@Coop - That looks like a great nib! After using the 1.5mm on my Safari, I'm really thinking about trying out a TWSBI with such nib.

The nib wasn't perfect....the tines were catching into each other (one was above the other)! But I could manage to fix that, and now its very smooth! Still not perfect, but might feel like that because its an oblique. I need to get a bit used to it.
It was almost a bargain! :)

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 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

I saw a quote recently that I think applies as much to people as to events.

I used my cheap-ass Manuscript to write a letter today, since it's the finest point I have at the moment. My Hero was used for journaling. So... here's a pic from using my Jinhao (x750, with a brown cartridge from... the cheap-Manuscript set? in it) during my handwriting practice (yes, I write out hiphop/rap lyrics to practice):

Really nice pen, photos and writing. I just got a P51 stub as well. Isn't it amazing? I'm on the hunt for the perfect ink for it. I like that one, lots of nice shading! Congrats on the set!
