My daily writer at work is a really banged-up Lamy Al-Star (it hangs off my lanyard) and my most-inked pen at home is a Jinhao x750, or sometimes my Pilot Knight when I want to feel extra moderne. It's so frustrating to have a "nice" pen that needs work! Those cheaper pens really are meant to be workhorses.

IXIX posted:Not sure if this is a good thread to ask, but does anyone have recommendations for handwriting exercises? I figure there's not much point in getting a decent pen if I still produce chicken scratch. One of the biggest things that helped my chicken scratch was to get a consistent character height. There are exercises using lines & circles to help (I think IAMPETH is where I found them), but practicing with a set of calligraphy lines every day helped the most. That way I could concentrate on really making sure my ascenders, descenders, and x-heights were consistent. That's assuming the rest of your writing is fairly static in its inconsistency. If letters aren't being formed the same way every time, it's a good idea to go back to basics. Look for a (depending on what you learned in school) D'Nealian or Zaner-Bloser or Modern Cursive (or print) worksheet to print. Slowing down to see what you're doing as you write will help, too. I often practice with a pencil because it drags on paper and forces me to slow down. grack posted:Update: I GOT MY NIB BACK. Fucker was stuck in the crud in the u-bend, washing it out under pressure flushed it out. I think you need a set of these.

I know two people in real life who use fountain pens. One uses them exclusively for letters, and the other one uses them for daily writing like myself. The daily writing friend got me into them- she was moving to a different continent and insisted I write, and then was shocked that I was going to write with my nicest pen - a Pentel RSVP (still my favorite ballpoint) . One Lamy Al-Star started it all off. Now I've got several fountain pens and inks, most recently a Parker Vacumatic in silver (and a need to get all the other colors). I think that Vacumatic nib is my favorite, except that it's very wet. I had no idea how much difference a little bounce to a nib makes- not even my Pilot Custom 74 comes close. I've got another friend who tries to use Pilot Varsities but then gets upset when they're scratchy. He's also left handed - I think I need to get him a Metro & some Noodler's Bernake Blue.

Pixelante posted:Is there ever a fountain pen secret santa? We do one with the nail polish community and it's always gone really well. I don't know what the restrictions are on mailing ink across borders, though. With polish, we have to be careful to mark things as "craft supplies," etc. I loathe the holidays, but I do enjoy gift exchanges. I'm all for a secret santa here! (Inks cost about the same as nail polish, I've noticed, and I'm about as likely to get through a bottle.) quote:Question: anyone know of a charcoal grey that's darker than Noodler's Lexington or the 1670 Stormy Grey? I'd like to find an ink that shades from black to grey. The Goulet swatches online make Lexington look like one of the darkest, but when it's not smeared on the page with a swab, it looks like HB pencil, with some shading. For the charcoal grey, try diluting Noodler's Bulletproof Black down some. A 1:10 dilution should get you something close to Lexington, so maybe try half that and see what happens? quote:And to keep the lovely conversations going--what's your #1 ink(s) and why? I'm new to fountain pens and have ink ADD but my favourite pen always has Diamine Ancient Copper in it. Not particularly water resistant, but it shades between rust and near-black. Sometimes needs a little help starting again if I pause to read with the lid off, but it always comes back with a quick scribble. Helped me grind through five pages of notes, last night. My #1 ink is Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Roses (1st run/3rd run). It's a unique color that shades amazingly, and is well behaved. I like that the black portion is bulletproof. Every pen I have gets a test with it, just so I can use it more. My #1.5 ink is Noodler's Blue-Black diluted by half. It is a deep teal-leaning-green black at that point, and there's some shading to it. I've had my Lamy Al-Star for work inked up with it for 5 years. I fall in love with a different ink every month or two (right now it's Diamine Sapphire  ), but those have stayed in rotation since I bought them. quote:Do you have any disappointing inks that you regret buying? Diamine Graphite-- I got a sample of it and it was just so insanely dry that I had trouble starting it most days. J. Herbin Vert Empire-- It's a decent ink, but I am 100% done with the "muted green" phase I was in when I bought it. I put it away after writing holiday cards (it looks great on ivory/cream) 4 years ago. Every now and then I ink something up with it, am disappointed in the color, and put it back. effika fucked around with this message at 03:11 on Sep 13, 2016 |

Magnus Praeda posted:Does anyone know how well the Goulet 52gsm Tomoe River notebooks handle ghosting and bleedthrough, particularly against something around the size of a Pilot M or Lamy F? The notebooks that came with my fauxdori ghost like crazy. Speaking for the 52gsm loose sheets: I never get bleed through but do get some ghosting because it is so thin. It's not enough to stop it from being legible. I would write on both sides without much worry. Maybe stick to lighter ink just in case? The dry time is really long, but the paper produces such nice results I don't care. You might for a notebook- maybe keep a sheet of blotting paper with it.

