What Mbs Are You Using Today?

[nishantdr83]

Really nice pen and really nice handwriting. I like it a lot. Which nib is it?

Thanks much

It is a M nib but incredibly soft and smooth. I am impressed.

Very nice to see the Moore :-) Thank you for showing!

Also cool to see the Copernicus in action; haven't used mine in a while.

 

Cheers

After skipping occasionally for the past couple of months, my NOS Proust has finally found its rhythm and a great partner .. Lovin the Diamine Sagrasso Sea .. The flow is perfect and there is no skipping so far.

Trying to work on the nib some .. needs to be a bit smoother. Struggling with the downstrokes on occasion.

I would examine the nib under a loupe, looking for (1) misalignment (2) babys bottom (3) too wide an opening of the slit Edited August 25, 2018 by siamackz

Sounds like ink isn’t making it all the way to the tip.

Will find a loupe to examine it and then let you know.

 

If you see here, the nib appears to write well except for one instance. Tends to be either a downstroke or a quick circular motion needed in writing an e or o

I filled my 30 year old 146 with Diamine Imperial Blue. I will use this pen as my daily journal writer for the next month or so. The pen has a nice wet medium nib.

Very nice. Good work lighting this one, it really shows off the vertigo effect on the Hitchcock! I haven't seen anyone catch it that well in a long time. Almost makes me want to put the FP on my list.

Thank you! It was the first not-standard-MB I held in my hand six years ago and since then it didn't leave my mind. I will also try to purchase the FP (whenever a good opportunity arises ).
