Wow, I just have to say: exquisite handwriting!

 

:: :blush:: :blush:: :blush:::

 

Aw, thanks, sirgilbert357. I truly appreciate the kind words.

Why are there fourteen samples of dark plum ink on my desk? Because I still haven't found the right shade.

Is that a problem...??? : : : sigh : : :

 

Update: Great. Finally found one I love (Lamy Dark Lilac) but I can't get more. Ah, life in my inky world....

Yes, we do have a UK loaner program!

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Might anyone have a Vac Mini up for loan in the next month or so? Money is tight after the holidays and while I love my Vac700, I'm almost afraid the Vac Mini might have too narrow a section for my liking, so I'd rather try one before investing in one of my own.

Can someone explain to me the nibs I am seeing in this thread?

At one time, Art was customizing nibs and he did a special nib for the TWSBIs which he called a Tomahawk. That nib is one that you see above. Art had to shut down and return pens so I can't recommend him at this time, but if you get a chance to buy a Tomahawk nib, buy it.

 

Another wonderful nib customization for the TWSBI is Pendleton's Bad Boy.

Ah, if only, if only, if only. But sadly even though I want to get a TWSBI, you'd probably never consider a bronze member. Also, my parents are not very supportive of me getting addicted to FP, even if, according to The Pen Addict, that there are worse addictions, right? :P

I wonder if you could show me pics of the nibs you have... I'm the hard as nails Japanese XF F guy who hardcores everything. I bought my first non-black ink a few minutes ago on Goulet, so I want a nice stub or something to go with it. Can I see some pics of your 1.1 mm stub?

Congrats!

 

And look up above on the thread. That's one of my stubs up there with a custom nib.

      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
