Mostly cleaning today, so not much writing, but when I do, it's with my new Pilot Falcon, SEF nib. My, that grocery list looks nice! I think I need another list to remember all of the lists I need to make of all of the things I'm not doing because I'm having too much fun writing with my new pen.

 

I'm sure none of YOU have ever been there...

Today, I was using mainly my Delta Capri that has a mix of Sailor Jentle Nioi-sumire and Faber Castell Cobalt Blue. I also used my Conklin Duragraph with Callifolio Olivastre, as well as my Lamy Safari with Callifolio Andrinople.

This morning it's an "Original Reform 1745" with J. Herbin 1670 Stormy Grey. Nice combination, and I'm shocked at how well this little Reform writes.

Two months ago I picked up my first Reform 1745. I didn't have a loupe or magnifier with me, but it was already inked up and wrote very well so I bought it. When I got home I realized the nib was an Esterbrook. Now I want more 1745s since there are lots of possible great nib swaps.

Yesterday was small business Saturday. I went to a holiday festival and found a local artist who makes pens using the Wye Oak of Maryland. I found a fountain pen and loved the weight, length, and feel of it in my hand, so I supported him and bought my own holiday present for this year

      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