Both, depending on the ink/nib. I had a page of Noodler's Navajo Turquoise that I wrote with a pen that's basically a slightly controlled firehose and it took at least 10 minutes. I also wrote with the same ink with a drier pen and it was definitely under a minute.

I have a Jinhao x750 and have a complete set of nibs for it. I like the pen, but it dries out really easily. I don't suppose there's another pen that takes #6 nibs that is more air tight? I have other pens that don't dry out for ages, but my Jinhao is sparkly & so more fun to use.

I've only bought my Lamy Al-Stars new, and those two boxes were sturdy enough to repurpose in my letter drawer (holding stamps, post-its etc in the slots). I guess I did buy my Jinhao new, but it came in a plastic sleeve. I don't really miss the boxes for my other pens, and it's great to not care about that when buying vintage. effika fucked around with this message at 13:52 on Oct 1, 2016 |

Trip report for my newly-arrived Nemosine Singularity .6mm stub: The nib is very smooth! The stub is a little less pronounced than I'd like, but it's definitely a stub. A touch on the dry side, which I'm fine with. The nib/feed/converter system needed some help. After flushing, I couldn't get it to draw in any ink. Reseated the converter with force, and it was fine. (If it spins, it's too loose to draw, btw.) Then I had it dropping giant globs of ink. I couldn't get the feed out to reseat it, so I used force: I pressed the nib/feed (safely!) down as I held the (body-less) pen against my desk. I pressed until I felt something move. Luckily there was no damage done, and whatever had been mis-seated in the nib/feed/converter system righted itself. It writes pretty nicely now. The aqua demonstrator is a great match for turquoise inks, too-- right now I have Waterman Inspired Blue in it. For $20 it's a decent pen. I'd still recommend a Metro before it to a newbie, but it's a fun way to get a #6 .6mm stub without going custom ground. (I might have to buy a separate nib for my Jinhao x750 if I can't ever get this feed out.) effika fucked around with this message at 02:37 on Oct 6, 2016 |

rio posted:It was a new nib so that wasn't the case. I did flush it with soapy water though, thinking it might have had some oil or something on it. After writing with it a bit more last night it the issue partially resolved and I got through two pages of writing without any stopping. It is not super juicy though. They're all the same feed, regardless of size. My Lamy Al-Star is wet enough to make a 1.5mm stub work fine, but others may be drier. Lamy's feeds are pretty well engineered so I'd be surprised if a B wasn't working (though anything bigger is a small gamble). It really does sound like an air exchange/vacuum lock problem though so if it starts up again, look to modifying the feed some. This guy didn't *wink wink* work for Lamy as an engineer - it's a pretty good blog for some of the story behind design/engineering decisions.

My Jinhao x750 is wet enough that it's my new Emerald of Chivor pen, beating out my 2nd Lamy Al-Star.

Nostalgia4Ass posted:I picked up a TWSBI ECO in white with a F nib the other day and I am really digging it so far. It writes smoothly and the sweet spot on the nib is easy to rotate to as a lefty. My previous daily carry was a M nibbed Safari but as a lefty I had trouble with my weird hook grip and keeping the pen rotated correctly. I am probably going to need to find something to keep this in to keep it from getting scratched up though. It certainly doesn't look as durable as the matte ABS of the Safari I have. The Ahabs take #6 nibs. You could try out a small stub from the Nemosine Singularity line, something from Fountain Pen Revolution, or get one of the Goulet nibs. I suppose you could also get a Franklin Christoph or Edison nib unit and knock the nib/feed out. I like to have the full range of sizes for a pen if I can, and am working on that for my #6 pens. I'd order a small stub from the Singularity line, some of the Goulet sizes, and perhaps from FPR of any of those look interesting.

I want to try bullet journaling but have gotten to the point that I don't process lists well as a thing to actually pay attention to. I just skim right over the words. I have to have my phone remind me of a task or it never gets done. Same with events. I am an organization failure. It is a lot quicker to write something down than type on my phone. I set a lot of reminders by yelling at the Google assistant too, which is quick, but not as private as I'd like. Maybe I will try again some day, if I can convince my brain to look at to-do lists in a timely manner and to understand that there are things I need to pay attention to in that block of text.

Zenostein posted:Is that darker than Cafe' des Iles? Because that's what I've got now — it's nice, but a) seems to have evaporated some over the past 5-ish years or however-long I've had it, and b) is fairly light (especially due to the fine points, it looks great out of a dip pen). It's honestly a great match for tea stains, from light to dark brown. I'd say it's going to be a bit light in a fine nib, especially if it's dry. It's about on the same saturation level as Cafe des Iles from what I can tell. Maybe a little darker per this review.

