Newton Pens Brown Urushi

[Hex]

That's really beautiful Shawn and in a color brown that I really like. I can't recall seeing that color before.

Okay, this pen is now an eyedropper filled with Noodler's X-feather. Oh yeah, I also replaced the fine nib with a bold ground to an arabic by Mr. Newton. I'm loving it. This setup will accompany me to work for the next three days. Let's see how it does.

I'm anxious to hear how you like that Arabic grind.

I'm anxious to hear how you like that Arabic grind.

To be honest, at first I didn't care for it. I expected more line variation. I've been playing with it all day...I mean ALL day. If it had more line variation I wouldn't be able to use it at work. Also, more line variation means less smooth. As it is now it is really smooth. I like how it makes my writing look. It' subtle, most people wouldn't notice it but it adds a bit of flair to everyday writing. I like it. Also, how do you get JoWo nibs to keep from drying out? I've had many pens with JoWo nibs and they always seem to dry out very quickly. I don't seem to have that problem from the two that I got with this pen.

Glad you like the nib.

 

As for not drying out...

Uhm.....

I guess it's all in the way the cap and pen fit together.

One week plus update. I'm loving this pen more and more. I stuck the arabic grind in there and haven't looked back. It is apparent that this pen was crafted by someone who writes. The shape of the pen is perfect.

You have made my day.

 

I'm so very glad you like it.

Another update. The longer I have this pen the more good things I have to say. Last week I was not able to take my fountain pens to work (long story.) I had just filled this pen with Noodler's Liberty's Elysium. A beautiful ink but one that does not usually flow well when left sitting. I didn't touch this pen for the entire week. It started right up this weekend. The threads and nib are the best I've seen any pen of this type.
