Thanks! I really should have acknowledged you as my source of inspiration to get this edition.

 

And it's so nice to be an inspiration instead of a warning. :)

All your recent posts are delightful, to say the least. Have you ever tried a Vac700 stub / Kon-Peki combo?

Today at the Robot party, Kubik the Box Robot picked up a fountain pen owned by Igor the Rat, a fatal decision...

Igor the Rat is pure evil. Now I'm scared ;)

Yes, I have. And I didn't like it... But that is mostly because I read so many good things about Kon-peki, that when I finally bought a bottle, it just didn't live up to the hype.

... Never underestimate the power of human stupidity ...

I use it with my Aurora 88P (Fine nib). So far, so good.

Hi!!!

 

Today Kaweco pens has a good reputation, but I don`t like this kind of brand ressurection... New Eversharp... New Kaweco... New Esterbrook...

 

Almost all my pens are vintage pens.

 

Vintage Kaweco Dia, is a great pen and you don`t need to sell one of your kidneys to buy one...

 

Cheers!

 

Eduardo

More you say? Not sure if you wanted more Wilde, or more of my writing. Fortunately, you'll get more Wilde, and unfortunately, more of my writing as well. With pens, of course.

 

In order from top to bottom:

Esterbrook 239 Chancellor's Stub

Jaclin "Parrot" 1517

Cross and Lambert Silveroid Series #4

I've always been jealous of the trees too. I wrote this in 1971:

 

Oh little Sequoia, a standing in the wood,

I hear you laughing at me,

Yes I know how silly it is

Running hither and yon.

But you need to be careful,

little tree,

The very thing that can bring you down,

is all that mobility.

 

 

Oh I like this very much as well :D

Eli, thank you for the comment on my sketch. How's your Kurrent practice going?

Skysora, SNAK asked the same question, the sketchbook I'm using is from a Daiso, a Japanese store chain.

I don't think it's even designed to be a sketchbook, but I find the paper to be very fountain pen friendly.

A great shading ink, I love the effects

But this ink has 2 faces, like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Don't let it sit unused in a pen for several weeks, otherwise it will turn into a smeary oily fluid which will never dry again on the paper.

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By oakalley · Posted

      I have been using Nikonos O-ring grease. It was a tube I had when I was doing underwater photography with a Nikonos IV camera. It is used to grease all the O-rings and seals on the camera body and lens. I would expect that it is OK since it's formulated for camera O-rings and for use in water. One small tube will probably last a lifetime! Probably any Dive shop would have it or comparable, or online as well. Dow Corning Molykote 111 is available on Amazon. The Nikonos is discontinued and any tha

      I've used clear silicone greases labeled for plumbing and diving purposes on pens. All seem to have similar resistance to water and atmospheric exposure, with the level of viscosity being the primary mechanically detectable difference.   I've used these on Sheaffer Snorkel / touchdown filling pens and modern fountain pens to lubricate and enhance the sealing of synthetic rubber and silicone o-rings in filling systems as well as section seals for ED pens. I also used them for

      The MSDS for Molykote 111 states "It is generally resistant to dilute acids and alkalines and to most aqueous solutions."   I would take that as it should not have any issues with 99.99999% of fountain pen inks.

      The grease that I have used for over 15 years, and recommend is Down Corning Molykote 111, and no other.  This is a silicone grease that is recommended for use on 0-rings and is designed to resist washing off. so it is less likely to wash off into your ink.    It is a food grade silicone grease.

      The best lubricating grease that I have found (I use it for assembly of 3D printed items that need lubrication, for food contact items, and for piston fillers (or even barrel or cap threads that are squeaky) is Super Lube brand Silicon Lubricating Grease (PN 92003) A 3oz tube should last you a very long time (it does not take much).     For piston fillers, I run a cotton swab around the cap of the grease tube, then around the inside of the barrel.  Cycle the piston a couple of tim
