That is the first "bonus volcano" pic I've ever seen! Makes me feel like a weenie for complaining about a little snow. :)

 

 

Ditto and if I try and complain about the heat this summer, just smack me around a little.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

:W2FPN: Good to know I am not the only one using fountain pens to battle Maxwell's equations. :-)

 

Just last year i was battling with them with my trusty safari too!, and after 12 years since i last saw any math in college... that course i passed, did fail the signals and systems course, stupid Fourier and Laplace transforms XD... should've enquired as to what i needed to have fresh math-wise for the telecommunications part of the Masters hehe. I knew what i needed to do, just didn't remember the result of the transform or how to do them hah, and didn't have them in my cheat-sheet oh well.

My Lamy Safari is always in my line up too.

 

the safari is good for everyday use. im left-handed and find this nib smooth. its comfortable if you use to write many pages (my case).

the black nib is somewhat smoother, or it may be the ink...

yes, we also had topics on FT and LT.

it may be indeed tricky sometimes. in exams its important to know the content, but even more important is be able to do it in time

I thought that it was a mechanical pencil! Very Interesting pen.

 

Today evening I thought it is time to draw an own handmade avatar.

Ptero always amaze me with his drawings. Congrats for new avatar!

Here is a photo of the "guts" - the section (remaining part of the rubber sac not yet scraped off), internal wire part, and screw-in stylo (I suppose it could be called a nib, but I don't think that's right). The part that had me worried is that the middle wire part floats freely inside the section, but tringle assured me this is ok. So far the pen works flawlessly - my first try ever with such an animal. I don't think I will be giving up fountain pens, but these stylos are pretty interesting. I think somewhere I have a whole box of NOS stylos - I'll have to have a look now that I've done this one.

Sotto, I have a couple of pairs of socks like that. :D

Do they both have the standard fine nib?

Uncle Red: Yup, both nibs are the standard German iridium in Fine, and they both write like a butterfly.

All the gorgeous handwriting and shiny things make me hesitate to share this, but I've got a currentish picture, so I'll share it:

The vintage pen was a complete shot in the dark, and I'm thrilled with how well it writes, and with the fine nib. The Metro is nice, too, and I have no fear of taking it places.

      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
