Some copy work for practising ERH... (please excuse the copy errors). I wrote this with an Esterbrook 355 and IG ink on Rhodia paper.

The 355 works much better at about half the x-height, but I was much too lazy to do guidelines... I also did it quite condensed, so I could fit more text to the line.

Very impressive. A very different look. I like it. Excellent control!

Something to aspire to...

Lovely,

Thank you.

Wish we had more (and easier) variety of scripts/fonts to use here on FPN.

Just my opinion. I am appreciative of FPN the way it is too.

Le petit prince! Et en français! My father read it to me some 40 years ago, and every time I read it I can almost hear his voice. Thanks.

 

Nice handwriting. I improved my Palmer a lot, but am afraid I lack the discipline to get into Spencerian or English Roundhand. It looks beautiful, though.

      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
