Look, I have enough trouble convincing my wife that I don't have a "problem". Me drooling on the keyboard is not helping.

That blue does go with my eyes though. Hhmmmmm....

Tina, in case you were wondering about flushing the pen when the ink runs out, I get a little bowl of water (not hot) and draw it in like you would ink. Several times of doing this might still bring out ink, but soon it will be clear. When I do it, I dump the water out after a few tries and get fresh water.

 

Then once done, get a paper towel and with the nib down put the pen in the paper towel and then shake the pen to get water out. Unless anyone else wants to say I'm wrong, then I let it dry overnight nib down in many times folded paper towel. I learned this from my brother, who got into fountain pens before I did.

 

Aren't Edisons beautiful pens?!

Sigh cubed.

What a lovely lively looking pen.

 

:gaah: Mr. Gray will also make a 14 K nib, semi-flex. :wallbash:

 

OCD....is much nicer than saying AR.....another day on FPN, another thing learned.

Living in Germany puts me a bit out of the 'slang'.....

      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
