In Germany, I went to my pharmacist, told them I wanted the widest needle they had and a 12 cc syringe. Got a strange look. Told them why......even though any junky with money can get a needle at a German Pharmacy, I got a odd look.....then a bit later I wanted glycerine....a waste really and 25% ammonia...in the 'low suddsing' Amonia that is available in the States is not here....no market for it. So they got use to me and my odd buying habits.

Having klutzed at least once in my life....filed off the sharp point on the metal needle. The thing is 10 years old.....still works like it should.

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

I've been using the Goulet syringes for a couple of years now. They've done everything I needed. The 2 pack will last a long time as long as you don't beat them up.

The only disposables I have had to toss out were the ones used with Baystate Blue and the half dozen or so that one of our cats selected as ideal chew toys. I had one split along the seam after multiple uses. I use the regular 6 cc syringes with blunt tip needles as well. Both are useful.

      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
