Scraping the nib against mouth of ink bottle after filling

[penmaster6969]

How do you people remove the excess ink in the nib after filling your pen? I usually hold the feed against the mouth of ink bottle and scrape the excess ink using its edge and i repeat this step with the surface of the nib, and then I wipe it with microfiber cloth. Do you think scraping the nib against mouth of ink bottle damages it? or i'd be fine? What also do you do to remove the excess ink. Thank you.

I just start writing, knowing that any excess will, by capillary action, be the first ink deposited onto the paper. In a sentence or two it is gone.

With piston fillers and piston converter pens, I just reverse the direction till a single blob of ink falls back into the jar, then set the piston back to its resting position. Then a quick swab with kitchen towel.

It shouldn't be necessary to scrape anything, I just touch the underside of the nib, behind the tip, to the lip of the bottle, that is usually enough.
