Malcolm,

That Serenity and your nib photo are, well, 'serene' would be applicable. Stunning.

 

Helen,

Love that frosted transparent Nauka. Are you enjoying it?

Bob

Bob: Though I ordered the pen with a converter, I am enjoying it more as an ED. Required just a tad bit of nib tweaking. Really like the frosted look.

 

Type-O: It is a lovely pen, and the cost is very reasonable. Trust me it is not "outta" of your league :)

Nakaya Naka-ai in olive tamenuri with oblique broad nib by John Mottishaw (21st anniversary pen with vermeil monkey roll stopper), inked with Sailor Rikyu-cha.

 

This is the first time I've inked this pen. The Rikyu-cha is a great color for it, but it doesn't shade much, even on Tomoe paper.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

Mannnnn.... my Lamy Vista flaked out on me, and I had to switch to a ballpoint to fill out the form.

 

The Esterbrook SJ I got from Ron Zorn (green with 9450 firm EF posting nib) sporting vintage Sheaffer Skrip Emerald Green did good. That's a pretty cool and reliable combination.

 

Blue Platinum Plaisir with 0.3 mm nib sporting Noodler's Bay State Blue and Violet Platinum Plaisir with 0.3 mm nib sporting Noodlers Kung Te Cheng. Those pen and ink combinations work well with courthouse forms printed on lowest-bidder paper. And the colors look great.

      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
