I'm so glad you finally found the perfect match for your Kiwa-Guro!

I wholeheartedly agree about the 309....now I'm just hoping they'll come out with more colors...even just a plan solid black one for crying out loud.

Recently a marshmallow pink version was released, so at least that means they are still making new pens.

 

--------------

I'm still working through the first fill with the AsaPens Genius + JoWo 1.1 OCI combination. The pen holds a TON of ink!

 

 

I know, right?! lol. About freakin' time lol, especially since I have about 80 mL of Kiwa Guro to go through.

 

I didn't feel like looking for an EDC FP after putting that combo together last week... , but then Karas Kustoms had to go and create the new Starliner XL shoving every other pen off the top of my list.

 

I got the tumbled aluminum in my sights.

I hope that Genius is as lovely a combo as it sounds.

Interesting pen! If the Starliner XL is as light as the 309, I may have to invest in one as well. I could use a robust metal EDC pen that's bigger than the otherwise excellent anodized aluminum Delike Alpha.

Your description is actually what many would consider to be the perfect writing experience. So my purpose with the OP was to seek a pen/ink/paper combination that is so "perfect" that you don't even know they are there and it just feels like your thoughts and ideas are magically appearing on the paper. Maybe another way to phrase "perfect writing experience" could be "transcendental writing experience."

 

My Konrad with a Goulet fine nib and Noodler's X-Feather is disappearing in my hand today.

Nice! Do you have one of the pricier acrylic or ebonite Konrads or the original one?

I got a red demonstrator model when they first came out and it was a total lemon, but I liked the concept.

Original. Roaring 20s Tortoiseshell. Had to fiddle with it a lot to get it to work well. But I like fiddling projects.

      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
