Heh. Great. :) The broad is essentially a glorified sharpie!

Yep, and my L2K BB writing would never fit on one of those lines and be legible... I think it's for making posters!

That was my experience as well.

Wow .. I was thinking of a broad; I was thinking it might be smoother. That is seriously a B, looks like a BB. Rats. Must rethink this - perhaps a medium is the way to go.

Useful review, thanks. How would that HP paper be as a go-to FP paper? I'm thinking at 32 lb, it should be pretty good.

It's great, plus you can print lines on it from several websites. Be sure to get the HP 32lb Premium Laser Jet, not an Ink Jet version. I print lines on both sides and you them for doodle pages or when initially test writing restorations.

      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..

      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
