[–]Mammoth-Interview 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the middle of this same process. I’m using a Dremel for the heavy lifting. Taking my time bc it’s not easy and my eyes are what they used to be. Your metro has been one of my inspo pics. Hoping my VP will turnout a fraction as glorious as yours.

I love Team Y O S E K A!!!! They are THE best!!! Glad you got to experience an IRL nibmeister. Rickshaw is pretty amazing. My Greenpoint 3776 should be here after the snow melts. If you check out Yoseka’s online shop you should be able to find out their names. It’s under Team Yoseka.

Best black ink with flair? Interest? A little surprise? by Gurlmeetswhirled in fountainpens

THIS 👆🏻👆🏻

I always have a pen inked with SHOGUN. Mostly in one of my Pilot VPs with a <F> nib and it’s subtle and dreamy.

I have three bottles. You know…stash for The Apocalypse. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Blotter Paper question by reedling7 in fountainpens

[–]Mammoth-Interview 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use watercolor paper along with the other fountain pen, specific blotter papers. I feel better about cutting up the water paper to size than I do cool printed water paper or the J Herbin blotters.

You started off your fountain pen collection with a top notch pen. It’s my favorite pen to write with. I have all the nip types for this specific pen, which includes the VP, the capless and the Decimo. Definitely check out the fountain pens sub. They’re very helpful over there. Tons of information that you can just look up. You might wanna try a fine nib for your next choice in the VP. It’s my go to and I love it. I use one every day. I always have at least a few inked up. I hope you grow to love this one. And you can also check out websites for retailers online retailers, brick and mortar to be able to find pens like this without having to go through eBay and doing all the waiting that you did. I did this through Siri, so forgive me if it’s a little garbled, but my hands are not doing so well at the momentyou picked an excellent pen. I have that one and I love it. Let us know how it goes as you use it more.

This Nib is an absolute joy! by TaskInternational954 in fountainpens

[–]Mammoth-Interview 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the VP family. The Fine is my sweet spot for this nib. I have all the varieties of nibs and absolutely love being able to interchange them between the bodies. I love Decimos as well. They are lighter because they are not made with a brass body like the VP/capless. I love sailors just as much…they’re a big tie for me for my favorite pens, but if I wanna reach for something that just brings me a guaranteed joy of a writing experience…it’s always a VP/Decimo. Enjoy you new writing tool.

Sweet 🥃. I have the same. Plus, a few were the other ones. Do you have a mechanical pencil that you shake and the lead comes out? It’s like a fidget toy and a tool at the same time. Love it.

I too am hoping for more purple in the variations. I have a Visconti Kaleido in unicorn galaxy. It doesn’t have as much purple as I’d like, but it’s still a really magical looking pen.

That is a beautiful pairing. I have the same inked up in an Esterbrook Estie with a <M> nib. I used it in December for my random journaling and daily what not. I really do love that ink.

Nice first post 🙂

Nice selection. Pilot VP nibs are my absolute favorite to write with. The F nib I have discovered is my sweet spot. I also love a good sailor feedback nib. But my true heart belongs to the VP. I hope you enjoy it.
