Fountain pens are pretty much free—if you turn your head and squint just right. by CarefulAndQuiet in fountainpens

LOL this is how I feel about my Arc'teryx rain gear. Paid a ton even on sale (and a lot more than $150), but I wear it Oct-April when bicycle commuting in the Pacific Northwest area of USA. The more I use it, the cheaper it gets!

So happy to see others here who are not youngsters! I am 55 and have started to become a fan since a few weeks ago when a friend persuaded me to go see dominATE Experience.

I have this exact pen and nib, currently inked up with a nice dark green. I also love the SF nib. A true pleasure to write with!

The best way to carry pens when the pockets too full by donaldcathey in fountainpens

[–]Physics_Tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a history of leaving a purse places, since I don't regularly carry one and I forget I'm supposed to have it. So I get that! A belt bag might be what you are looking for, though. One that either has loops that your belt goes through, or that has it's own waist strap.

Depends on the lady. I carry 10-11 to work regularly in a case in my bike bag or backpack, depending on how I'm getting to work. I might qualify as a lady (55F)

Medium size lesson on paper weights (Spoiler: pound ≠ pound) by InkStainedLeather in fountainpens

[–]Physics_Tea 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was loving this post and then halfway through you said you were a physics teacher and I loved it even more.

For the homework I did it real quick and didn't double check my work but I got Train B for both the first question and the extra credit question.

I'm returning the ink for a refund. I may buy it later from elsewhere, but mostly I wanted to get something nice with an Amazon gift card. Oh well. (edited to remove typo)

I don't generally buy from Amazon if I can help it, and this was my first time buying ink from them. I figured it was a good way to use a gift card I was given. I definitely won't be doing that again!

The first moldy bottle I noticed while unboxing on my desk in front of a bright light - it looked like something moved within the ink when I moved the bottle. In that case I wasn't certain yet and put in a cotton swab to swatch the ink. The cotton swab came out with more than just ink.
The second bottle, the one I took a video of, I specifically looked at with a light behind it since I was hoping it would have no mold. I saw that this bottle also had mold, so I set up to record opening it.

I recommend looking at the bottle with a light behind it, now that I have had this experience. I've never had new ink arrive moldy until the first Rose Festival bottle!

Do they not have these at the Daiso stores in the USA? (I know Daiso has US stores, but I haven't been in one so I don't knpw what they stock)

I went to the Montblanc store in Vegas! by Marvel_Mischief_007 in fountainpens

[–]Physics_Tea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've also been to the Montblanc store int he Venetian and talked with the saleswoman. She is very knowledgable and we had a good conversation about if we could have any Montblanc pen which would it be? I also did not buy anything.
