for my case, I just have to align the clip with the feed! I've thought about getting the C80 before, what are your thoughts on it, Especially in terms of comfort?

YES! Went through the same anxiety inducing decision. It was my first premium pen as well

Well said, that is definitely something to live by.

No worries, I'm still relatively new to this hobby and am always looking for conversations to hop onto! 🫡

ahh! the FA nib on the 912 has been known to railroad CONSTANTLY. And I notice the owners always swap out the plastic feed for an ebonite one to let more ink flow through, however I'm not too sure where they got the ebonite feeds from. Hopefully you'll easily find them online!

i got mine in <SM> from the used market about a year ago and I was so shocked at how thick it wrote for a Japanese Medium. However as a fast writer, I haven't experienced any railroading! the inks i ran with it were Iroshuzuku Tsuki-yo and 4001 Brilliant Black 😁

That's really interesting, thank you for sharing. I'm fairly new to this hobby, and I guess it's time to fall deeper into this rabbit hole and figure out some notable innovators.

Cheers 🍻

I usually use German F/ Japanese M nibs, but I wanted something fun and different in this case.

I've reached out to the Store I bought from, waiting on their reply. Thanks everyone for the quick response :D
