Been using a Germanese frankenpen this week;  Lamy Safari with the 03 nib from the Jinhao 65.  I really like that nib, and it's playing very nicely with the Lamy feed.

A Narwhal (Nahvalur) Nautilus in Cephalopod Black. I believe it’s a medium nib and the ink is a blue from my collection of Goulet samples. This is the maiden voyage for this pen.

 

I absolutely love the look and feel of this pen.

 

I have a couple minor gripes (and, they might just be due to operator headspace and timing).

 

The first is that there’s a tiny bit more drag on the paper than I normally prefer. Some of this is due to the (very) cheap paper that I have handy. I did a comparison with a TWSBI Eco that I also have inked up. I know that it is very smooth on quality paper. I confirmed that most of my issue is that due to the crappy paper, but not all of it. When I get a chance, I’ll repeat the comparison on good paper.

 

The second issue is that I don’t think I was able to draw much ink into the pen. I can’t see any ink in the porthole windows. I unscrewed and re-screwed the end cap and clearly drew some ink, but perhaps I didn’t keep the feed submerged? Thinking back, the ink sample vials are narrow and don’t contain much ink. I’ll check this when I get home. Any other ideas on what I might have done wrong?

I have many pens that can’t draw ink from a sample vial.  I unscrew the nib and eye dropper ink into the pen and replace the nib.  Converter pens are even easier.  Syringe ink from the vial into the converter.

I got the Hero 100 Dragon 🐉 in green and really like it. That’s why milky white makes a great background.

  I’ve been looking at the Dragon 100 and can’t decide which color I prefer. Both the green and the red are pretty. They remind me of the Cross Botanica and Wanderlust lines, which have a similar background.

  I’m over the moon with the most random pen- it’s a blue EF Chouxiongluwei retractable fp with one of those clear caps that go over the section. It’s a heavy pen, probably lacquer over brass, that writes really nicely. The nib has a stub like quality to it, but is nicely narrow enough for how I write. Best part is that it was free, so I had absolutely no expectations.
