My enjoyment of the CS 15 has left me wanting to get another similar pen with a soft smooth broad nib, any suggestions as to what I should be looking for?

Hi, Brian. Will you be looking for a similarly shaped CS? Same size or larger?

Today, I shall be using a Raspberry 286 pen and matching Duro-point pencil set.

Providing my posting is successful, here is a Conway Stewart #55.

I asked for help in choosing a larger C.S back in September, and here it is.

Apologies, of course, for the atrocious handwriting.

The ink is the discontinued C.S Tamar, which I suppose is Florida Blue by Diamine?

The pen looks nice - are you happy with it?

Hi Malcom H

Sorry, did not realize you had asked a question about future VS pens with broad nib. The 15 is a little on the small side, but not i think as small as the Donnie range. Would love to have some of the larger size pens in the CS range, hopefully, their broad nib would be as smooth and set as the CS 15 i am super happy with

A blue marbled 388 with a smooth stubby OB nib. My first CS. I have now three more modern CS but I hesitate getting another vintage one since I am afraid it will not live up to my beloved 388

Brought a CS 266 button filler back to life, today. Goodness knows when it was last used, but I had a heck of a time getting the solidified, old sac rubber, off the nipple. Anyway, job done. The 266 is the green pearl pen.

Still using the two 266's. Both are writing first time every time. :)

 

One of them is ok as a writer, but would benefit from a little nib work, while the other has a very nice, wet, medium to broad line.

      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
