Review on Kuretake Zig BRUSHABLES BLACK - Dual-Tipped, Waterproof Pen for Mess-Free, High-Quality, Archival Work, Made in Japan by Doris Tran

I've always kept an eye on these pens because I've seen some of the reviews on YouTube. I have about 25 different types of writing brush pens, so I have a good idea of what a decent brush pen should look and feel like. Unfortunately, the one I bought here at Revain wore out from the start (which unfortunately happens from time to time). If this pen wasn't $5, I think the frayed tip would be easier to swallow. It was very difficult to make thin upward strokes with both sides of the brush nib, and that's one of the biggest factors in whether I like the nib or not. I have no idea if I can get it back (I suspect I can't, but I might be pleasantly surprised). Also note that this brush is bigger than the size of a grave, so it's definitely in the big category.
