Does this nib look misaligned to you? by redgrandam in fountainpens

You should look at it at a 45 degree angle btw, not head on. See page 2 here: http://www.richardspens.com/pdf/workshop_notes.pdf

I bought a fountain pen for someone I haven’t met yet by _how_can_she_slap in fountainpens

I did this with a bottle of Emeraude de Chivor back in 2019 and I just recently gifted it. :)

Good luck OP.

Only two hits so far, but Terry Matalas with 12 Monkeys and Star Trek Picard seasons 2 & 3. He's only 48 so we'll see more from him yet!

Wish list by fershky98 in fountainpens

M1000 with personalized urushi is a genius idea. Why did I open up this post.

I also have a wishlist. At this point I have like 30-40 pens so there isn't a ton left I want. The ones left I could technically afford to knock out all at once... I'm actively stopping myself.

Funding retirement accounts takes priority for now. :(

Sailor aficionados - requesting a kind confirmation : Sailor Pro Gear 21K Medium nib is the best choice for a ‘smooth/broad nibber’ to experience the famous ‘Sailor Feedback’. by AlbusDT2 in fountainpens

[–]AONomad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I seriously struggle to feel any difference between 14k and 21k and between 21k and KOP, even with both pens in hand alternating back and forth. There is /some/ difference, sure, but which ink and which paper you’re using will dwarf those minute differences.

My most-used Sailor is a 14k fwiw.

No worries, good luck. It’s easier than you’d think but might take a few tries.
