Hi all!

 

Thanks for an awesome forum with great tone and veritable wealth of information.

 

Bought a fountain pen for my 10y.o. son recently in an effort to help him improve his handwriting - he's a leftie with ligament laxity. So far his Lamy Nexx with LH nib plus advice from me re grip and paper positioning has worked well :) step 1 accomplished. Step 2 is working on consistently sized strokes with a tiny bit of angle (80 degrees).

 

In the meantime, I felt it was only fair that I spend time improving my own. Which is scrappy. So I chose Spencerian, downloaded the antique pdfs from iampeth, and have spent way too many hours in the last week practicing instead of university study. And researching nibs, inks, mods... You name it.

 

It became addictive very quickly. Lol. Especially after my Konrad arrived. Fun, looks good, great to play with the nib/feed and gain confidence with fountain pen parts, helped me determine I *really* like flex, but alas the hand cramps - vintage nib hunt here I come! Or pterodactyl's EMF mod. If I get brave enough.

 

Anyway, thanks for a wonderful forum.

Hi and welcome to FPN

 

 

That writing you are showing looks great, and a nice pen, too.

 

At first your writing speed will be low but once the movements get automated things will go faster.

 

 

Enjoy you Spencerian, enjoy your pen, and also our forum.

Hi and welcome!

 

Nice writing!

 

So glad to see more Aussies here!

 

There's a place called Gunnedah in Australia and it's easily misheard as Canada.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. Especially Toronto, Canada ;) Toronto, Australia is a (salt)lakeside suburb in Newcastle, Australia, just over an hour's drive North from Sydney.

      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
