Your ramblings are very nice :) I'm not sure about section shape though.

 

Thank you.

I hear you :)

 

It's a bit like Pilot's Vanishing Point clip, it'll either bug thehell out of you or you won't even notice it.

Oh Tas... I love your ramblings... and I do LOVE the looks of the pen. I never post, so I am safe there.... but yeah, the section looks a tad small and bulky (with that ridge in the middle).... :unsure: ... Not sure about it... But I trust that you either love it or hate :lol:

 

Question: Does it smell good??.. :D

 

 

Thanks so much for letting us know about this Hugo Boss Pen... ;)

Only ever smelt a Noodler's pen . . . until just now.

 

Cyber6, I can safely announce that the Hugo Boss Pure Dark Chrome has no smell B)

I just got a pen from the same company. Yet to ink it. I just realized it comes only with a cartridge. Does anyone know what size converter would fit these pens?

Thanks.

 

The pen is mightier than the sword, and I wield an extrafine point...... En garde!! :-)

My Hugo Boss Sequence Pen. Nice Industrial and Art Deco look. Not as heavy as I thought it would be.....

One month on and the pen has been in almost daily use.
It's never hard started (mind you I've not really given it a reason to) and my writing seems to be that much more legible with it. :)
I admit I've since swapped the nib out and replaced it with a Kaweco EF Sport version.

Woo hoo. Wonderful.

 

Still really pleased. :wub:

What a great review! I love your handwritten words and drawings :) Thanks for sharing - I've always wondered how these performed in person.

Thank you.

Sharing is what it's all about. I wouldn't own the pens or the inks I do, let alone experience the pleasure they give me, without the positive or negative input from all the other "sharers" on this forum.

EVen though I'm not tempted by the pen itself, I enjoyed your review and the illustrations. (Smile on face.) Love it!

a Pelikan converter fits well. Also two international Pelikan cartridges. A nice and heavy pen.

Does anyone know what nibs might fit these pens? I would like to get an EF in steel or gold rather than grind the stock nib.....

I've used a Kaweco sport EF in it with great success ! The feed is wonderful and marries up well.

 

Good luck. :)

I like the doodles and the ramblings, but I'm not keen on the pen section either. I suspect it's something you could get used to though. :)

Thanks so much.

 

Is that just the nib, or is it a nib feed combo? Where would be best to get one?

Im in the UK so I would start here or here.

Just pull the nib out and replace the Hugo Boss one. Great value too under £10

 

Looking forward to seeing your new combo.

      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
