Continuing my italic handwriting, I used three pens this morning: Pelikan M800 (1.0 mm formal italic) with R&K Alt-Bordeaux, Parker Duofold "100 year Akkerman" (italic broad) with Akkerman Blauw, Visconti Homo Sapiens (Steel, 1.3 mm stub) with Diamine Umber.

 

Needed (wanted) three colours to distinguish between the voices of Evangelist, Jesus and the High Priest.

Still using the Jinhao 886 I took to class last nite. Inked today with Noodler's Walnut.

Got a 2.4mm Pilot Parallel and can't have enough of it! Uncials, Antiqua and Carolingian have never been so simple.

Using my Pilot Metropolitan Retro Pop with Noodler's Air Corps Blue Black, Pilot Falcon with just a regular Pilot Black cartridge (which somehow feels glossy black coming from that nib), and a Platinum Plaisir with the blue Platinum cartridge. Can't wait to use up that up and get in a more interesting color.

Just christened a Jinhao 15. I suspect it has one of their better nibs, so no beef with it at all, so far.

Wacom Intuos A5 ... Sorry, haven't touched a fountain pen all day, but perhaps later when I'm done editing pictures.

Lamy Al-Star (B nib) with Noodler's Heart of Darkness

Pilot Kakuno (M nib) with Noodler's Liberty's Elysium

Delta Unica (F nib) with Diamine Syrah

 

Did this modification require any physical "hammering" of the nib, or are the TWSBI 580 nibs and F-C nibs exactly the shame shape? If they are, my oncoming 580 AL Green just got a lot more attractive.

I just unscrew the nib unit from both pens and swap them. No modification needed. I like the FC nib unit so much more than my TWSBI ones. I did the same to my TWSBI Mini and it worked well too.

Today's pens were a Franklin Christoph Model 02 filled with some of their F-C Black Cherry Ink (which performed remarkably well on some awful 3x5 cards) and a Karas Kustoms Ink with a titanium Bock nib which I'm trying to figure out whether I like or not.

Today was a Platinum Izumo Akatamenuri with a "B" nib.
