i found this in Reader's Digest last night and just thought it was funny. nothing to do with pens. This is how fine my VP is - I think it is more of an EF at the least.

 

the ink is a mix - Ottoman Azure and Legal Lapis.

I really, really want a VP for Christmas. I think Santa may have heard me. :) I asked for a green/rhodium VP in F nib. I'm hoping it's nice and smooth, I've heard great things about the VP from several people.

 

You know, it would be nice if they sold empty cartridges we could just fill up without having to rinse them all out, etc.

Never lie to your dog.

i hope Santa did hear.

 

of course, if you don't like it for any reason, you can just send it down here to TX. :D

 

I was really surprised with mine - just thought it would be too heavy to use for long periods of time but it's well balanced and for some reason the clip actually helps me get a comfortable grip on the pen. so far, no new calluses because of it. That's a good thing, btb.

If it works out for me, I can see having 2 eventually. One that stays portable with me, and one that stays near the other pens in the corral. I just think it's a clever design and ultimately quite convenient. (hoping, hoping) And yes, if it doesn't work out I know where to send it. :P

I love my VP and it is the old and now retired version with the faceted barel and clip that sits close to the barrel.

 

Mine has an extra fine and somewhat flexible nib... it's a delight to use and a superbly designed pen.

 

Even more than this, it was a gift from a dear friend.

And here's a quick writing pic as the scanner wasn't cooperating.

      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
