preserved in writing has any possibility of

As of 0000 Local Time.....I am using a Pilot Custom Original (Black, 14k EF nib) inked with Iroshizuku take-sumi for my daily journal entries....NO MORE ROLLERBALL!!:)

For my cursive practice.....i still rotate several pens (with EF nibs) with different inks.....

Was hoping to use my newly-acquired Parker 45.....alas, the M nib writes too wet and wide for my journal "needs"....:(

Happy New Year to ALL!!

 

Always try to get the dibs.....on fountain pens with EF nibs!!

I wish everyone a happy, healthy, prosperous and fulfilled 2016, and beyond.

Now THAT's a gorgeous pen! Nice captures and (as usual) spectacular penmanship.

 

In the meanwhile, I'm using my TWSBI Vac 700 (1.1 stub), inked with Diamine Eau de Nil. Interesting shading.

Practice, patience, perseverance

Doesn't stain much. Surprisingly, two lighter Diamine inks, Havasu Turquoise and Prussian Blue, are much nastier in terms of staining / cleaning.

Practice, patience, perseverance

      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
