indeed!!

thinking to use B nib for daily writing, it's such a fun because especially when i need to bold some words :D

i find the barrel is to small and i started to caped the pen while i use it, and yes this is also my first time to caped a pen. i found it's for a better writing experience because when the pen uncapped it's unbalance.

I like the feel of the body, although the nib can skip sometimes. When it writes, it is dryer than the metro.

ah...

thanks for you information! i love my metro but haven't got a new converter, so I have been using my geha for a while.

where do you buy your pen? how could you get that pen with that ridiculous price?

 

I haven't tried violet but i got the black quink and a green penman. both of them are great for daily uses.

Jalan Surabaya, it's a great antique market. just ask them for pens then you chose the pen. well there will be just a few fountain pen though. they got a lot of ballpoint pen.

hope you find some later :)

Parker penman green is from parker penman series, that discontinued long time ago. I found it on my grandfather drawer's. it's a pretty good green, nice shading and pretty good flow.

Is it not too broad to use a broad nib as a daily writer? I tried using sheaffer targa with broad nib,but I found it too broad on some paper. Usually I use a parker im or a sheaffer imperial 444 with medium nib.

in a rael note i prefer M though.

I find that it's not comfortable using Kaweco Sport small fountain pen to write, but if you travel, it is a great choice! I have the pencil version of it in white. I use it to draw because writing is not very comfortable with it when i tried at a local shop. Maybe because I am left handed. a small fountain pen in general is not comfortable for me because of the way I write.

 

I myself just got an Osmia 14K semi flex pen nr 3 F nib - 773 (the filler is piston filler, i think. I'm not sure what it's called) from my client. I think that this fountain pen is also good for traveling since it's light.

Yes it's very light. The picture is not so clear though but it's posted on this link https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/302475-what-pens-are-you-using-today-2016/?p=3659577

      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

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      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
