You all have such beautiful handwriting! Carretera's Plato quotation is so lovely - the shading in that in makes me want to order one immediately!

I'm very pleased with this; whilst not a Parker 51, it writes extremely well -- Leon

Unlike the Parker 51, this look-alike sports an ink-window.

Welcome aboard, Andeek -- Leon

 

Hi, new to the board, but have been lurking for a week or two. I wanted to introduce myself to my most oft read thread. Thanks for all your posts! Love seeing your handwriting. Here is my Noodler's nib creaper with a Wahl Oxford #2 nib and J. Herbin eclat de saphir on a Picadilly lined notebook.

Ohhhh. Lust, or something close. That Parker looks like it was done with a cap like my dad's has, longitudinally scribed lines. Sigh. It needs a trip to Ron Zorn.

Nice!

 

Can you do me a favor .. after using the pen for a while, can you open it and look at the NIB / Feed assembly. I am attaching a picture of mine and I want to know if yours looks like mine. I have a feeling I have a defective one. (I have checked seals and stuff .. I have flushed it and tried again .. the ink is Iroshizuku Kon-Peki) .. no matter what I do, it just seems to bleed ink. I filled it with a syringe so it isn't residual ink from sticking the NIB in the ink.

I like all the pens.... Do your students, or whoever you are grading papers for comment on your use of a fountain pen?

Interesting - just been looking on Cult pens and that 'style' of VP (or capless) is only available with a medium nib ??

Goulet has them in B, M, F, EF.

Whoa, I didn't realize how nicely Nightshade shades until I took a closer look at my picture. Lovely!

 

Also: thank you Amber re: my new snail! I tried my first wash the other day and I'm hooked. This is going to make inks EVEN MORE FUN than they already are.

Thanks, I have sent an email to Goulet Pens (where I got it). I have since tried different inks

 

Diamine Red Dragon - leaked

Private reserve (fast dry) - some leakage but it wasn't loaded long as is was NOT fast drying

 

right now I have Noodler's 54th Massachusetts. That is the last ink swap I am doing. I think I have done my fair share of testing. I will wait and see if it leaks / what I hear back from Goulet Pens.

 

Thanks again!

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

Coop,

 

one last thing .. on the back side of the nib (the plastic feed part) .. do you see any residue of ink there? It is just a little and I am wondering if that is from my other issue .. or if that is just a little smear from when the NIB pushes out of the "door" when extended.
