Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison

Hello from HK.

 

For calligraphy, I personally like flex nib, yet for daily use, I prefer stub, as flex nib skips or rails more easily when writing fast.

It's the same skill as using a pencil without breaking it (too hard down) or tearing paper(too hard up) while still leaving marks on the page. It was harder for me to re-learn cursive.

 

 

I'm no expert, but these are favorite nibs, from soft to slightly less soft:

 

-Brause Rose. Extremely flexible with next to no pressure. Just a bit scratchy.

-Hunt #99. Very flexible and needs next to no pressure, but rather scratchy and fragile.

-Hiro #41. Moderate amount of flex with a little pressure. Very durable, very smooth-writing, very easy to use! My favorite. Runs out of ink fast though.

 

Dip pen nibs for crosshatching, cartooning, or lettering instead of calligraphy. They're usually smoother-writing than calligraphy nibs. The Hunt #99 is a flexible drawing nib, the #512 is a rigid drawing nib. The Hiro #41 is called a calligraphy nib, but it's a very unusual calligraphy nib - blunter, less flexible and very smooth writing.

 

The Hunt #103 is a calligraphy nib so fine it requires special paper.

Corona688 - you are an enabler - I totally respect that! Now, where do I find this Hiro #41 and does it have to be a dip nib? Can I add it to a fountain pen?

Noodler's Creaper "Poltergeist Pumpkin" & KWZ Gummiberry

 

Note...Noodler's pens are such a pain to setup that I'd recommend getting one of these w/ an ultra-flex nib...

Same basic thing and you won't want to throw it at the wall. :P

 

That is...If ya wanna try being flexy :D

I'm afraid it probably does. It's not flat metal like some, it's kind of got a neck.

 

John Neal Bookseller is indeed where I got mine.

Hey you do not look anything wrong those fountain pens could be a good alternative for dip pens.
although I would like to try the dip pens and pens that you recommended me.

 

Although right now I have to save I just bought a lamy 2000 pen
