so this is the Asa Genius I got after recommendation here

 

I was very pleased with the purchase because the size and shape of the pen is just right, the section is a very comfortable shape, the threads are very smooth and the pen is not too long and can usefully be put in a shirt pocket (one of the few large size Indian pens in which the clip is there for a good purpose).

Nonetheless I had a lot of trouble with it at first. It just would not write, it was ink starved.

I tinkered a lot with it, in the end, after a lot of not fully resolutives steps, I have to thanks Honeybudgers here, since his post on channeling feeds gave me courage to give a go at it. Oh yes, now it's a different pen all together! At last I can leave the pen untouched for days and it writes straight off as soon as I pick it up. And it's not a gusher, flow is right, unrestrained but correct. Thanks, that really unlocked its qualities.

Right now I have a Gama Hawk inked up, and just cleaned out an FPR Himalaya.

 

I had never heard of Fosfor before looking through this thread.

 

Im really wanting one!

I just brought a green ebonite FPR Himalaya with the #6 Ultraflex nib on a trip to Europe, where I used it for sketching, with Noodler's Black. Even drawing on cold-press watercolour paper, which has a bumpy surface, the pen performed beautifully. No skipping or feathering, and not even much scratchiness despite the paper texture. I enjoy the feel of the ebonite body, and the nib is just the right responsiveness.

 

Here's a quick doodle of some things that appeared on my cafe table.

Lovely, Hari

this is a pen that can contend style with some upper end ebonite pens from Stipula or Visconti.

This green version is right out beatiful.

Fantastic nib to complete it too.

I'm using a much humbler Asa Maya today

[hari317]

very nice, Hari! but I have a slight preference for the green one...

 

 

Is that due to its cap being bandless or is it the color? Thanks!
