Art did a Baoer Medium to a cursive Italice and a Broad Levenger TW to a stub!! I don't have anything too fancy for working on, but was wondering if I should take my medium Reform demonstrator done as it's pretty boring as is. The only other choices would be a Phileas, Laureat or a Harmonie. Any ideas or suggestions??

 

I love the two I have, but the Baoer nib is rather soft and I'm afraid it may not last that long.

So, what's your point?

(Mine is a flexible F.)

No ideas or suggestions. I'm afraid I'm not familiar with any of those pens! If it were me, I'd probably send the one that I found boring to use, though. I'm a big fan of pens that use #6 nibs so that I can swap interesting nibs between a variety of pens.

Send them all!

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

I teach my kids that the correct answer to

 

"Why does my sibling get to do x, when I don't?"

 

is

 

"Because Mommy loves me more."

I wish my mommy had cool fountain pens and ink that I could use. My mom used to tell me that she tried to turn herself in to the used mommy store, but they wouldn't take her back. :lol:

HA! You're both wrong - he likes me better and I'm next in line (well, after Amber of course). He already has my nibs so get in line, suckas!! :P

I am offended. And hurt. That is not fair! :crybaby: Ok, I don't care actually. I still have Amber's loaner so my life is complete for now until I get my own Tomahawk! :bunny01:

 

P.S. What is the funniest part of this whole thing is that is has set in stone my need for italic nibs. I've tried to re-profile two nibs since (just for fun and not really at all like Art's) and I swear, my first ever attempt was smoother. Is it possible that my "skills" can get worse over time? Art probably cast a curse on me so I buy endless amounts from him. :lticaptd:

Nah, no curse, just beginners fluke. Happens to me all the time! :D It's the Universe's way of messing with us.

The Tomahawk is worth waiting for and, knowing Art, you won't be waiting long. :)

 

I know what you mean about Art's work changing your perspective. Between him and Amber, I now love B nibs and all flavors of stubs and have zero tolerance for any nib that's not glassy smooth.

      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
