Steve, is that #6 nib? I had tried to fix a local #6 nib into my 69EB, that got broken during closing the cap, that's why I am asking.

It was the Islander review I read very early this morning. I also checked out the ASA Genius ebonite, and that stopped me from purchasing the Rainbow. I sent an email to Mr. Subramaniam regarding a JOWO section with converter, and a 1.1 stub for the ASA Genius. I am waiting to hear what that additional cost will be. I found I love the look of the shiny black ebonite pen, though I already have two ebonites (Noodler's & Treveni, Jr). My hands are small (being only 5 ft. tall), so pens too long are a bit much. The girth of the Jinhao X750 & X450 section have proven to be very comfortable for me, allowing me to write for a protracted period of time. I will go back and look at the Azaadi.

 

I love ebonite pens because they are so light and comfortable, With ebonite, you can use even a long pen without getting fatigued. So I completely understand your love for ebonite models. Infact, I am in the process of ordering an ebonite pen for myself today.

 

The Azaadi is 140mm long which is the same size as a Jinhao X450, Lamy Safari and Sailor 1911 full size. However, it will be much much lighter than the Jinhao and closer to Sailor weight.

 

Regards,

I heard back from Mr. Subramanian, and I am ordering the ASA Genius 3-1 ebonite with 1.1 stud today!!! I have to admit I am very excited about this purchase. I wish I could order the three I like today!!

The Genius 3-1 (which is nicknamed the Wizard) seems a very interesting model. Congratulations o getting such a wonderful pen. Do please share your feedback once you receive it.

Yes, it is a #6 nib. I was able to fit it fairly easily but had to heat set the feed to ensure a perfect fit. Make sure it is set deep enough so that it fits inside the cap. Jowo nibs should work but they're almost 15 times more expensive! Ambitious nibs, I think, are wider. So they might not fit.

Thanks Steve, I ultimately made it with a #6 (made in Taiwan) nib..it looks good now.

I have fitted Ambitious #6 chrome finish nib successfully to Airmail 69EB. I had to set it deep so that cap can be screwed in and out without touching the nib.

Today I am playing with my new toy - F.P.R. Treveni Jr. Acrylic - Giraffe. It has a #5.5 1.0 stub, which writes like a real broad nib. Inked with Chesterfield Antique Orchid. Surprisingly, the nib is smoother than I would have thought. Currently writing with a Black 'n Red Notebook.

Yeah, I love my Trivenis, and I'm very fond of the 1.0mm stub nibs - though as you say, they're almost more a luscious B nib than a stub nib, given their generous flow!

And just for fun, here's the Triveni I have inked up at the moment - my full-sized Ruby Teal (with 1.0mm stub, and Diamine Magical Forest):

Shame my camera can't capture the acrylic's 'chatoyance' - it really is prettier in person!

Is that a Treveni Jr. I don't recognize that color of acrylic. It sure is beautiful, and purple is absolutely my favorite color!!

No, it's a full-sized Triveni. The acrylic colours available change from time to time, according to availability. I agree, though - I was really pleased to lay hands on this one, before they ran out of stock!

No Jay, you are right, it is Asa Writer (I am preparing a review of Asa Daily, ergo... :lol: ).

Thank you for noticing it. I have corrected it. :)

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
