Thanks for that, Leigh :thumbup: Love your comment about the green colours in the set.

 

(And FPN-P keeps deleting my account so that is a problem.... Will just have to say hi to Peter next time I am down. Direct flights now - yay!)

One for the ladies.

 

 

Oh dear, real men can and do use pink ink.

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

Real men wouldn't call it 'pink', or get all excited at flowers. Real men use motor oil and Guinness. :D

 

Bring on the Diamine 'real man' set.

I can just imagine the "real man" set: blood, ketchup, motor oil and lager. (You're welcome to it...personally I much prefer the Flower Set!)

Real men can and do like flowers. And pink. Preference for flowers and pink doesn't make you a "fake" man, somehow.

 

In the Victorian era pink was considered a manly colour, too strong and intense for women, and floral patterns were fairly commonplace in men's clothing. The gender associations have changed over time. Which suggests to me that they're not worth worrying about.

aren't motor oil and Guinness the same thing? ^_~

 

Nope. Guinness has a higher alcohol content! ;)

I dare you to come and visit my gardens and say this to my face.

I have always loved flowers. I love paintings of them and like to paint them.

 

I grow roses, orchids and a few wildflowers.

 

Pink paint is a necessity, usually mixed as needed.

 

Pink ink I might find hard to read, but the same holds for other light colors.

Are you saying that Noodler's El Lawrence tastes like Guinness? No wonder I like that ink so much! LoL

Real men like pink because that's how they know their steak is cooked. Real men not only like flowers, they garden.

I've just discovered these inks and am pretty impressed with them. These colours are exclusive to their flower set, I think, which makes them quite a bit more expensive that the 100 in their normal colour swatch ...£60 for 10 x 30 ml for their Flower Collection, so £6 for 30 ml as opposed to £5:90 for 80ml. That makes them quite exclusive.

With the new FPN rules, now I REALLY don't know what to put in my signature.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
