No ink today? Nice pencil! Is it a sudoku pencil?

 

Yep, a Retro51 Sudoku pencil went into court with me today.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Hi Troy,

 

Your writing looks great with those wide nibs, especially the flexible nib on that Skyline! :)

 

As far as I can tell the nib on the Doric is a factory stub. It is smooth and has some flex to it.

Of course yes! One of my biggest problem is that I use three fountain pens at work and each time one run out of ink, I clean it and store it. Then, I use another one .... The problem is that I like my Duke von Gaber Castell Intuition so much that I don not store it but refill it directly. I'm quite sute that it would be the same with the Montegrappa. The other pens rotation will be poor ......

David,

 

It is really the first Eversharp nib I have seen with any flexibility at all, and in a medium-bold line. How was Fathers Day and your vacation for you?

I really believe you would like the Inkograph I posted a pic of, it's the size of a Duofold Jr., maybe I will send it to you for a test write.

Hey Amber. Why does this pen have numbers all over it. I feel dumb because no one has asked this accept me. Which leads me to believe that every one else just naturally knows

I understand that this pen is inspired in sudoku. I kind of numeric puzzle.

A lot of the Retro51 pens have "urban" designs on their barrels and are pretty cool looking. I agree that Amberlea's pencil is for working sudoku, or to look like a sudoku puzzle. And in my world, no question is stupid or dumb, it's how us observers learn something new.

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

Coop, Good luck with staying awake today! Been there, done that, got the keyboard imprints on my face.

 

Attika, good luck with the studies!

 

Disillusion, is that fifth color down Lie de The? You have it marked "Tea" on your pen.

 

And, (it's been a loooong time since I tried Blackletter, and it shows, but what they heck, I'm having fun!)

 

 

 

Don't think the cap would fit with an O-ring, so I'm assuming just some silicon around the threads of the nib unit? (this is the newer style of easy-change sections)

 

 

No it is some DIY ink from China that I bought to play with dip pens, but I have Lie de The somewhere on my "to purchase" list because brown ink is great! That Osmiroid pen looks fun to write with :)

 

I was robbed two months ago and the thieves took my car, my documents, my ultrabook, my cell phone, and most importantly, my pens.

 

I confess that this affected my enthusiasm with the art of writing, but now I recovered and came back to forum.

 

 

[Parker 51 - Stub/Broad nib]

I am sorry to hear about your loss. I hope you find your passion for writing back. Is that your italic writing in your avatar? Please post more!

That looks really cool!
