Hi! I'm new. I've been mostly lurking on the FPN group on FB for a while, and decided to take the plunge today and create an account.

 

Right now I'm in posession of a single Platinum Plaisir with converter, and have inked it up with several different samples that I bought with it.

 

Favorite inks so far:

 

Noodler's Liberty's Elysium

R & K Scabiosa

 

Not so favorite:

 

Diamine Ancient Copper. It looks like dried blood. Yuck.

Welcome to FPN! If you have the opportunity, you should try Pilot Iroshizuku's Kon-peki. It's my favourite blue.

Thank you both. Suji, I'm in love with all things blue! I love Goulet's wide selection of samples. Next time I place an order, I'll have to see if they have some in stock.

Hi and welcome to FPN

 

 

I'm sure that the number of pens in your stable will steadily grow. It's inevitable once you joined FPN

 

Enjoy your pen(s), enjoy the forum

Welcome! I grew up 25 miles from Cape Girardeau Missouri, and went to college there for a couple of years. Where in MO do you live?Are there any pen stores, or stores which also stock pens in your area?

Welcome !

 

Dried blood color might look good on certain color papers. Not everyone likes everything. One fan described my vintage pen

as "yellow-teeth yellow" . (Don't tell me you have never loved an ugly puppy.)

I'm about an hour Northish of Springfield, MO. I'm sure there are pen stores around, but I haven't googled to find any yet. I've looked for Varsity or Preppy pens (my 13 year old daughter is an artist and likes fountain pens) at places like HeckMart and Hobby Lobby, but with no luck.

 

I've lived all over Missouri, except for the St.L area. Northern, bootheel, mid...every place but East. :)

I also live in Missouri about 2 hours North of St Louis.

I thought two hours north of St Louis was in Iowa. ;)

      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
