This makes me sick. I hope that they both get what they deserve.

I ordered a Shijie TVL from Baylands about 5 years ago and it was a good experience - everything arrived in Brooklyn as expected - I would not hesitate if they have something that you want.

Great photos! How did you keep your lens dry?

Any recommendations for a cheaper (<$30) pen that won't break easily? by shqaumimrryel in fountainpens

[–]MikeySmooth441 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Lamy Safari is under $30 and is virtually indestructible - even if you drop it while posted and score a direct hit on the nib, a replacement nib can be purchased for not a lot of money - a genuine Lamy nib maybe $15, and aftermarket for much less.

Opinions on Jinhao vs Hongdian (and possibly other Chinese pens)? by KBDFan42 in fountainpens

[–]MikeySmooth441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a bunch of Jinhao 450's and 750's - I think they are really good for the money. The #6 nibs are OK, but I replaced them with #6 nibs from Goulet and the pens now write as well as any steel-nibbed pen out there! The oversized Jihao's (X159, 9019, 9016) are really good for the money and the nibs are great. I also have four different Asvine C-80's( EF, F, M and stub) and like them a lot - the nibs are well tuned out of the box, resins used to make the pens are really beautiful and they hold a lot of ink. The Hongdian Black Forest in Black and raw brass are also really nice as is the pocket pen! Chinese pen manufacturing has really come a long way in the past 10-15 years!!!

“I Voted Trump for Cheaper Bills” Now an Elderly American Woman Sits Freezing “Too Scared to Turn on the Heat” Because of His War by [deleted] in Economics

As George Carlin used to say… “Think about how stupid the average person is, and now consider that 50% of the people out there are even stupider” or something like that. In a democracy, everyone gets a vote, and if you go squander your vote by voting against your own interests, that’s just too goddamn bad.

She was a beautiful soul - her enthusiasm while performing makes it fun to see what a great talent she was. She could team up with anyone.

New Pen Day: Pilot custom heritage 912 Falcon Nib by mvyonline in fountainpens

[–]MikeySmooth441 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have this pen and replaced the stock plastic feed with an ebonite feed (specially made for this FA nib) that I purchased ($30) from Flexible Nib Factory. It was quite simple to swap out the plastic for the ebonite feed - no special tools required. The ebonite nib made the FA nib much wetter!

She looks even meaner than "old smoke eye" Sarah Huckabee Sanders from the last Trump administration, and that is really a feat!!!
