Mini review of a pen set: Writech Journal Kit in Earth Tones

I got a Writech journaling set because it seemed unique in two ways. One, it's an usual color set for a bujo set. 99% of all pen sets seem very focused on the pinks or on femme color schemes. I am always looking for products that are, or can be, neutral or masculine. Two, rather than being several colors of the same type of pen or marker, it's two gel pens, two brush pens, a fineliner, two highlighters and two dual tip markers.

The colors I got are Autumn vibes and the highlighters are grey and brown, very unusual highlighter colors. The kits so also come in other color ways like blues and purples.

The pens, pen test sheet and also how the highlighters look over each color







I've never used Writech before, but I am impressed so far.

ooooh, it's got lovely metallic vibes to it in the highlighters!

I really like that color set! And the inclusion of different types of pen and marker is very cool.

Those are so nice. I love the colors. And they look so nice together as a set.

Thanks for sharing with us. :)

The Zebra Mildliners have grey and brown highlighters, too. And Stabilo Boss also has a gray one.

I don't know if ordering from Jetpens is an option for you, but this highlighter sampler they have is all greys/browns: https://www.jetpens.com/JetPens-Highlighter-Sampler-Neutral/pd/27828. It doesn't have the Stabilo one we were talking about, but it can be ordered separately, and all the highlighers in the sampler can be ordered separately.

I've only ever bought highlighters twice in my life, so I've never paid much attention until recently to what's available in the stores, but I've noticed recently that Zebra Mildliners are available around here in a limited fashion (not any of the more exotic colors). I've not looked for Stabilo.
