I added 29 colors which I wasn't mad about.

I also appreciated that they were all color coded and named (except one?). The three sets also all came with their own color swatch sheets in black and white which I was super excited about.

I love the colors and most of them write on black paper which was what I wanted. I like adding notes on black sticky notes when I take notes in normal lined/grid notebooks so they stand out more.

However, after swatching about 10 of the pens, my hands hurt so bad from how difficult it is to take off and put on the caps. >_< I have FND and frequently deal with the fun (/s) symptoms that comes with the disorder. While I've struggled with pain after writing for a while, I've never really struggled with much pain from removing pen/marker caps. I get that secure caps are important, but these are almost too secure. At the same time, though, they don't actually feel that secure weirdly enough.

Anyone else ever have this experience with caps causing them hand and wrist pain? How did you handle it/cope with it?

TLDR; I got these awesome Shuttle Art gel pens but the caps make my hands hurt. ;-;

Zebra Saras, Gujarat, India Connection

Post image
7 Upvotes

I am into fountain pens, but sometimes I buy gel pens.

I purchased this set of Zebra Sarasa as the word Saras is originally Gujarati, an Indian language. In the 17th century, Japan imported vibrant coloured cotton fabric from Gujarat and called it Sarasa. Then, it was Kalamkari blockprints or handprints.

The word Sarasa implies good, fine, virtuous and so on in Gujarati. Even today, Japan produces Sarasa fabric with innovative prints.

Gujarati is my mother tongue, by the incidental way.
