Hello Alves and :W2FPN:

 

That is already a serious collection.

 

And, judging from the various inks, all are being used??....

Welcome! Nice collection. I look forward to chatting about pens and ink with you in the future.

May your ways be green and golden, and the wind be at your back.

Thank you all for the warm reception. Many of my pens are filled up with the Aurora Black just for testing; after reading many posts here I learned that there are "wet" and "dry" inks. I'd say that Aurora is too wet and flows too fast; my daily use notebook doesn't like it. The Faber Castell in parquet finish is filled up with Sheaffer Brown (just to match the colors).

It's an interesting task to test which ink works best in each pen.

I am now looking for a new pen (interested in a Lamy Vista demonstrator) to be used with J. Herbin red.

Welcome !

 

Yes, Aurora Black is very wet and very black. One of my favorites.

A warm welcome to FPN, Alves!

 

It's fun trying to determine the best pen, paper, and ink combination.

 

It may also be why my ink and paper collection keeps growing, too. ;)

 

We're glad to have you here and how you enjoy your time on FPN.

      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