Megabound posted:2nd antique store buy, all it needed was a polish and a flush! Nice find! Vintage pens are definitely a slippery slope. I have a silver pearl Parker Vacumatic. It writes very wet and very smooth, and overall I am happy with it. But that pen came in other colors! I need to complete the collection. An emerald and an azure for certain, maybe a golden brown and a red, too. And then there are the other Parker pens! What Parker collector wouldn't want a 51 or 45? Or a Duofold? I will say that the difficulty of cleaning out the Vacumatic has made me reluctant to pull the trigger on other auctions. Nothing can beat a cartridge/converter system for ease of cleaning.

Also I've heard good things about "bullet journaling" but it all looks like a marketing thing to me when I google it. I prefer a B6 size for my everyday carry. This limits me to Japanese brands mostly, but I also find some good stuff randomly in the journal section at Barnes and Noble. (B6 fits perfectly in a pocket on my bag.) Earlier in this thread there was a link to a good simple no-frills bullet journal setup post. I'm on mobile otherwise I'd link it.

Lamy Al-Stars/Safaris have a similar setup and ink migrates to it very easily in my experience. So it isn't coming out there, just accumulating enough to get you inky when you touch it. I have a habit of gripping very close to the nib and if I'm not careful will definitely come away stained.

About a week ago I commissioned a custom pen wrap from Pentaloons. She does amazing, high-quality work. I loved browsing her store to see all the fabric options. She's got an eye for goood fabric combinations! I had all sorts of demands-- 10 slots, contrasting tie, monogram in the same color as the tie, and which way the herringbone fabric chevrons pointed. She always got back to me quickly, let me know what options were available, checked in to make sure she had what I wanted correct, and showed me multiple combinations that I might like. She was very professional to work with. My wrap arrived while I was out of town, so I've had to wait to see it! Everything came out perfectly, just as I described to her. Here are some photos showcasing her craftsmanship. Dimensions: 22.5" long by 7" wide (13" wide with flap open). Pockets are approximately 2.75" wide.      Pens, left to right: no-name 1930's celluloid, Nemosine Singularity, Jinhao X750, Pilot Knight, Pilot Custom 74, Parker Vacumatic, Lamy Al-Star Black Purple, Lamy Al-Star Aluminum   Pentaloons is going on my list of preferred vendors. I'll be certain to take a look for storage options as my collection grows, or if I need a gift for a pen friend. (I am not affiliated in any way withe Pentaloons. I paid for everything myself and am just a very happy customer!)

I find how well the pen cap seals to be the largest factor in whether I can leave a pen alone for while without use. Iroshizuku, Diamine, Noodler's, J. Herbin... can't go wrong with any of those. Don't buy the Noodler's Baystate series unless you have a pen to sacrifice to it. I have the most Noodler's ink, followed by Diamine.

That Vacumatic came in, and it is a NICE nib. Have some nib porn: From 1945, golden pearl. It's a fine-medium nib, and there's bounce but it's not a flex nib by any means. It's incredibly smooth and gushes ink, just like my other Vacumatic (a silver pearl with a gold-plated steel nib). Got it for $57 shipped, because the former owner didn't use it much and wanted to see it off to somebody who would use it. It's in great condition, some use scratches, and lots of ambering on the barrel, but very good transparency. I did bang the nib against my hand while cleaning it, leading to a slightly misaligned tine, but I was able to fix it. We're all cursed for nibs right now, it seems. Re: stub talk: I sometimes do my daily journal with a 1.1mm stub, usually after I've gotten it out for a birthday card and put sparkly ink in it. I have to slow down a lot or else my writing is illegible. I can go pretty quickly with my .6mm Nemosine stub, though. The Nemosine is also a #6 nib, so it's pretty easy to try out on a Jinhao x750. It's not a stubby as it could be, but it's definitely got some line variation. effika fucked around with this message at 23:51 on Apr 1, 2017 |

It's my least favorite to clean, by far, to the point where I want to take a hair dryer to the section sealant and see if I can get it loose, then just use silicone instead after I've scrubbed it out. But I've found a good ink for this pen (J.

(2, 5, and 13) I can't disagree, only suggest giving Navajo Turquoise a try in a nib with some flex on Tomoe River. Amazing. I think it i's ranked appropriately for usual conditions, though.

Lowness 72 posted:I suppose my issue with the "brighter" inks is that I'm mainly using these in a business setting. A bright electric blue is a little out of place. In fact, Kon Peki may be just on the verge of too much. Noodler's Blue-Black, but diluted to 50% strength. The black part is bulletproof but the blue part isn't. It's such a lovely deep but shady color at this strength. It's all I use at work.
