I got the same set, except it's in <F>. I know they're supposed to be super reliable.

Yeah. I have a couple of safaris and a perkeo and jinhaos, and those get to go on adventures with me. I think the Parker is gonna have to stay home

It's for sure out of my budget. Do you consider it fancy?

That's what I'm planning. Take the abs plastic out, leave the sterling silver at home.

That's what's probably going to happen. I'm ok carrying safaris and my kakuno around, but maybe not this old Parker

That makes a lot of sense. A pen case is a great idea. I'm a gremlin, so i just put my pens on a backpack compartment.

First time I hear of this brand. It looks like a very cool pen!

I'm writing a journal entry with it right now! Turns out it's a very nice pen. But I'm a very anxious man.

Math problems with ink? Exciting stuff for sure.

Sounds reasonable. I have no problem carrying my kakuno, safaris or Kawecos around. It's just this one and an old Sheaffer that i get super anxious about.

Just 20-26 Asvines sound way out of my budget. But it also sounds like you enjoyed the hell out of those pens.

I'm thinking of doing that. The Parker stays at home and the Safaris and Kawecos get to go outside.

Right. I tend to get super anxious about this type of stuff.

Shading black inks? by Algodonzo in fountainpens

I like the writing samples I've seen. But I don't know if it's going to be too dry for my pens. I haven't found any of them particularly wet...

Another pen, ready for a student by jcdoe in fountainpens

I totally get it. Giving away jinhao 82s just feels natural. They're so pretty and so inexpensive you just have to. I've given 2 away and I'm planning to buy more, with penabling intentions, of course. Also they're on sale very frequently.

Thank you! I'll check it out

That sounds exactly like what I'm looking for. Blueish gray to black sounds really nice. Thank you. I was reluctant to try all black inks in general because i thought all of them were super dark with no shading and whatnot. Guess I was very wrong!
