TOO MANY CHOICES: A PROBLEM THAT CAN PARALYZE

THE PARADOX OF CHOICE - WHY MORE IS LESS

OVERCHOICE

Seeking the perfect choice ... “is a recipe for misery”

Faced with too many choices, consumers ... can be indecisive, unhappy, and even refrain from making the purchase at all.

An excess of choices often leads us to be less, not more, satisfied once we actually decide. There’s often that nagging feeling we could have done better.

It is not clear that more choice gives you more freedom. It could decrease our freedom if we spend so much time trying to make choices.

One way to tackle the choice problem is to become more comfortable with the idea of “good enough".

I have officially started my hint campaign for Christmas. As a very good boy this year (well, mostly), it would be very nice if Santa left me a Sailor Pro Gear Sky with a Cross Music nib under the tree. I expect I will have to hint this gently many times before it takes hold ;-). Hey, I can hope...

What is the nib like on those? Dry or wet? They are beautiful pens.

My next one will be here Monday - a Karas ink in all silver. I think it will be one of my top Fps for off desk use. Meetings etc tend to be filled with people wanting to see my FP and this one has durability and looks. AND the Schmidt nibs are cheap enough for DIY grinding.

Nice birthday present too! I plan on having the Van Gogh Starry Nights printed in bold in my letter to Santa. :)

I have fine and medium nib. Both are rather wet (and I like that) and have a littIe flex (but no t so much) I also have a Varius Metwood which has the same style and nib. I use to like big pens but those thiny are eye catchers and I have a real pleasure to write with (and it's the most important ...)

Happy Birthday, Thier.! Congrats on the new Visconti! :D

 

I'm thinking I'll try to get an Ackerman Pump Pen for manga G nibs, and hope that it arrives in a decent amount of time. So many bad reviews about the customer service.. But it's exactly what I'm looking for, so I think I might risk it. And I decided on a Kaweco Lilliput Brass for my next nice pen. I've gotten the hang of using flexible dip nibs in Noodler's pens, and won't be needing that Pilot Falcon anymore. I'd rather save the money from that and put it toward the Nakaya I yearn for so desperately. Ama-Iro, you shall be mine within the upcoming year!

That sounds like a perfect nib. I think I must put it on my pens to buy list. Thanks.

CFP has put a big fat knot in my Xmas plans! Turns out the Cross Music is not available in a rhodium finish so it wouldn't match the trim on the Sky. Bummer. Then there was the cost, that is one very expensive little piece of gold. Holy cow, it more than DOUBLED the price of the pen. Time to re-evaluate. If I tried to put that on my wish list for Santa, I think someone would have kittens on the spot. Then maybe deny knowing me ;-)

      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
