Thanks Bob, I like this color.

 

hh1990​ - good job. Is this a Pilot Parallel with original red ink? The larger nib size and font size gives a more beautiful contrast on thin / thick lines.

 

Thanks.

Sorry Andrew, I completely missed this. Yes, that was 1.5 mm Pilot Parallel with a Pilot Red Mixable Ink cartridge.

Thanks Bobje. I’ve only started writing again, for fun, after many years of almost nothing more than a few words.

Sorry for not mentioning it in the original post. The ink is MB Shakespeare Velvet Red in a Dollar Pen with a sharpened nib grafted from a Hero Calligraphy pen.

Hey, David,

 

That's a really pretty pen -- ebonite or wood? Love the triangular shape, write comfortably?

 

And, as usual, your hand is top-notch.

 

Enjoy,

Randal

Yours,

From a person's actions, we may infer attitudes, beliefs, --- and values. We do not know these characteristics outright. The human dichotomies of trust and distrust, honor and duplicity, love and hate --- all depend on internal states we cannot directly experience. Isn't this what adds zest to our life?

Thanks, Randal!

 

The pen is in ebonite - "Vesuvius" by SEM. With a round section, the pen is exceedingly comfortable.

      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
