Cornering at speed! Writing is such a sensual exercise with the bigger nibs. Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Grinding nibs by hand is not an exact science as this comparison suggests. Have a look-see:

 

In my view the OBB truly stands out. I am also beginning to think that I'm missing an OBBB in my arsenal.

It's settled. I "need" an OBBB nib.

I might need one soon too.. Might be my 7th MB pen for the year...

They're fun. They give you excuses to write more. Think of the inks you can play with! Very restful to the hand. These things glide like a Ferrari on tight corners.

The big positive of such a big nib is that maybe i'll use the ink and paper i already have , But i guess i should get a newer one , I have the 1950's celluloid 144 OBBB but it's a bit on the sharp side and a bigger angle than i've seen on modern obliques.

[Ghost Plane]

Oh the things I could do with a sharper, bigger nib...

Yes! Another convert to the broad side! Pass the cookies!

OBBB nibs have to be tried.

Addictive writing experience, isn't it?

Congratulations! By the way, nice colour and shading. What ink is that?

Yes it's true. Writing a broad nib is definitely addictive, makes a lot of fun. So far I wrote just fine nibs, now is a huge difference.

This is the new Sailor Jentle Ink Rikyu-Cha, is great.

You're going to really enjoy good inks in your big nib. Shading and sheen will magically appear in inks you only thought you knew.

Very seasonal colors, Tom. Is that MB Burgundy?

Thanks. I haven't tried that shade. Still hoarding a bottle of the old Violet.
