Happy New Year to all! Hope 2016 brings all good stuff, including of course some pen and inky goodness. Speaking of which, I think it's time we get going the 2016 thread... I for one look forward to sharing some new pictures of the surprises brought forward by the holliday season! ;)

Got in a bunch of pens I had ordered before the holidays from some money I got for my birthday. This means I'll have probably close to twenty different stub dip pens for my stub comparison I'm planning. Woo hoo!

 

Here's one of my favorites. Super flexible.

Nice! And I'm doing a test run for the nibs you were so kind to send me. Too early to publish the results, but I love the feeling. Hope it will improve with Registrar's Ink, but Waterman Serenity Blue is just alright. And these Tachikawa holders you recommended are pure fun. Thanks again!

I am going to have to also try these pen holders and pens soon. I'll be sure to ask for advice first, though!

I'm impressed with people who can use an oblique. Since I started the Palmer Method 2 1/2 months ago right handed, I thought the oblique couldn't be much harder than the fountain pen. I was wrong. More practice. Much more practice. The left hand is getting a little better too. But now I can stop drooling over all the obliques, since they are easy to make. It did take a while to get all the angles sorted out though. Paper to nib = 35 degrees. Nib to pen, 55 degrees. Hand to paper 45 degrees. It's always more fun making something for the first time.

That's awfully smooth edges for a straight quill. I'm impressed.

Forgive the misspelling of "standard", please. Sometimes I get to concentrating so hard on the writing process that I misspell something and don't even notice until later....

Beautiful piece of art and craft, that is. I hope you use it to you heart's content, and do not set it on a pedestal for show.

      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
