That is the first "bonus volcano" pic I've ever seen! Makes me feel like a weenie for complaining about a little snow.

 

 

Ditto and if I try and complain about the heat this summer, just smack me around a little.

I always have six of mine with me... todays set is...

Good to know I am not the only one using fountain pens to battle Maxwell's equations. :-)

 

Just last year i was battling with them with my trusty safari too!, and after 12 years since i last saw any math in college... that course i passed, did fail the signals and systems course, stupid Fourier and Laplace transforms XD... should've enquired as to what i needed to have fresh math-wise for the telecommunications part of the Masters hehe. I knew what i needed to do, just didn't remember the result of the transform or how to do them hah, and didn't have them in my cheat-sheet oh well.

My Lamy Safari is always in my line up too.

 

the safari is good for everyday use. im left-handed and find this nib smooth. its comfortable if you use to write many pages (my case).

the black nib is somewhat smoother, or it may be the ink...

yes, we also had topics on FT and LT.

it may be indeed tricky sometimes. in exams its important to know the content, but even more important is be able to do it in time

Today evening I thought it is time to draw an own handmade avatar.

I thought that it was a mechanical pencil! Very Interesting pen.

Here is a photo of the "guts" - the section (remaining part of the rubber sac not yet scraped off), internal wire part, and screw-in stylo (I suppose it could be called a nib, but I don't think that's right). The part that had me worried is that the middle wire part floats freely inside the section, but tringle assured me this is ok. So far the pen works flawlessly - my first try ever with such an animal. I don't think I will be giving up fountain pens, but these stylos are pretty interesting. I think somewhere I have a whole box of NOS stylos - I'll have to have a look now that I've done this one.

 

 

Ptero - I love the new avatar!

Sotto, I have a couple of pairs of socks like that.

Do they both have the standard fine nib?

Looking good!

Uncle Red: Yup, both nibs are the standard German iridium in Fine, and they both write like a butterfly.

All the gorgeous handwriting and shiny things make me hesitate to share this, but I've got a currentish picture, so I'll share it:

The vintage pen was a complete shot in the dark, and I'm thrilled with how well it writes, and with the fine nib. The Metro is nice, too, and I have no fear of taking it places.
