Letter out to LexieS (in tomorrow's mail).

Keepers of private notebooks are a different breed altogether, lonely and resistant rearrangers of things, anxious malcontents, children afflicted apparently at birth with some presentiment of loss. Joan Didion

Letter and card in from fncll. Also my letter to jaymac was returned to me, it got wet and part of her address washed away. :( Will re-send it on Monday.

About two years ago I started using a bit of paraffin wax to help with that - I just give a light rub over the addresses on an envelope, or the written areas of a postcard. I lucked out and found some canning paraffin in block form, but a candle stub works great too.

I usually write the address on the envelope with a permanent ink such as Diamine Registrar's ink to (hopefully) prevent that happening.

I was lucky with my first letter (PR American Blue and apparently no rain), used a ballpoint pen on the second and have since gotten Noodler's Heart of Darkness.

I have a Noodler's piston fill that's always inked with Baystate Blue. That's waterproof, right? Guess I'll just use that for envelopes all the time from now on. Although the really OCD part of me hates using different inks for the letter and the envelope.

I suppose you could write the letter in Baystate Blue as well?

      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

      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
