Question for those more knowledgable on the subject of oblique nibs: Calligraphers use oblique pen holders to get the correct angle with dip pens. Would it follow that if you were writing Spencerian style cursive with a flexible fountain pen nib that you would want the pen tip to have a similar angle?

I have received this capless vacumatic and wonder if you can tell which cap would be needed. I know at this point it will be a marriage, however if you find the right cap, would it not make it semi-original. I do not plan on selling the unit as it fits my writing style with the right footed 15 deg oblique. It feels like an oblique. I will put the photographs to clear up any issues I have made. It is good to be back, 2014 was an extremely busy year, did not make the philly show, but will be in Atlanta in April. That is a for sure. I miss europe, and Hawaii is getting boring, no pen shops, just luck of the draw, and im not selling much or buying much in the last few months. Any help on this unit is appreciated. The barrel is tassied. the filler is speedline notched. The only thing is the blindcap is a shorty.

Hello! I bought my first fountain pen a couple of months ago, a Lamy Safari with a fine and a 1.1 nib. It actually is fantastic, no complains, but I wanted to go to the next level, you know maybe a better writing experience, I don't really care about the looks. So, here goes the question: ¿What fountain pen do you recommend me? It is very important that it has a similar nib to the 1.1 because my handwriting has improved a lot with that nib. Thanks!

Hello Well, my name is Gabriel and I am new to this community, which as far as I have seen I like very much. Notice that I am spanish so if i misspell words or have grammar mistakes, well, I am sorry! So, I started to use fountain pens a couple of moths ago when my father gave me what i think is a Waterman Hemisphere for my birthday, and since that day I just love them. Weeks passed and I commented to my mother that I loved writing with fountain pens and surprise, she told me she had a bunch of fountain pens she didn't use anymore and told me I could have them! As you can see, there I was with a bunch of really cool fountain pens, ( i will include a picture of them), but I just felt that they were a bit too scratchy so I decided to buy a Lamy Safari, because of all the great critics I had heard from it. Well, turns out that it really is as great as they say, at least from my opinion, it was waay smoother than my other fountain pens. Whit my Lamy Safari I also bought a 1.1 nib, and, for my surprise, my handwriting was incredibly better!! That is something i have had a lot of trouble in my life, I have horrible a handwriting and teachers almost couldn't read what I wrote. Now I am studying Aerospace Engineering and it turns out I start to care about my handwriting when the tests are choose-a-option type ( I don't know what you call them ) so nobody was going to read what a i wrote. Well, the fine nib my Lamy safari came with is great for me when it comes to writing in a test in order to choose the right option, because i can write really fasta and smooth, but, for writing things that I am actually going to study from the 1.1 nib is just fantastic BUT, a bit too scratchy, so, here goes the question. Which fountain pen do you recommend me for writing, with a 1.1 nib or something like that. I thought about the Art Pen by Rotring, but I have also considered an oblique nib, even tough i have never tried one! What do you think? So, this are some of the pens i have, form left to right, ( or up to down) I think they are : Sheaffer, whit a 14k gold nib, ( ni idea which model), Waterman (Thats all I have discovered form this one hahaha), Waterman Hemisphere, Inoxcrom ( no idea which model either). Even tough they are not bad it jus fells that they should be smoother, i dont know, maybe their nib is broken or something like that, and i say this because the lamy safari writes waaay better that the sheaffer with 14k gold . http://i883.photobucket.com/albums/ac39/Gabrieljauma/20140109_131850_zps9e25c5b3.jpg[/url] These are some of my other fountain pens, the las three i made them myself!! http://i883.photobucket.com/albums/ac39/Gabrieljauma/20140109_130245_zpsb0d7d52a.jpg[/url] And finally a writing sample of how bad a i write hahaha! http://i883.photobucket.com/albums/ac39/Gabrieljauma/20140109_131627_zpsd02bfd4f.jpg[/url] Thanks for reading!!!
