F-C Royal Blue: Under-Appreciated

First of all, thanks a million. Now I know what I can mail Hanover tomorrow. I wouldn't call that an obsession at all. I do that all the time. Throwing things out -- itself -- might be named a hobby. Inks themselves: yes, bottles: sometimes; boxes: never!

My opened bottle of Blue-Black matches up with the one quoted. I couldn't quite get to the other ones - Twisted Spire in the way.

Well, if something is in the way and needs to be used up first, then all you need to do is fill a bigger pen with it. Perhaps like this:

I'm not sure, but I think that's an M1000000.

Whoa! That gentleman is all of 15" tall!

True bliss: knowing that the guy next to you is suffering more than you are.

Actually, he is 15 feet tall. That is Mr. Pelikan Himself.

P. in H. said that the 62.5-ml bottles are offered all over the world, just not in Germany (wrack!).

Also, as of the upcoming October, they will be available in Germany and also in a new design. Still, I {A} don't know if that means the old-type 62.5-ers plus a new bottle with a different shape, and {B} don't know if that also applies to the rest of the world.

 

We'll see.

      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
