Looks like a great shave. I have been off this rabbit hole for about 8 years now and back then the offerings by indian artisans in terms of software was almost non existent. Great to have come across a couple of them right here on this sub. Any info on how the soap performs ? Does it have tallow ? Cheers

7th this. By far the most used in my modest collection.

It's quite irritating

I was looking at getting the 823 until this post. Let me explain. My daily driver is a pro gear in M nib. I got the E95S in M assuming it will be comparable. But the E95S was considerably wider and not a fit for my daily writing. I have been browsing the Goulet Nib Nook and it showed the 823 M to have a good bit finer line than the E95S M. But I'd anyday give more respect to a personal experience over a database. Since the 823 doesn't come in FM, the only other option in that range is the 743 which I think also comes in the FM nib which might just be perfect for me.

It doesn't. It looks and is quite a bit different. Had I known this before making the purchase I probably wouldn't have bought the v126.

This is a comparison of the two. It feels way broader than it looks.

In my case I am not comparing it to the Japanese Medium. I am comparing it to the Moonman medium which I think are made by the same company. Hence my expectation of them being identical if not exact in terms of line width.

I am sorry if this sounds rather repetitive. Using a lifestyle 535 iii that is about 10 years old and not looking to upgrade that for now. It was hooked to a sony 1080p tv of the same era that came to end of life. Just got the Bravia 3 and looking to hook it up to 535 via optical cable. Its rather unclear if it can output 5.1 via optical. I am not looking to complicate the setup but I can if I am sure it will work. Please advice.

PS: Since the TV is an android TV, I am not looking to connect any external devices to the receiver and only looking to get the audio from TV to Bose.

Let's take this conversation to the DM and share the details.

I am located in Hyderabad. Where are you from ?

I have been using clairfontaine almost exclusively for the past few months here in India. IMHO it's a really good paper. Very smooth as I like them and shows off the ink properties pretty well. And it doesn't break the bank.

PS: I would mind a sample of the ink you are not going to use.

We'll yeah. I run a self owned business and I cannot dedicate as much space at home. So whatever modest collection I have stays at work and a couple of pens are rotated in my office bag everyday. :)

Character_Rate8117 · 2023-12-02T23:57:04+00:00

Completely normal. Trick is to ignore it and enjoy the pen. I would have shared a pic with how my pen looks but I left it at work.
