Wow, I just have to say: exquisite handwriting!

 

:: :blush:: :blush:: :blush:::

 

Aw, thanks, sirgilbert357. I truly appreciate the kind words.

Why are there fourteen samples of dark plum ink on my desk? Because I still haven't found the right shade.

Is that a problem...??? : : : sigh : : :

 

Update: Great. Finally found one I love (Lamy Dark Lilac) but I can't get more. Ah, life in my inky world....

Yes, we do have a UK loaner program!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Might anyone have a Vac Mini up for loan in the next month or so? Money is tight after the holidays and while I love my Vac700, I'm almost afraid the Vac Mini might have too narrow a section for my liking, so I'd rather try one before investing in one of my own.

At one time, Art was customizing nibs and he did a special nib for the TWSBIs which he called a Tomahawk. That nib is one that you see above. Art had to shut down and return pens so I can't recommend him at this time, but if you get a chance to buy a Tomahawk nib, buy it.

 

Another wonderful nib customization for the TWSBI is Pendleton's Bad Boy.

Ah, if only, if only, if only. But sadly even though I want to get a TWSBI, you'd probably never consider a bronze member. Also, my parents are not very supportive of me getting addicted to FP, even if, according to The Pen Addict, that there are worse addictions, right? :P

I wonder if you could show me pics of the nibs you have... I'm the hard as nails Japanese XF F guy who hardcores everything. I bought my first non-black ink a few minutes ago on Goulet, so I want a nice stub or something to go with it. Can I see some pics of your 1.1 mm stub?

Congrats!

 

And look up above on the thread. That's one of my stubs up there with a custom nib.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      By Misfit · Posted

      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
