Let's Start A Pen Blog


Mineralogy

Recommended Posts

I am interested in helping out with the blog. I can offer my experience with modern pens, vintage pens, dip pens, and gel/ballpoint pens.

Since a lot of the review would be on how the pen feels, having people with different sized hands would also be a plus.

While I am an amateur in the fountain pen arena (~6 pens), I have played around with quite a bit of other kinds of pens (ballpoints, rollerball, gel, etc). I would love to be of assistance on this front. Furthermore, I love to write extremely small, so I could offer perspective on that front (ef nibs, .18mm gel pens, etc). Let me know if you would like any help.

Btw. Here is a sample of my writing size.

 

I like to journal a lot and this size is not out of the ordinary from my daily personal journaling

I would be interested in helping out with this one. As an art school grad, i know a fair bit about the pencils and other pens available. Having done a lot of work using ballpoints, gels and a range of pencil brands I could comment on how easy they are to work with depending on what you are using them for (aside from writing). Only got back into using fountain pens again this year after having a year of using other things.

Hi, I'd love to help with this, but my knowledge of pencils is rather limited. I do have experience with ballpoints, rollerballs, and gel ink pens, though. I would, however be able to review about once or twice a month. I frequently write on cheap paper and take notes at school, so I could give a perspective of a student. If you are still looking for someone to write reviews for you and are interested in my help, please just let me know! :)

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
