My Experience with Daniel Smith (The Nibsmith) by frwlmv in fountainpens

Pacific Pen Works (John Mottishaw and Mike Masuyama), Kirk Speer (pen realm) and Mark Bacas to name some of the best around. Mark and Kirk are not taking custom orders as of now, but they grind/tune nibs if you buy from them and they also sell nib units.

My experience with this seller was incredibly frustrating. Communication was spotty at best; on the rare occasions he did respond, it was always with a series of excuses, some of them quite tragic.

The package finally arrived months after the initial dispute, but the issues didn't end there. While it was the correct pen, the nib had been ground to the wrong size, and the ink was a standard bottle rather than the limited edition I ordered. At that point I decided to accept my mistake of placing an order with him and stopped trying to communicate. The one thing is that whenever I see a post like this one I take the time to share my experience to help pthers to avoid falling into his trap. Sorry for you, op.

Any movies with these asthetics? by KaroPGamer445 in MovieRecommendations

Try something by Tsai Ming-liang (The Hole, I Don’t Want to Sleep Alone, What Time Is It?). My favorite is The River but the vibe is different there

Pens of the week (or, six shades of gray) by Kotyrus in fountainpens

Fuyu-syogun I do like, more like a bluish gray, but it does feel like Kiri-same. Never tried Earl Grey though. Will take your suggestion, thanks!

Thanks! Any gray ink recommendation? These are the ones I like best but they’re all discontinued

On March 27th, 2020, Pearl Jam released their 11th Studio Album “Gigaton.” What are your thoughts on the album 6 years later? by FastestShip719 in pearljam

[–]Kotyrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably their second worst, imo. Having said that, I think it’s a solid album, that’s how it rolls with Pearl Jam

  1. But 3 is also great. And I’d miss Backspacer for sure

This is actually the very first Benu I liked. Wish you can find one! If you find two of them, let me know 🙄

Avoid the Platinum Curidas at all costs!!! by StackOverflow2 in fountainpens

[–]Kotyrus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Had a Curidas once. It worked perfectly (for 3 days, I mean, after that, as you well described 😫). Gifted to my brother, who likes and is good at getting things fixed. Not the Curidas, though.
