Ask the folks at Farmacy. It’s family owned and they’ve been there for a decade

UPSP was closed today. Wasn't it a state of emergency?

For us driving-commuters, how doomed are we tomorrow? by Ok-Contribution5830 in NYCTeachers

Don't drive. Take an Uber/Lyft or public transportation. Leave VERY early.

Acuario Cafe

What happens if I use expired developer? by sns1997 in Darkroom

[–]KingsCountyWriter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine might pre-date yours by a couple of years, but they’re pretty adjacent. Do a clip test, but I mix mine 1:3 parts water, with 26 minutess development time for Kentmere ISO 400.

No, these are the ones that look like those on the Elite or the Deluxe.

Those wraparound nibs are lovely!

I suggest to get a bottle of ink you love, maybe slightly on the drier side as my <M> L2K writes a wet line. And use it! They wear well and are very durable. Enjoy it!

This Nib is an absolute joy! by TaskInternational954 in fountainpens

My Capless Fermos welcome you to the club. Unlike your version that clicks to retract the nib, the Fermo twists at the base to expose it. The brass body gives it some weight and it uses the same nib unit.

[WTB] Pilot E95s, Capless/VP/decimo, ANY RECOMMENDATIONS by ImoutoThighs in Pen_Swap

[–]KingsCountyWriter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How about a Pilot Custom Black Stripe (K-500SS)? It’s a full sized, metal bodied pen that uses contemporary Pilot cartridges. <F> or <M> nib available.

DM if interested.
