Today, my third and amber color Essential arrived. I didn't like this kind of colors at all, I thought it was like more reddish, anyway, I came home, was thinking maybe MrPen would accept exchanges with black one, but how a shipping back and forth to England would be great pain in the neck. then it came to my mind there is a black one sitting in the drawer and what if I exchange barrel and the cap, when changing them I figured cap,barrel combinations would be interesting. And ta-daa there was a great combination for me guess which one.

 

 

First pic, for whom curious about them: All Essential colors with a same size Noodler's Ahab Demonstrator, feed is hacked and nib is smoothed by me..

The ink is Noodler's Red-Black, One drop od dish washer fluid added in a full converter for increasing flow with great success, well in the last 1/4 inkof converter, success became just too much of a success. :)

Mix 'n match....

 

Nice idea.

 

I do like the amber.

 

Italix is still somewhere on my list.... and that amber is appealing.

 

Thanks for showing

 

 

Are his italic nibs crisp or cursive? I like a cursive nib myself.

They've got all kinds, crisps, crisp obliques and cursive stubs. Check their web site out.

Does anyone know offhand what converters fit in the Parson's? The schmidt one that came with mine is leaking after only 4 fills... are there any other options? Can't even really disassemble the schmidt one either... Nice color combos by the way.

Have you contacted Peter Ford at Mr. Pen? I'm sure he will sort the problem out for you.

Mrpen sells them also Goulet pens sells better ones.

Looks like a bumblebee.

 

I rather like the color of the blue pen. The black is classic (love mine) but that blue is gorgeous. I may have to put some money aside for one.

      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
