Honestly, a guy at the Philly pen show told me his secret for making shimmer inks not clog.

Tbh, the "just shake it" advice misses the point with shimmer inks. The guy at the show told me he adds one tiny drop of dish soap to a whole bottle. It breaks the surface tension so the glitter stays mixed in the feed way better. It's a game changer for my cheaper pens that always clogged before.

What secret, just shake the pen before you write?

Shaking a pen is just basic maintenance, not some magic trick. It gets ink flowing in old ballpoints, that's it. People act like it's a life hack for perfect writing.
