Care Instructions

Filling/Changing Ink Colours:

  • Unscrew to remove the barrel from the grip section and access the converter.
  • Place the fountain pen nib fully into warm water. Flush the nib by twisting/untwisting the converter until the water runs clear.
  • Allow 1 day to dry.
  • Fill a new colour by fully submerging the nib and feeder into the ink, then draw the ink into your pen but twisting the converter until you’ve reached the top position.


Notes:

  • For heavily saturated inks and darker tones, or clogged nibs, you may need to soak the grip/feeder in water overnight
  • It is normal for some air bubbles to enter the converter when refilling ink

Nice to look at, but...

This isn't a good pen to actually write with. The design on the grip is cute, but the shape of it makes it actually painful to try to use for longer periods of time. The ink seems to flow well from it, that's no problem, it's just that it's so very uncomfortable to hold.

A gift

I purchased this as a gift for my boyfriend who has been getting into fountain pens, the design and color are perfect. As always the packaging is beautiful (he loves bears so it's the perfect one!)

Bearrington Black

The Aluminum Carousel Fountain Pen in Bearrington Black features a unique engraving on the grip, which adds a nice touch of personality and style. However, a notable downside is that it uses the same tip as the standard Carousel model, meaning the main upgrade is the aluminum body rather than an enhanced writing experience. While the pen looks sleek and feels great in hand, those seeking improved performance might find it a bit lacking. Overall, it's a solid choice for aesthetics, but it could be more innovative in terms of functionality.
