Green striated Shaffer's white dot vac-fill with military clip and Tsuki-yo Pilot ink. Flushed it of the Green Monteverdi ink I had been using last night and refilled it with Iroshizuku Tsuki-yo and it writes like a whole new pen. I'm kind of surprised at how much of a difference ink can make in the whole writing experience.

abw9259, I'm discovering that, too.

 

Today, I'm using:

 

Waterman Shaded Brown (amber?) Laureat with a Fine nib and Iroshuzuku Wild Chestnut.

 

My NEW Pilot Falcon with a Soft Fine nib and Diamine Classic Red Ink.

 

The classic red looks really close to the Red Dragon ink.

Never argue with drunks or crazy people.

      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..

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
