I love everything about this pen, the nib is amazing and the ink is perfect.  This is amazing!!!!

I posted this in @amberleadavis review of the Hero 5028. She kindly sent it to me. Now I’m offering it as a PIF. I posted this in the original review. Same deal here, first to PM me will get the Hero 5028 with 3 nib units. (The Visconti is not part of this offer.) Must have a US address.

Oh, so many really exciting stub nibs and magnificent looking handwriting! My congratulations!

My new acquisition is Pelikan M800 BB, very smooth and expressive, but a real gusher with Iroshizuku Shin-ryoku...

"Stop little pot", I definitely had to choose another ink)

Belongs here:

https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/forum/145-pay-it-forward-loaner-programs-group-buys/

I wondered if I should put the offer somewhere else. Thank you for showing the place.

 

I posted in the appropriate area, and the pen will have a new home. Being new to PIF, my rule was first person. Maybe not that fair, but it’s my first PIF.

I'm glad you shared it.  So, what did you not like about it?

I knew I probably would not use the 1.9mm nib, and use the 1.5 not so often. I have Lamy nibs in both sizes, plus a 1.5mm Kaweco nib. 
 

I hope you don’t mind my PIF with that pen. I figure getting more people over to the stub/italic side might mean more pens with those nibs for all of us on this thread.

Why would anyone mind? That's  a very generous thing to do. And reminds me that i should ink up some of my wider stubs so i might have something to show here.

Will work for pens... :unsure:

It's one that I've shown off a bunch. I adore it.

You are very kind. I have serviceable penmanship, but I make it look better with great pens.

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

      By Misfit · Posted

      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

      @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
