so this is the Asa Genius I got after recommendation here

fpn_1562617538__p1150296-3_asa_genies.jp

 

I was very pleased with the purchase because the size and shape of the pen is just right, the section is a very comfortable shape, the threads are very smooth and the pen is not too long and can usefully be put in a shirt pocket (one of the few large size Indian pens in which the clip is there for a good purpose).

Nonetheless I had a lot of trouble with it at first. It just would not write, it was ink starved.

I tinkered a lot with it, in the end, after a lot of not fully resolutives steps, I have to thanks Honeybudgers here, since his post on channeling feeds gave me courage to give a go at it. Oh yes, now it's a different pen all together! At last I can leave the pen untouched for days and it writes straight off as soon as I pick it up. And it's not a gusher, flow is right, unrestrained but correct. Thanks, that really unlocked its qualities.

Right now I have a Gama Hawk inked up, and just cleaned out an FPR Himalaya.

 

I had never heard of Fosfor before looking through this thread.

 

Im really wanting one!

I just brought a green ebonite FPR Himalaya with the #6 Ultraflex nib on a trip to Europe, where I used it for sketching, with Noodler's Black. Even drawing on cold-press watercolour paper, which has a bumpy surface, the pen performed beautifully. No skipping or feathering, and not even much scratchiness despite the paper texture. I enjoy the feel of the ebonite body, and the nib is just the right responsiveness.

 

Here's a quick doodle of some things that appeared on my cafe table.

Lovely, Hari

this is a pen that can contend style with some upper end ebonite pens from Stipula or Visconti.

This green version is right out beatiful.

Fantastic nib to complete it too.

very nice, Hari! but I have a slight preference for the green one...

 

 

Is that due to its cap being bandless or is it the color? Thanks!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
