This is excellent calligraphy work! The ink is gorgeous, too. It looks like it's very saturated. How does it flow?

Not usually a daily writer, but I swapped the NIB from another Cross pen and polished it up a bit. Let's see how she rides today!

I've recently, and unexpectedly, discovered the perfect pen. For me ;) It called Sailor.... :wub:

I love to write with it, everyday! :)

I love "kiddie print" with a broad nib...it makes me smile . :D

Delta Journal broad, inked with Delta black

 

I can fully understand why many state a Waterman Expert as their daily writer.

A beautifully smooth, well balanced pen, this one of which, I recently obtained for the price of a thing that doesn't cost very much at all. :D

Inked with diamine Imperial purple.

Thank you

 

 

 

Lovely colour, perfect match for pen and ink.

 

Great message too, there are so many who come begging when they have plenty stepping on those who have little to make themselves appear taller.

Wholeheartedly agree.

Mine, despite being dropped nib first onto the floorboards before it had written a word, was rescued (more by luck than judgement) and is always inked up and ready. Solid and dependable like my Parker 45s but often neglected as it doesn't make a song and dance.

 

I raise a glass to to the Waterman Expert. :)

My favourite purple...

You have a rare ability to show the individuality of every pen without losing a bit of your personal style.

Thank you for sharing this.

Today I'm mixing things up a bit. I have one of my least expensive pens sporting one of my pricier inks and My Frankentownsend, an appropriate entry on All Hallow's Eve IMHO.

I adore French Watermans, but had always side-stepped the Expert (and the Hemisphere) as they are aesthetically not in the same ballpark as Laureats, Maestros etc. but I have learned that there is a lot more to a pen than meets the eye, and the Expert certainly fits that description.

Thanks Eli

You are always so complimentary, which is very heart warming. :)

      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
