Hello from London, UK and advice on ink stains

Hi Pen Nut! Nice to meet you! It is also very gloomy down south, and I know what you mean about lockdown..! A silver lining is more time to spend on calligraphy and correspondence... much better to receive a nice letter than another zoom!

It looks like a fabulous pen as well - hope we'll get to see it in action at some point!!

      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.

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

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
