Really like the body on this model , much better than other fountain pens .. Just feels more robust - stronger - not fragile at all .

The NIB on this one is NQR , but I tested it in anyways ..

 

Very scratchy , canted 45 deg right it became horrible , tore into the paper ...

Same thing using the pen inverted ...

 

Doing circles the pen ran dry on one side ...

 

24 Hours latter ..

It started fine , but I got out the 2000 wet and dry and started polishing the NIB ..

It did write better but was never really good ..

So I just kept polishing till I destroyed the NIB ...

 

I did have a spare nib , unfortunately it was another fine NIB so write scratchy , but I let this one be ...

Not sure the review is fair as the NIB was NQR , but hey , this is how it was sent to me ..

 

I really wish I could buy 0.7 NIB's , but I have ordered some spare NIBS ( medium I hope ) ...

Such a shame that a nice body is attached to a rubbish NIB ..

Did you check for tines misalignment before hitting the abrasive paper? Mine was scratchy and dry, but it was just a matter of tines misalignment and opening the tines at the tip a bit.

Yes , I polished to death because of the bent nib ..

I got it ok , but decided to just keep going ..

Really wanted to see what would happen if I went crazy ..

It got to a certain point , but never beyond to good .. Was acceptable I guess .. But hey , cheap pens are for learning !

I have ordered some nibs ( Medium ) , I am pretty sure this was a .38 NIB , so a .5 NIB could be sweet ?

      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
