Thank you milkb0at for introducing me to this beauty, for taking the Lamy pencil off my hands to release my cash flow and for your gentle encouragement in my moments of doubt.


** UPDATE - Pen now puts down a much wetter line. I was brave. I removed the nib and gently made some room between the tines. Ooo yeah :wub:

What a lovely review! So happy that you and your lovely pen found each other - true love!

I chose my user name years ago - I have no links to BBS pens (other than owning one!)

Fantastic. I'm so happy you love the pen. I'd never actively encourage anyone to spend lots of money, but I am glad you were able to try mine and super happy that you found one to buy. I only had the pen with me because it was a nice memory of buying it from Kirit at the Aurora stand at last year's Pen Show. What luck I had it.

 

I agree that the Lamy 2000 comparison is an easy one to make, with similar material and feel. However, I have both and I find myself thinking of them as completely different. I see the Aurora more like my P51 (and I think historically the Aurora was their answer to the Parker, so I suppose it makes sense), but I prefer the Aurora to the P51. The Parker is very dull - the ballpoint of fountain pens - whereas the Aurora has character. Perhaps the Aurora would be the result if the L2K and the P51 had a baby.

 

The Lamy Scribble is excellent, by the way, and I'm using it daily in my sketch book.

YES !

 

Glad the Scribble is being used. Your face dropped about an inch when the lady said it was the last one. It was burning a hole in my pocket and concience. It's gone to the better home.

      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
