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

That Shin Ryoku ink looks great on my screen and I have been thinking of ordering it for a while. But I have hesitated as I am not sure if it is a bluish green ink or not. How would you describe it?

Thank you Uncle Red! I have really been bit by the FP bug. LOL. I already have about 10 pens in my collection, one on the way and 2 on my "wish lists" for the weeks to come .. and that is just the immediate ones.

 

To answer your question, it came with a two-tone M NIB was was SUPER smooth and clean. The reason I went with an EF nib is that I am left-handed AND write relatively small so that M NIB was just a little wet for everyday use.

Blue-Green (meaning more green than blue).

Loved my first Nib Creaper so much I just had to get a second one in "clear" to watch the piston at work :)

It took me awhile to warm up to demonstrators, actually, but they really do look cool. Especially when you have a fun ink inside! And, for practical reasons, being able to check your ink level super easily is a huge plus. I'm hoping to see more pens like the Platinum 3776 Nice with variations on the usual demonstrated look frosted, etc

Uncle Red - The pen in the middle is one of my favorites. Its a French made Gold Starry button filler, jet black, with an 18kt gold nib that has some flex. The metal is soft so I don't use too much pressure to write.

A few weeks ago, I've found a box full of beautifull nibs and bought it for nearly nothing.

fpn_1407874762__dscn0703.jpgfpn_1407874803__dscn0702.jpgThis morning, I took one out of the box and put it on my Jinhao 159. Woaw, it's just another pen : that good old gold nib is one of the most flexible I ever had .... Compared to the original stuff, it's from black to white !!!!!

As soon I have a day off, I will try the others on different pens ....

**************************

 

Amberlea, the stub on the Sheaffer Legacy is one of Sheaffer's finest nibs, I think (and its not just me, others share the opinion). It is crisp with sharp corners like an italic nib and has a bit of spring due to it being 18k, which in my experience "takes the edge off" the sharp corners and makes the writing experience smoother. The OBB on the Parker 75 Premier is another great nib, and fun to use, though because of the oblique angle it takes some getting used to. That is why you are noticing a "finicky" spot when you write, because the oblique angle requires a more exact, consistent writing angle at all times. Once you get accustomed to it the finicky spots seem to disappear. The Parker OBB nib isn't nearly as sharp on the corners as the Sheaffer stub. Does that make sense?

 

Thier, what a great find! If you listen closely you'll be able to hear little gasps and noises associated with envy, directed your way from around the world! :D

 

Troy, I have a Gold Starry safety pen in RMHR I've been meaning to ink and show you. Sometime soon, I promise.

That part which laws or kings can cause or cure.
