Yubi is such a cutie! It's hard to believe he is already two.

That is a most adorable capture of Yubi. He looks puzzled by the shiny plastic stick and maybe wondering why it doesn't smell edible.

I have just read through this entire thread and am awed and amazed at the kindness and camaraderie here. I love the photos and the writing samples. You are all a group of very talented people with great taste!

 

So, I might just have to buy another Montblanc.

 

Now the question is, a BB or OBB?

I would test both in person, if you can. Only you can tell what works best with your grip style.

Yes, that's the way to go.

Oddly, in my case, both OBB and BB work well.

What I don't know is if both OB and B would work equally well.

I've never written with an OB.

It might be time to use an OB tester pen at the local Montblanc boutique.

~ Writing with Montblanc fountain pens and inks is a year-round pleasure.



Friends new and old know of my love for handwriting.



Occasionally a non-Montblanc fountain pen is received as a gift.



How blessed I feel to know those who appreciate the handwritten word.

Great photo Tom, looks like an EF or EEF nib?!

Ha Ha! Your comment caused me to startle Yubi by laughing out loud.

Maybe it's an EEEF Micro-Nib of dimensions which might interest our nib expert friend, zaddick.

It writes best on Cirrus, with excessive bleed-through and feathering on Strato-Cumulus.

~ For a few hours we’re in different years.



Yubi and I were outside when 2020 arrived.



May it be a year of much happiness for all Montblanc fountain users and their loved ones!

      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
