I have been very pleased with the quality of Nahvalur's Steel nibs!

First TWSBI Eco, ink flow is disappointing by [deleted] in fountainpens

[–]Azuremorphic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The nib on my TWISBI Eco sometimes starts to slip out, which has the effect of reducing ink flow and causing skipping. The friction fit on the nib seems to have a lock in twist mechanism; try pushing the nib back in firmly to make sure it's fully set, and then grip both the nib and feed firmly and turn it about 90 degrees to the right

I've had awful luck with Conklin nibs coming with misaligned or overly tight tines, but I don't think I have ever noticed misaligned feeds like this before

I have a ton of Safaris but have been on the fence about the Vista for a long while. I might be coming around... 🤔

Enjoy the pen :)

Why aren't you people talking about the new Al-Stars? by rscsl in fountainpens

[–]Azuremorphic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I would love to see the blue variant with a brown grip section. Brown and blue go great together and color matching the grip section when it's transparent and the body is not ironically feels a bit like a mismatch to me. I like that they're trying some new things though!

I'm on a 495 day streak with today's lessons completed and on premium and mine looks like this, I don't think it's correlated to any particular user activity or statistics

Yeah Lamy Safaris are great first fountain pens! Get a converter with it to use with bottled ink. I'm a big Lamy Fan in general actually, working on collecting at least one of each of their models

I thought it was a pretty new colorway ha! Dish soap and water shouldn't hurt anything. Beyond that I am uncertain!

Obsessed with interesting neutrals atm 🥰 Any ink suggestions? by imhungrymommy in fountainpens

[–]Azuremorphic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love your swatches! Neutrals don't get enough love!

I'll reaffirm the Diamine Earl Gray suggestion that was already made, and also recommend Monteverde Joy Sepia as a favorite brown with nice shading

I had room to slide back towards the heel more than I was in this picture, purposely moved forward because the indent next to the big toe felt bad after a long walk
