There's a nib in case that needs repair and tuning, and my understanding is that Oxonian is a trusted and competent nib tuner. Would someone please PM me his contact information?

 

Thanks in advance,

The website link is frozen, also John Sorowka would prefer that his email address is not for public circulation, in fact I dont think that anyones email address should be made public without their express permission

Too late for that, and it wasn't frozen when I looked. It is out there and available on a Google search on Fountain Pen Network Philippines

You could edit your post.

 

I am sure that Oxonian will be very grateful for publicising his email address, he has specifically said that he does not want this to happen.

 

This has been reported, I will leave it to the mods to decide what is right and what is wrong.

That FPN Phillippines thread has been on the Internet since 2013 and is available to anyone who searches for Oxonian pen repairers email address. If John didin't want it on there no doubt he would have been in touch by now.

An email has just been received from John on this subject and he has specifically asked that his personal email address is removed from this thread please.

The problem for John is you can find his email address within 1-2 pages of a google search. I doubt very much he could change his email address either due to the dependancy on it for repair work. There will only be a certain amount from the few pen shows over here and a number of the pen shops who also use him.

The bottom line is that he has specifically requested that his personal email address is removed from this thread and its availability elsewhere on the internet is not relevant.

 

This is a personal choice and should be respected and not made public on FPN if that is against the wishes of the owner.

Thanks to everyone for their replies. I was aware that Oxonian didn't want his email circulated, which is why I thought it best to ask if someone could send it via PM. If anyone knows of any other UK-based nib tuners, I'd be very grateful.

Thanks,

James

This is becoming a popular slow burn thread.

 

Oh man, I'm totally gutted, my Sailor Pro Gear Sky slipped and damaged the nib! It's my prize possession.

 

I'm in Finland, and as far as I can tell no one here even knows what a fountain pen is.

 

If someone could PM me the email I'd be very grateful. I tried using the send email function under his profile but realized it probably doesn't work.

I know that, but prefer to respect the man's wishes once they were clearly stated in this thread.

 

He's not my personal slave to treat how I wish, no matter how desperate I am, that's just not cool IMHO.

Out of curiosity, what difference is there between the email address being given to you via PM, and sourcing it elsewhere on the Internet? The result is the same.

 

And if his wishes are genuinely those stated by others, they have remained as stated here. His email address is not in this thread. The external link is to a location online that has the address, of which we have no control over.

The diiference is that John has made a request that his personal email address, or links to the address, are not publicised on FPN, John has no control over that Philippines site otherwise I am sure that he would have asked for it to be removed. Johns email address has been shown in this thread and has been removed by a Mod and as has been indicated by a Mod above, contact John through FPN personal messages

      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
