I first saw this quote scrawled on a TTC bus (a public transit bus) about 5 years ago.

 

I used the half-uncial script with a no-name calligraphy pen inked with Noodler's Baystate Blue. I also used a Pilot Prera (with a Pilot 78G broad nib) inked with Diamine Marine. My fingers are stained with BSB. :)

Is it okay to use a dip pen

 

The initial post outlines the rules, and the very first one is fountain pens only. But that still leaves it wide open: there's really not all that much you cannot do with the right fountain pen/nib that you can do with a dip pen...

Not really a scribe, more of a Pharisee...

 

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Sometimes, new pens are buggy.

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

And some letters to brothers are better loved than others .....

 

 

This letter was an 18x24 sheet of newsprint. The pens were all fountain pens including some borrowed. All ink including the background is fountain pen ink. The letter is mostly a discussion of the fountain pens / ink and some news about home. Sorry the photo was so crummy, but I had to send the letter.

 

 

Purple for flower - Left over inks from cleaning bottles:

Akkerman Binnehof Blues, J. Herbin Blue Myostosis and vintage Skrip Red

 

Greens for leaves - Left over inks from cleaning bottles:

 

Akkerman Greens #25, 26, 27 and 28 with whatever leftover inks I had in my pens.

 

Written parts:

 

Mont Blanc Racing Green and Private Reserve Avocado Green on leaves.

 

On Rose -

 

Liberty Blue, Mont Blanc Violet, Luxury Blue, Pilot Murasaki-Snikobu

 

Blue Parts of Flower: Noodler's KTC

 

Silver: J. Herbin

Here's mine. Pens used (and in the picture), TWSBI Diamond 540 with 1.1mm italic nib and Esterbrook J, Copper with 9556 nib. Inks are Montblanc Irish Green (as shown in the picture) and Noodler's Kiowa Brown (not in the picture, I only have a sample size and didn't think the little vial really suited the photograph.

      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
