My Waterman Serenite has been getting nib time lately. Kind of a love it or hate it shape.

Apologies to anyone and everyone who can actually write Kanji properly. I'm just playing around with my new purchase and LOVING it.

 

I'm inventing characters and sketching any old thing just to get used to this incredible pen's expressiveness. So much fun! :happycloud9:

You can try a few of the characters you may find here:

It's fun trying to extract different line widths and shapes out of a single nib, yes! I keep doing it over and over again, and not just with bent nibs.

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

Thank you SO much for the strokeorder link. Exactly what I'm after. I've already made a folder with a few bookmarks to help me get started, and I've just added your reference. :)

 

(Your writing is beautiful and expressive)

@Tas, thank you very much!

An unexpected new acquisition quickly made its way to the list of my favourite steel-nibbed pens:

That looks like a beautiful fine nib to me, with a smidge of line variation. You bring out the best in it

 

I've only a 159 with a random EF nib in it and I really enjoy my Jinhao. I somehow thought the 750 had the triangular plastic section the 450 had. I was wrong. That's a decent, solid-looking pen.

 

(I SO don't need any more pens right now! - what have you done!)

ok, I did not write those letters with the Montblanc, but look how pretty the red snake is :wub:

 

edit:

Pen used to write: Pilot custom 912 FA

 

 

I am in love with this handwriting!

 

 

 

 

Actually, I think this one is more impressive...

Forgive my handwriting. I'm trying to improve. Really though. I'm getting back into things after a hiatus. If there's a new blue on the market that's comparable to BSB, I'd love to know.

Don't worry about it. Looks fab to me.

As for BSB substitute, I don't know of one.

Stick with it. I finally bought a bottle recently and am loving it.

PS. I love the red-topped Lamy converters in a clear body.

I love this Binderized VP nib, but I'm coming to the sad realization that stubs aren't my forte. I'm thinking of selling our trading it.

 

And there's just something about 51s man.

I've been writing with this dainty but solid little thing since it arrived a few days ago.

After a past poor experience with a Sport, this has totally restored my belief in Kaweco and I feel no remorse about breaking my "No Pens This Year" vow . . .🙄
