Great choice Tom, indeed. The nib creates nice effects especially when writing italic. Use the pen in the best health and enjoy. :thumbup:

Hi all,

just got another 3-42G, this one with a soft OBB. :D

What a joy to write with.

It's wet-n-bold OBB has enough flex to push its 1 mm line, easily to 2 mm, for those moments in life when two B's are just not enough!. and if that wasn't enough, it will write upside down giving you a fine line for small notation.

Besides the dynamics of it's writing ability, it is simple, reliable, serviceable and has a ink window, all prerequisites for a good daily writer.

Small, but mighty, simple but chic. The 3-42G is an affordable pen, with great writing characteristics. and best of all, will put a smile on your face,

 

Mark

A happy month for me! The Rouge et Noir black (EF) and coral (BB) version and ... the heritage 1912 (B) ! The 1912 instantly became my favorite pen , a combination of reasons and some I can't explain , a real one of a kind Montblanc !

Some great pens here. I have the coral ReN with a B nib and it is a fabulous pen. Am finding it hard to resist the black version now...

Do you find that your B nib is stubbish?

Yes not too thick but not a huge amount of line variation either so "-ish" is the correct description!

Thanks. I just popped into a boutique to test a B and BB. They were almost identical, but both had very nice line variation. I'm just trying to determine what my next nib will be. Cheers.

I am a big fan of the older .(narrower in my experience) monotone BB nib on a 144. However I prefer the B nib on a 145/.newer Classique models. Good hunting for nib! :) Edited by da vinci

Alfred Hitchcock rollerball and pen pouch :)

I never thought I would get any MB other than the classic 146/149 but the pen is soooooo nice! I think I caught the LE bug :P

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
