Today, my third and amber color Essential arrived. I didn't like this kind of colors at all, I thought it was like more reddish, anyway, I came home, was thinking maybe MrPen would accept exchanges with black one, but how a shipping back and forth to England would be great pain in the neck. then it came to my mind there is a black one sitting in the drawer and what if I exchange barrel and the cap, when changing them I figured cap,barrel combinations would be interesting. And ta-daa there was a great combination for me guess which one.

 

 

First pic, for whom curious about them: All Essential colors with a same size Noodler's Ahab Demonstrator, feed is hacked and nib is smoothed by me..

The ink is Noodler's Red-Black, One drop od dish washer fluid added in a full converter for increasing flow with great success, well in the last 1/4 inkof converter, success became just too much of a success. :)

Mix 'n match....

 

Nice idea.

 

I do like the amber.

 

Italix is still somewhere on my list.... and that amber is appealing.

 

Thanks for showing

 

 

Are his italic nibs crisp or cursive? I like a cursive nib myself.

They've got all kinds, crisps, crisp obliques and cursive stubs. Check their web site out.

Does anyone know offhand what converters fit in the Parson's? The schmidt one that came with mine is leaking after only 4 fills... are there any other options? Can't even really disassemble the schmidt one either... Nice color combos by the way.

Have you contacted Peter Ford at Mr. Pen? I'm sure he will sort the problem out for you.

Mrpen sells them also Goulet pens sells better ones.

Looks like a bumblebee.

 

I rather like the color of the blue pen. The black is classic (love mine) but that blue is gorgeous. I may have to put some money aside for one.

      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
