Diamine Midnight is a favourite of mine. Thanks for showcasing it so nicely!

This is a scan but for some reason it didn't come out very well and you can't really see the nice shade of Damson either. It's true also that when the writing is very fine, there is less opportunity to admire the ink as there is so much less of it! :-)

Just to show you how much finer the Waterman is... It will be great for letter writing. The Creaper/Konrad can be great for bold lettering but I was looking for a nice flex pen for smaller text and this fits the bill perfectly!

 

Oh no!! - [creeping realisation] - Now I want more!

I disagree Akustyk - your handwriting is great! I can't see how you could make it better so no need to wait 10 years!! :-)

I started practicing the method a bit today and hope to improve my own handwriting (sorry, didn't have time to handwrite this post). I find Palmer's a bit too stretched out so you need a lot of space to write a sentence in my opinion. Yours looks like it... but better!

Today I've really started practicing the Palmer method. It is soo hard to make it look effortless...

AAHHHHH! It came in! My boyfriend bought me the BEST GIFT EVER: a Pilot Capless Decimo in that gorgeous red finish. He got it off eBay since they don't sell it here in the States. It's the perfect size and weight for my teensy-weensy hands. I'm still getting used to writing with such a springy nib, so pardon the horrible handwriting!

sorry for the bad quality picture, lighting wasn't the best. I'll get better next time.

Very nice!

Overall the mechanics of the pen look great, the fit is very nice, and the pen is weighted very well. I am excited to re-cork the pen and get this ball rolling. I believe the pen is Hungarian.
