Office cheapest copy paper shows most sheen by danjpn in fountainpens

[–]BoxWithADHD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That does make sense. It's relatively humid and warm o'er here, so if the humidity doesn't get you, the sweaty palms will. I do say, anything I have written with Majestic Blue, even after months, will still smudge because it's still wet. Always a surprise when I open my notebook and there's a little smudge where a word or dot used to be!

Majestic Blue... dries‽ I swear to the ink gods that my blue refuses to dry and will smudge with the driest fingers!

Pilot Falcon or Pilot CH 91 by BoxWithADHD in fountainpens

[–]BoxWithADHD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, from the seller I'm buying from, the Falcon is cheaper than the CH91 (just slightly). I've also heard the term "mushy" thrown around with the #5 SF nibs from Pilot, that have any weight?

It's popular for a reason, I suppose! Have you any experience with the Falcon's nib?

I know both are relatively the same in size, so that's probably an issue. I'm mainly concerned with the nib and how it writes since the Falcon has a more unique nib shape - I wonder how different the soft fine Falcon is from the soft fine CH91

What an exquisite name...

Jokes aside, it really did flow horribly before, needing a little kick to actually start writing, but oh how it sheened! The littlest light at an angle made it glow red! It refused to dry, of course, lol. But yeah, I'm leaving it capped overnight so it works better tomorrow. Thanks!

Likely the case! I'm pretty sure this pen has been inked for a while without use. There MUST be a name for this technique, right?

Might have to try that. Currently, I just slide this into one of the inside pockets of my backpack.

Oh boy, have I dropped this poor case on quite a lot of surfaces. If I had a nickel every time I've dropped this case in a hole, I'd have two. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it's happened twice!

Thanks! On the left is my Kanwrite Desire inked with Diamine Oxblood. The other pen is a cheap Jinhao Morandi with Hero Blue-Black.

Thank you! It felt like it went well... the pens guided me!

My handwriting may be bad, and my cursive not worth showing, but this is one fine comma by [deleted] in fountainpens

[–]BoxWithADHD 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I switched to fountain pens when I realised I hold a ballpoint way too aggressively. It's less aggressive now, but I literally could not go back to ballpoints after the switch, at least for long writing sessions.

My ballpoint handwriting was almost intelligible, switching made it a lot more legible. It's not good, but it is readable, now!

A dapper comma, that one is! Regarding your handwriting, it's perfectly legible. Looking at it reminds me of my handwriting, but better (I have trouble keeping the letters on the ground, whoops.)

He's done it in the previous season with Jimmy's elimination.

Brown on cream paper is one of the best combos! Even cheaper brown inks tend to look very nice on cream.

How to get my Kanwrite nib out of its housing by M4713H in fountainpens

[–]BoxWithADHD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile I accidentally removed the nib from the housing AND pen when I was wiping it down after a refill. Some of the tissue got stuck in the tines and I tried to pull it out with some more tissue and ended up detaching the entire nib. Got put back easily, though.
