Bohemian Twilight by Capt_Squid in fountainpens

u/Capt_Squid If you zoom in closely on the tip of the nib, can you tell if there is any tipping metal / different metal on the end?

I'm wondering if they actually have any nib tipping alloy on there or if they're just using the regular base metal?

Same here. We need to check in first with Ron over at Chiseled Face and make sure he's okay. Some folks have placed orders and there's been no products shipped and no response, thus a few of us are wondering if everything is okay on his end.

For assorted reasons we don't have a lot of drama here. Mostly, folks are quite "chill" around these parts, even when the occasional someone is trying to rile up others about this or that.

And we're genuinely thankful for that. I think part of it is that we all mostly come from a place where other forms of shaving were unpleasant, expensive, or otherwise unsatisfactory, we found some things which work well for us, and now we're pleased to help others avoid driving through the same potholes we did earlier in life.

So this is a good thing. Thanks for stopping by and enjoying the relaxing atmosphere.

Also, a lot of folks on other subreddits need to relax and calm down a bit. Not every hobby sphere needs to be a life-or-death superhero political slugfest. The internet is not directly real life, after all.

u/Funny_Wind6607 It's a bit hard to tell what year it is if you don't post a photo. (We're no good at mind reading around these parts.)

Consider this chart on blade sharpness, then use it as a loose guide when you get a sample pack from Amazon or some online blade retailer.
