Looks pretty nice to me.

I do like the understated design. Very well done.

When you have pen and ink, every problem needs a piece of paper.

Nice big pen. Seems a little bit lightweight for a big pen. I like the lines of it.

Beauty is as beauty does. How does it write ?

 

Since yours is not, can you post a photo of the pen you call, "Gorgeous Butt" ?

Thank you!

Gorgeous.

 

I love the contrast between the matte and gloss finishes. The ridges on the cap look very cool.

 

Very nice!

Thank you! It was radical to cut again after polished in order to make ridges.

 

Love it. :)

Thank you!

 

Very nice. I also like the polished accents. And it looks great clipless.

Thank you! I always like clipless.

 

I think it's beautiful. Wouldn't mind having one like that!

Thank you! Your pens are Gorgeous!

 

Sometimes flash isn't what's called for.

Thank you!

 

Nice.

I do think it could look even better with chasing, but it's great a it is.

 

Regards,

 

Richard

Thank you! Though it doesn't show in the photo, there is a slight chasing. You can feel it when you glide your nail over it.

 

It's lovely.

Thank you!

"Gorgeous Butt"! :D

I love it. I have a soft spot for minimalist design. The only thing I'd do different would be to use an unplated steel nib. Keep up the good work!

I agree with the polished steel nib. I didn't have steel nib at that time. I have installed steel nib now and it look great. Thank you.

      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
