northstar, stunning portrait!

 

Today I've used my Faber-Castell Loom extensively. This is an old picture, don't worry I've wiped off the excess ink.

Thank you SoulSamurai, yes that red is from the ink and is what is known as "Sheen", the Penman Sapphire is known for its beautiful red sheen.

Hello again SoulSamurai, this ink is on so many people's shopping list, but sadly its a discontinued ink and very rare, many (including myself) consider it the ultimate blue.

 

Here is a thread related to PPS

Discontinued? That's very unfortunate. Oh well, there's enough beautiful inks out there to keep me busy. Thanks for the info and the link.

Lovely pen . I have ordered some Calligraphy stuffs. That includes few Oblique holders and strait holders and few Cristal Glass pens. I have chosen the cheaper ones as I know nothing about Calligraphy pens. They are all ordered after my own research and the positive feedback from people who really use them. I like this pen and it looks a good quality pen how dose it write? Is this one set for only one nib or can be used on several nibs?

First, thank you :D

 

You don't need an expensive oblique holder to write well. As long as it fits your hand it would work perfectly. Many of them, you could adjust the flange (the part that holds the nibs) so it could adjust to your writing style.

 

My previous nib holder was too thick for me so I decided to get this one because it is thinner and also very pretty :)

 

This one was tuned to hold the Leonardt EF Principal, but I could accept other nibs, such as the Hunt 101 and anything similar in style.

      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
