My household pet is my sourdough starter. It lives in the refrigerator and eats flour and water. Under the circumstances described, I would probably eat it. (Can I assume the raft does not also contain a sack of flour and an oven?)

Sounds like a plan.....Ferment and bake away on your Zodiac Hurricane. Just stop by the bay

so I can have some of your delicious bread. {happysmileyfacetimethingie}

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

Freddy and Helen,

I really enjoyed reading both of your quotes. The Judy Collins lyrics came at the right time to hit me in a deep way. Thanks to both of you for posting these!

A little flex with the Ahab, and my regular handwriting with the X750...

I get compliments on the flexed handwriting, but when I see what gets posted all over FPN, I don't think I'm even close. The flourishes are curlicues are still beyond me at this point. I want to take my flex writing further, but everywhere I've looked today keeps repeating the "oblique dip pen" mantra. I have a lot of down time at work where I can practice with my Ahab or 9128 Estie. A dip pen is really not an option. Where should I start looking to help improve?

Is that railroading intended? Or is it a result of pressing harder on a dry nib to coax more ink out of it?

I'm not criticising – just curious.

 

Cheers,

David.

      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
