I've been practicing my daily shaded hand, but obviously not my spelling.

Very nice. Also, I like the ink. Are you using a straight or oblique holder? Have you had any luck with white ink? Just wondering...

this is a good word for practice with letter spacing and lifting/sliding your hand during long words ... (and a good exercise for remembering where you're at on paper during spelling long words too ... going back and crossing t's and dotting i's ... and deciding when to do that is kind of fun with this word as well ... )

I believe I actually "draw" my letters too much ... so I read that some good exercises for this was to use chalk and a chalk board (to get whole arm movements going). Hummmm ... I don't have access to that ...

 

So ... perhaps a writing app (I used NoteShelf) and a full sized iPad would work ???

Dip stub nib vs. dip super flex nib. Both writing with same ink, same paper, same size guidelines. Straight holder, modified, home-brewed blue black fountain pen ink with gum arabic - Canson Marker paper.

 

Next step, develop a better style suited for a stub nib rather than writing like it's a flex.

I love the smell of fountain pen ink in the morning.

      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

      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
