I'm using a Sultan #6, filled with Robert Oster Khaki. I have also inked up a Guider egg with Akkerman (29) hofvijver grijs.post-123717-0-67060100-1483854936_thumb.jpgpost-123717-0-39126200-1483854996_thumb.jpg

My new Guider Raja eyedropper with fine nib. Just got some grease so filled up with Heart of Darkness and ready for endless note taking. I have no hesitation in saying this is the best looking pen I own and at £25 shipped a bargain.

F.P.R. Himalaya - Taj Mahal. 1.0 Stub. Ink - Diamine Burnt Sienna. The pen arrived this afternoon. Nib is smooth. Will be putting it through some paces before commenting. Do like the screw in converter--reminds me of the Monteverde Napa. fpn_1484430695__fprhimalaya.jpg

How are your stubs? There was an issue some time ago that the FPR stubs (were smooth and all but) looked too close to a Bold/rounded tip with hardly noticeable line variation.

Hero #232 Blue-Black is my Waterman Florida Blue.

Personally, I am satisfied with these 1.0 stubs. As noted they are smooth with rounded tips, not like a .true stub. However, they do aid in my 'unremarkable' handwriting. For line variation, I would use a flex nib. You can purchase a flex nib for your FPR pens. Of my Ahabs, only one has a flex nib on it.

Thanks! Sadly I'm what they call a "sidewriter" so I can't write with flex nibs. I hope you can post a writing sample of your FPR stubs :)

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
