Umm...what's an "FPR"?

 

 

Sorry, FPR = Fountain Pen Revolution. They make the Serwex, the grey one on the left and a Mont Blanc lookalike.

 

I actually swopped the nibs around as I get better feed this way round. The original way had the Serwex very dry and the MB very wet.

 

And they are cheap as chips as well so no hassle if you break it.

And they give no problems with drying out, skipping etc etc and work straight out the box - provided you put ink in them of course! :headsmack:

These are some clean lines, and that shading...is to die for!

Most of the writing was done with the Serwex, grey one. The gold nib is very slight flex and wrote the first word 'must' and the 'Not many noodlers do that' - so you can see, not much flex.

 

Noodlers Golden Brown ink on Rhodia paper.

I love GClef's writing. Makes me rather jealous...

 

Anybody know what ink this is? It may just be that only GClef can answer this question, but I figure it's worth a shot.

And yes, I know it's bourbon.

So many jumping to extremes...nail or easy full/or noodle flex.....no one taking the middle road...semi-flex :thumbup: ; a nice flare to one's handwriting with out having to learn anything. :rolleyes:

A nice smooth fast ride. OK, OK, uses a bit more ink even in EF.

 

 

Saving ink, is like using cheap paper in order to afford ink or a new pen in the mail. :headsmack:

If you are into saving ink, buy just black. Only need one bottle then. ... well two, one as a spare. :unsure:

 

You can be down to two one pen too, only need an EF and F nail, for writing small. Remember butter smooth only. :P

Of course one can get away with poor paper using an EF nail and a quick drying black ink.

One pen, one ink, cheap paper.....sounds sort of BIC time to me.

 

One of the most satisfying cook shows I saw was a reformed-vegetarian, who had made a small name for her self as one of the first vegetarian cooks on German TV a decade before.Oh, did she enjoy cooking meat and eating it ... in public, with greasy fingers and everything. :thumbup:

 

So happy gclef, looked at the prime rib again. After all it need not be Veggie Burger of nail F, all the time.

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

Ransom Bucket cost me many of my pictures taken by a poor camera that was finally tossed. Luckily, the Chicken Scratch pictures also vanished.

The cheapest lessons are from those who learned expensive lessons. Ignorance is best for learning expensive lessons.

My grandfather was able to do that, until his arthritis got too bad.

The assassinated President Garfield, could write Greek with one hand, Latin with the other simultaneously.

 

Using a dip pen!!!!!
