Now that  is cool. The material and the nib. (And the choice of ink!) I had no idea a nib could have it's colour changed. It's things like that which keep this hobby fresh.

 

 

I've been looking for material like this for years.  The company that used to make it, no longer sells it to other companies.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

A Lamy pen that is huge and does get used.PXL_20211219_032044780.thumb.jpg.63f34fe1008976af302b9ce003a8a49f.jpg

Never had a stub nib, but I do have a Lamy Safari.  This will definitely be what I'll be looking at next.  Hope I can write as beutifully.  May I know what stub size you use?  Thanks.

All these beautiful stubs .... slowly convincing me that I should get one ..... fast.   Neil deGrasse Tyson and Figboot brought me here, by the way.  :)

Inventorying everything in my desk has been very educational.

 

Here is a Pelikan M200 Silver Pearls (or Gray Marbled) with a medium nib ground by Richard Binder to a 0.4 cursive italic.

What a wonderful job there and love that it’s .4.  That’s perfect for everyday writing, note-taking, etc. without being such a large script as to take up so much space.

 

What blue ink is that?

Beautiful! The pen and ink, the tiny italic nib and the handwriting. 👍

Will work for pens... :unsure:

That was a fun video to watch. I’m assuming you saw that. Welcome to FPN. Lots of great stub and italic nibs out there. If you need any advice, this thread would be a good place to ask for it.

Yes!  Neil is always a joy to watch.  Thanks for the welcome.  Stubs sure look like fun.  Will really have to try one soon.

Thanks.  I was thinking 1.1 would be good enough, but seems 1.5 may be OK too.  Have to find a way to try one or the other before buying.

      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
