Spent some time yesterday night playing around with my Faber-Castell Ambition and Tsuki Yo ink.

Hi.

Now I'm using this unknown cheap fontain pen, made in Germany. Paid 5 € on eBay including shipment.

Ink: Pelikan 4001 Royal Blue on cartridge.

It writes smooth.

This pen seems to be a Jinhao 8812.

The Christmas decorations went up at home this weekend and things started to feel a lot more festive.

http://www.taskyprianou.com/me_xmas.jpg
The heating was on. A cup of tea & mince pie on the go. A perfect opportunity then to spend a little time with a Sailor 1911 H-M . . . The pen isn't mine though, I hired it.

Thanks to so many gorgeous nib photos and reviews here, I've wanted to add a Sailor to my family of pens for a long time and leapt at the chance to try one out.
Phwoar, that nib is pretty and this red & black version shows it off well. Thank you Jon Rabbett for having the courage to lend out such beautiful and delicate pens.
Trust is a beautiful thing.

I just received this Pilot Custom 74-M in the mail!

post-145190-0-89288500-1545905525_thumb.jpg

I had a bad experience with a CH 92-B in the past, but at the affordability this was from overseas and my own satisfaction in other Pilot Pens I thought I'd give this a try:

 

Came brand new, unopened, still sealed, and with tines perfectly aligned and a gloriously smooth nib that wrote perfectly OOTB.

 

My preference is a Jowo Medium size, have had trouble finding anything finer that I like, but this Japanese Medium is just what I have needed: A finer nib that writes as smooth as broader nibs without that added tooth and extra difficult feedback finer nibs can have.

 

I was nervous this would problematic, but the risk paid off to a high value pen I am very very happy with.

It has a con50 in it. I know, looks kind of funny. I actually do have a brand new con70 to put into it, but I wanted to make sure it at least worked well with Pilot inks. I have it inked with Iroshizuku Yama-guri and it is fabulous, buttery smooth, has good wetness and has seemed to have found a home in my shirt pockets it somehow made its way into :happy: .

TWSBI Eco in Blossom Red, with Robert Oster Red Candy. I ususally use Herbin Rouge Grenat in this pen, but i wanted to try Red Candy because, well, I'm trying ALL of Oster's latest, so I had to put the Red Candy in this one, because it matches so well!

I'm so pleasantly surprised by and impressed with the Nemosine Singularity Obsidian demonstrator I received from Pen Chalet on Christmas Eve, I just placed an order for half a dozen more Singularity pens (and $440 of other non-Nemosine products), mainly to give to acquaintances (who are already, or may be, interested in fountain pens) and spread the word about Nemosine.

A Fine nib that can reliably lay down a 0.3mm line, yet also allows writing with broader strokes, is a terrifc nib in my book.

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

      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
