Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Hello from HK.

 

For calligraphy, I personally like flex nib, yet for daily use, I prefer stub, as flex nib skips or rails more easily when writing fast.

It's the same skill as using a pencil without breaking it (too hard down) or tearing paper(too hard up) while still leaving marks on the page. It was harder for me to re-learn cursive.

 

 

I'm no expert, but these are favorite nibs, from soft to slightly less soft:

 

-Brause Rose. Extremely flexible with next to no pressure. Just a bit scratchy.

-Hunt #99. Very flexible and needs next to no pressure, but rather scratchy and fragile.

-Hiro #41. Moderate amount of flex with a little pressure. Very durable, very smooth-writing, very easy to use! My favorite. Runs out of ink fast though.

 

Dip pen nibs for crosshatching, cartooning, or lettering instead of calligraphy. They're usually smoother-writing than calligraphy nibs. The Hunt #99 is a flexible drawing nib, the #512 is a rigid drawing nib. The Hiro #41 is called a calligraphy nib, but it's a very unusual calligraphy nib - blunter, less flexible and very smooth writing.

 

The Hunt #103 is a calligraphy nib so fine it requires special paper.

Corona688 - you are an enabler - I totally respect that! Now, where do I find this Hiro #41 and does it have to be a dip nib? Can I add it to a fountain pen?

Noodler's Creaper "Poltergeist Pumpkin" & KWZ Gummiberry

 

Note...Noodler's pens are such a pain to setup that I'd recommend getting one of these w/ an ultra-flex nib...

I'm afraid it probably does. It's not flat metal like some, it's kind of got a neck.

 

John Neal Bookseller is indeed where I got mine.

Hey you do not look anything wrong those fountain pens could be a good alternative for dip pens.
although I would like to try the dip pens and pens that you recommended me.

 

Although right now I have to save I just bought a lamy 2000 pen

      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
