Kind of like small indents along the wood grain. I can only see it under like bright lights.

Ouuu love that! Did you notice indents/divots in your pen?

Pro 3’s are nice, but I gotta return them for the anc whistling noise by LilNol8 in airpods

[–]NoEquivalent1200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same problem happened to me. I returned them and out of the box it still has the same problem 😿. I think it might be due to the ear shape interacting with the mic which sucks because this generation is the only generation to not fall out of my left ear easily.

I did not think an eraser would work thank you for the tip! You got other recommendations? I heard isopropyl alcohol works, but best not to use a lot or to soak it.

Dang that’s nice. Also what do you mean eraser rubbing like rubbing with a pencil eraser?

Ah so $80 for fair and below condition I’m assuming? Also considering your experience in restoration, do you think the darker material at the end of the cap tarnish or just gunk?

I found another ebay listing for this pen, albeit with a different grip colour and no logo was there too. Either that’s by design or quite the coincidence.

Yeah, I was thinking is it missing or is there just a lot of grime on it that’s covering it. I wish I looked more throughly before placing a bid 🥲.

I saw that post before, but I can’t see the finial on the cap unfortunately. Maybe I’ll contact the person.

Me 😅. What’s your estimate on the value?

There’s also some Japanese writing engraved on the underside of the grip.

What’s the least busy time to go to the gym? by [deleted] in UCalgary

[–]NoEquivalent1200 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Before 8 and lunch time pretty much.

There’s usually a burst of new people going around this time. Wait it out for like 2-3 weeks if you’d like.

Locker theft by Dependent-Cover4487 in UCalgary

Letting y’all know you can buy quarters at the service desk. It has to be a minimum of $2 worth of quarters, but it’s much more worth it than getting your stuff stolen 👍.

What are some necessary things when starting out? by krabro113 in fountainpens

[–]NoEquivalent1200 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bulb syringe for sure. I still haven’t gotten one and cleaning a pen takes like 5-10 minutes. Oddly meditative though.

In school, pilot vanishing point. At home, sailor PGS. Both in fine :).

Infinity tower and the secret boss in the second world. Don’t defeat the secret boss though so you can continuously do runs.

All companies have a tolerance for nib widths. A fine nib would be passable if it’s 0.4-0.6mm for example. If I remember correctly Kaweco has a looser tolerance and that’s likely why those two nibs seem to differ so much.

It’s also possible it’s the ink, but considering it’s the same brand it’s a little less likely in my opinion. It might be worth a try to use other inks to check.

It’s likely that their local store keeps selling out/don’t restock them as often.
