... With an embarrassing typo. Some of the soupy flourishes look very immature, because my ink has become clumpy and cloggy from just sitting there (as evidenced by the Gillott 303 in distress). Letter spacing issues are there too. Overall, I am not disappointed by the effort. Kind of nice that I can sit down and produce something like this after months of not having touched a dip pen.

This is positive and confident Gothic IMO. If I'm nit-picking; there are a few wayward spacing issues and the occasional slope problem - but nothing major. Overall, the page is very attractive and you display a very steady hand.

Many thanks, Ken. My hope is that after an ink upgrade, the tension that develops in my hand will ease and I will be able to concentrate on the issues you have mentioned.

This is wonderful. My favorite aspect is the human one - not everything is perfect and there is a certain warmth to it.

 

Thanks for posting.

      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
