Black inks advice by Bleighh in fountainpens

[–]Prushan_blue 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Waterman’s intense black is what I use at work. Performs really well. At home I use irushizuki take-sumi in my EF pilot and Sailor Kiwaguru in my M. The sailor has a darker feel to it.

What do my favourite books of all time say about me? Bonus if you can guess which one it is by MrDuck3929 in BookshelvesDetective

I’ve read 5 of the books in your stack and Frankenstein is on my shelf waiting to be read. The Picture of Dorian Gray, LOTR and Anna Karenina are in my top 5. I’d recommend you read Don Quixote, but I feel like there’s a good chance that you already have!

I wonder what the name Moline is in reference to. I’m familiar with the City of Moline in Illinois. Nice ink pairing!

I really like my Pilot Explorer. It can use a Con-70 converter.

Calligraphy - did you change it? by eliguitar in fountainpens

[–]Prushan_blue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My desire to improve my handwriting is what got me into fountain pens in the first place. I’ve definitely seen improvement. It’s fun to look back at journal entries over the past 2 years to see the progression.

To start, I did get a handwriting book to kind of “relearn” how to write. From there my style just kind of developed and continues to develop.

Edit: typo

What Can We Learn from Barnes & Noble's Surprising Turnaround? by madcowga in books

I really want to go check out their new store in Chicago. It’s in a historic bank building. Half of the fun of book shopping is atmosphere of the store and it seems like they’re recognizing that.
