... I don't really have sufficient words to describe the sheer smugness I get from using this fantastic pen at work! B) ...

 

Pavoni, very well said :clap1: I feel like this every day, using my greatest pens all the time. What a pleasure :thumbup:

Damn it :headsmack: Now I'm going to have to go and get myself another MB 149 with a 'BB' nib and a bottle of that Iroshizuku Asa-gao ink. Pesky forum. Always teasing, always teasing :bonk: . :mad: Cheers OC Mike (great handwriting :thumbup: )

As usual, I've taken these quickly...........so forgive quality please - but here are the two MBs currently in use - the Hemingway fresh back from repair..........and my 1930s 236 - always inked!!!

Starting with writing samples from the two pens........and then trying to show nibs and feeds and sections. Enjoy!

Glad your baby is home :cloud9: Sure glad you know how to write with those skinny nibs, cause anything smaller than my paintbrush looks like drunken spiders. :embarrassed_smile:

Always when I read you post I wonder how your handwriting looks like.

Just curious. Can you please post some samples?

Haha, +1! Drunken spiders versus paintbrush fluidity should be good!

 

On topic: took the Collodi (F, with Bekakt Haags) and Fitzgerald (B, with Florida Blue) with me to work. Nobody seems to notice that I'm not using a black fountain pen today, which is probably a good thing.

Brought my Mann with me. Filled with Midnight Blue.

This is the first time that I use this ink. Have read the various reviews of it. I will flush it weekly.

Charles Dickens with mystery black. Pleased with that ink and going to start using some of the other MB inks I have from now on.

Until I'm in a position to, click on my blog link in my signature and look for my Quo Vadis Habana review. You'll see my scrawl using IB and BB nibs. :embarrassed_smile:

Thank you for pointing me to your review. Now I know why you want at least a B-nib. Your handwriting is not that spacious and even with a BB-nib it looks very normal and good readible. If I use a BB-nib I can only write three to four words in one line. (Or it isn't readible anymore.)

NICE!

      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
