Its silhouette is purposeful and refined, with a mirror-black luster that reveals the quiet depth only hand-applied urushi can achieve. For writers who appreciate substance in the hand and an effortless line on the page, this is a flagship expression of Pilot's craft.

Craftsmanship & Design

Shaped from warm, lightweight ebonite and finished with multiple layers of black urushi, the Custom Urushi invites close inspection. The lacquer is applied and polished in Japan to a high gloss that accentuates the pen's clean lines and gentle curvature. Gold-finished trim provides a measured contrast, while the broad cap band and classic clip add heritage cues without distraction. It is a large pen by intent, yet the balance and tactile comfort of the lacquered section keep it approachable for long sessions.

Urushi is valued not only for its depth and glow, but also for its durability. Over time, the finish develops a subtle presence that reflects careful use rather than wear. The screw-cap closure is deliberate and secure, with threads that engage smoothly and a cap that seals well to preserve ink and nib readiness between writings.

Writing Experience

At the heart of the Custom Urushi is Pilot's No. 30 18k gold nib, a rare attribute in modern production pens. Tuned for consistent flow and understated control, it lays down a confident line with a hint of responsive spring rather than overt flex. The generous feed keeps pace during faster notes and sweeping signatures alike. Available in Medium-Fine, Medium, and Broad, each width showcases the nib's hallmark smoothness while maintaining the precision for which Pilot is known.

The pen uses Pilot's proprietary cartridge-converter system and is compatible with the high-capacity Con-70 converter. This pairing suits the nib's appetite for consistent ink delivery and offers practical flexibility for those who rotate colors or travel. In hand, the lacquered section provides gentle traction, and the overall weight remains comfortable despite the pen's commanding size.

Heritage & Provenance

Pilot has been shaping the language of Japanese fountain pens since 1918, with urushi work forming a throughline from early Namiki artistry to contemporary flagships. The Custom Urushi sits where daily usability meets traditional finishing, honoring historic techniques while embracing modern reliability. It is a pen made to be written with, yet it carries the quiet culture of Japanese lacquer to every desk it graces.

Finally, a Loofah That Isn't Skimpy
I’ve gone through my fair share of bath puffs, and usually, they’re pretty disappointing—either they’re super thin or they fall apart before you even get a good lather going. These Amazon Basics ones are a total breath of fresh air because they’re actually nice and full. They have that dense, fluffy mesh that makes even a tiny drop of body wash turn into a ton of bubbles, which is exactly what you want. The size is perfect, and unlike those cheap, flimsy ones, these actually have enough texture to exfoliate your skin and get it feeling smooth without being too scratchy. They also have a sturdy little rope so you can hang them up to dry easily. I honestly liked these so much that I’ve already bought them a second time. If you’re looking for a simple shower upgrade that actually does its job, you really can’t go wrong with these.

A Spa Experience at Home
I absolutely love this bath loofah—it’s one of those small upgrades that makes a big difference in my routine. The texture is just right: firm enough to exfoliate and leave my skin feeling super smooth, but still gentle so it’s not irritating. It lathers up beautifully with just a little bit of body wash, making every shower feel like a mini spa session. The quality is great—no unraveling or falling apart after multiple uses, and the loop makes it easy to hang and dry quickly. I’ve noticed my skin feels noticeably cleaner and softer since I started using it regularly. If you’re looking to elevate your shower experience, this loofah is a must-have. Affordable, durable, and refreshing—I’m definitely buying more for backups and gifts!

Good Quality!
Much larger than I expected. Good quality. I have been using for a month now and it is holding up very well. Great value too. So much better than cheap dollar store versions I have bought in the past.
