Hi NS,

 

Thanks for the review! Looks like a nice blue to me, on the monitor of my laptop anyway.

 

I have a question for you, BTW: what size is the paper you used to write the review on? I am trying to guess how fine your Parker writes, in order to get an idea of the nib width.

 

Thanks in advance,

Kind regards,

Wim

I am using my Parker 51 Vacumatic with a medium nib. The paper I use is a standard ruled writing tablet made by MEAD. dimensions are 6 X 9 inches or for my metric system friends it is 15.2 X 22.8 CM I hope that helps.

 

BTW this is pretty good writing paper for it being cheap. 3.50 for 200 sheets

Thank you, NS.

 

Ok, that means you were wrting big, but not as big as I thought initially. Seems that the medium is a bit on the wide side, though. Or is this just a very wet writer?

 

Thanks,

Wim

Well, kind of all of the above :lol: I have a heavy hand, most of my pens have medium nibs, and they all seem to be wet writers. I love writing with wet noodles!!! :doh:

NS,

Thanks for the review. I like this less the longer I use it. At first, it seems to be a nice middle of road blue. Now it just seems like a boring blue.

This is a bit disappointing.

 

I had bought bottle of the limited edition run, with signed certificate bottle number 5/1000 hoping that it would be something special.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
