Thanks ErrantSmudge! I can't wait to try it!

I am the tarot reading, bookworm, whiskey drinking, witchcraft practicing, old fashioned writing, aunt Beasty in my family and I love it. Tarot readings for sale or trade, especially ink as I've lost all of my pen stuff from a bad burglary last year. And I need penpals! Anyone interested, please PM me!

I received the package in the mail, it came with written samples. Was that japanese paper?

 

I have the return package with the written sample, and more, ready to ship on Monday.

I didn't think it would get there that quickly! But you live close to me.

 

Yes, the written samples I provided are on Japanese paper - Tomoe River. Every Canyon Rust recipient gets a set.

 

The second and final batch of samples will get mailed out on Tuesday. I'm skipping the Post Office this Monday because it's tax filing deadline and I want to avoid the lines!

I got the sample today! Really loved the written sample sheets, plus i can doodle on the back of one and see how tomoe paper writes! The paper's a lot thinner than what I thought it would feel like.

 

Your letter will be dropped in the mailbox tomorrow, ErrantSmudge!

The post office had a short line today. I told the lady I would have an other package tomorrow and she told me "Don't come tomorrow!". Anyone in the USA that has not filed their taxes yet and need to snail mail them, good luck tomorrow!

Looks like I was off by a day. Tax deadline is Tuesday, I will mail out the second batch of samples Wednesday.

 

AdrielGray, there is a little bit of space left on the front of one of the sample sheets. If I were doing this again, I would have tossed in a blank sheet for you to try out.

      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
