I'm using a Sultan #6, filled with Robert Oster Khaki. I have also inked up a Guider egg with Akkerman (29) hofvijver grijs.post-123717-0-67060100-1483854936_thumb.jpgpost-123717-0-39126200-1483854996_thumb.jpg

Today I am using Gama Kuyil with Nib swapped with Kanwrite 35 mm Chrome EF nib and Sheaffer NNS feed. It is filled with Daytone Blue- Black ink.

My new Guider Raja eyedropper with fine nib. Just got some grease so filled up with Heart of Darkness and ready for endless note taking. I have no hesitation in saying this is the best looking pen I own and at £25 shipped a bargain.

F.P.R. Himalaya - Taj Mahal. 1.0 Stub. Ink - Diamine Burnt Sienna. The pen arrived this afternoon. Nib is smooth. Will be putting it through some paces before commenting. Do like the screw in converter--reminds me of the Monteverde Napa. fpn_1484430695__fprhimalaya.jpg

How are your stubs? There was an issue some time ago that the FPR stubs (were smooth and all but) looked too close to a Bold/rounded tip with hardly noticeable line variation.

Hero #232 Blue-Black is my Waterman Florida Blue.

Personally, I am satisfied with these 1.0 stubs. As noted they are smooth with rounded tips, not like a .true stub. However, they do aid in my 'unremarkable' handwriting. For line variation, I would use a flex nib. You can purchase a flex nib for your FPR pens. Of my Ahabs, only one has a flex nib on it.

Thanks! Sadly I'm what they call a "sidewriter" so I can't write with flex nibs. I hope you can post a writing sample of your FPR stubs :)

      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
