Nice to see another review of the M90. It's great to see that other people are enjoying this pen as much as I do!

Very nice review!! For a second review it is chock full of useful information. Plus your handwriting is extremely nice, keep it up!

 

Thank you! I enjoy writing the reviews! I hope to add a few more over the weekend.

 

I appreciate the complement on my writing as well--I have a bad habit of fluctuating between print/cursive and upper/lower case. As I write more for readability, I hope that I will naturally begin to be more consistent.

 

Pax vobiscum,

Thanks for the review. The more we have on the M90 the better. :)

 

Btw, could you please resize your images? Their posted dimensions are 1600x1200px. We strongly encourage people to size images no wider/longer than 800px. Not all browsers handle auto-resizing the same way. Images as large as yours end up causing horizontal scrolling, negatively impacting the usability of the review. Also, remember that not all of our membership is on high speed Internet. Images this size are slow to load. Reducing the dimensions along with good file compression will be a big improvement. Thank you!

No problem! I'll work on re-sizing this evening when I get home.

Very nice review and spot on accurate in your observations! When I got my M90, the cap was stuck so tightly I couldn't get it loose. Had to put it in the freezer for about thirty minutes, then dip it about 10 times in boiling water. After that I held it with a towel and pulled with all my might. Third pull it came loose--the tight fit must've been caused by its long flight from Japan and the jostling about. I have the fine nib on my M90 and it's a marvelous writer!

 

Many thanks for your review!

Good review.

 

I have a medium nibbed version but I have to say I think I prefer the the orignal. While I still love the design and wonder at its ingenuity, I find the springiness in the cap a little annoying and (this could be the medium nib) the line variation fairly minimal.

Lovely pen. Just ordered it not long ago and I'm hoping to pick it up at the post office tomorrow. Couldn't resist it, especially when it's a limited edition.

      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
