Conid Minimalistica Vs. Regular?


tgoto

Recommended Posts

I've always preferred the softer rounder lines of the Full Demo Minimalistica, much closer to the beautiful fluid design(s) of the CAISO King Size; the Regular Bulkfiller seems a little more staid, severe, ... engineered .

 

I had the Regular and sold it when Conid finally decided to produce the Full Demo Minimalistica.

Both write beautifully . It took me a day or two to adjust to the non section of the Minimalistica, noticeably thicker than the concave section on the Bulkifller.

 

"... the cap of the Minimilastica can be a bit of a hassle, while the threaded cap of the Bulkfiller is perfection."

 

My experience is the opposite. I like the push cap on the Minimalistica and the Regular seemed to be a little less than perfect when the barrel unscrewed itself from the cap while clipped into my jacket pocket.

Sorry to revive a latent thread. I ordered the new Minimalistica from Fontoplumo as it's a LOVELY pen with the orange ebonite end caps. I ordered the nib in fine and it writes very well. However as I continue to use it, the nib writes wetter and wetter and I don't really have to unscrew the piston to let the ink flow. Has this got something to do with the metal rod at the end of the nib housing?

      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
