I love the Noodler's Black Swan, AU. and use it daily. I have a Kaweco calligraphy set where it gets a lot of use as well.

 

Love your penmanship!

Thanks, Chas0039.

 

I was considering BS in ER vs Noodlers Beaver when Garuda Red occurred to me. BS in ER is constantly loaded in one of my best writers, a Conway Stewart Belliver with an amazing custom italic nib.

WOW, looks great :yikes:

 

Thanks, Uncle Red.

 

It looks even better "in person." But you knew that.

Beautiful pen and writing. Thank you for sharing!

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

Beautiful pen, beautiful writing! Etruria has been on my radar for quite some time now but after my latest pen purchases it will have to wait for a couple of months at least. And that ink! Akkerman inks just look so nice to me, I really want to buy me some bottles but I just can't justify paying the price of the bottles for shipping cost. If only someone I knew was going to the NL...

 

As for my favorite shading inks! Well, the ink that I experienced the most shading with is Diamine Kelly Green, simply crazy shading. I'm at work now so I can't provide a picture but I will have to remember to post some when I get home. The only problem with that ink is that it is too light colored.

 

Another favorite of mine is the MB Toffee Brown, it has great shading also. Yet another is Edelstein Amber, it had crazy shading with my M1000 with an M nib (which writes more like a B).

 

Kon-Peki is another good shader and as far as I am concerned the best ink from the Iroshizuku line. Weirdly enough Kon-Peki also has sheen around the letter edges.

Beautiful pen.

Shading often depends much on the paper. IMO should be 90g minimum, and laser if you can get it.

I strive to buy only shading inks.

R&K is tops there.

      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
