Thank you!!!!

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

It's a little too dry for my tastes.

Don't listen to Felix.... He must have super wet pens. I have wet pens, but it failed my too dry for daily use test.

That is true. Every pen I get always receives my special treatment to make it super duper wet.

I'm intrigued. What is this treatment of which you speak? ;)

Oh boy! That's my secret but will tell you anyways! I take a smoothing kit and run the nib until it is buttery smooth. Sometimes, I create a small "foot" with the tip to fit my hand positions.

 

Then, I take the nib and see how wet it is. If I don't like it (I rarely do), I take a plastic sheet (from Pilot Parallel) and run it through the tines. If it doesn't fit, I flex the nib out a tiny bit to get the sheet firmly slotted. 15 minutes of the sheet being there, followed by back and forth motions really make the nib very wet. Do some more smoothing and adjustments as I see fit afterwards.

 

Different story for Noodler's pens though! Those are a different beast!

Oh come on! This one wasn't even that bad! I think my cards just don't like the oils on my fingers or something! EVERY SINGLE TIME!

I very well could have been. My parents kept this secret from me and kept on dyeing my hair pitch black when I was asleep. :P

The Grenade is SUPER pretty. Just my kind of red! Maybe that will have to do since the Arkane is beyond our grasp...

Before you go crazy looking for the NLA Grenada, try Levenger Pomegranate.

Will do! Or maybe, just maybe, I can get samples and do one of my goofy "face-offs"! ;)

I don't think you can get the Levenger as a sample, but you can probably persuade one of us to do samples.

Great suggestion! Exactly what I was hoping for!
