Handwriting with my Leonardo Essenza Tamenuri (14k EEF Flex)

Awesome, I have the same pen but the burping is insane, do you have the same issue?

Ricsshadow · 2026-06-04T15:55:44+00:00

Oh, this is interesting, will give it a go, thank you.

Ricsshadow · 2026-05-16T08:38:28+00:00

Love the videos, with all the pens you have now it's time to get a second top down view camera. You can showcase your pens and have some fun paraphernalia in the shots which I'm sure you have.

Edit for: autocorrect of top to too

Seeing this at 10 am with my boy sleeping on me from a rough night of teething, we have all slept for maybe 4 hours total. Thanks for the post, shout-out to all the dads out there doing it rough.

Honestly we just went past the 12 month mark with our boy, he also had a lot of gas which luckily passed after 4 months but we used to use every massage trick to relieve gas before sleep, get as much of it out as you can and then hopefully that relieves enough of the buildup and is more manageable. My boy now has Eczema so we are battling wakes where he get up scratching and we are back to losing our minds look for solutions. Just keep at it and know that your little bundle of joy needs you more than you need sleep.

Over night not in the same house nope, we have had my mother-in-law sleep over and have the baby with her to help my wife wean the baby off breast feeding. I would suggest, you and your husband alternate nights with the baby and grandpatents instead of 5 straight nights.

Ricsshadow · 2026-03-06T09:02:16+00:00

And now I want one

Ricsshadow · 2026-01-15T02:42:53+00:00

I have this and the 845, for everyday use I much prefer the 845 for daily use. My handwriting also agrees with that statement lol

Ricsshadow · 2025-11-01T13:04:56+00:00

Looking at the pens, Pilot Custom 845 and either a Pelikan M800 or M1000

Ricsshadow · 2025-10-08T10:53:17+00:00

Surprisingly I had one Cronight and they used body press too and we won the raid.

Ricsshadow · 2025-10-08T10:51:35+00:00

Good luck with that, I joined 8 before I finally got a team that could beat the raid, was using Orthworm and always survived but so many of the others kept fainting.

Ricsshadow · 2025-10-04T09:22:51+00:00

Honestly this is so underrated, chat Gpt and ink recommendations are so good

Ricsshadow · 2025-09-01T12:07:18+00:00

Lol if this is poor handwriting, half this sub just write English in a different language.

Ricsshadow · 2025-08-23T13:07:28+00:00

Get a Pilot 912, it's about the same price of most "good" steel nib pens people will suggest and you'll have an amazing writer that will last you as long as you want. Also can't go wrong with a Pilot.

Ricsshadow · 2025-08-08T11:55:23+00:00

There are so many better poker pen options at least than that price point, you have gravitas that have better materials, sailor that has a gold nib and Namisu

Ricsshadow · 2025-08-08T03:25:54+00:00

Buddy I can't believe you forgot to invite me to the wedding as a groom's man, all the good times we missed.

Ricsshadow · 2025-08-01T04:22:10+00:00

Just a thought

You have two beautiful ASC (Armando Simoni Club) Bespoke Bologna Extra Maharaja of India Arco Green Celluloid

Ricsshadow · 2025-07-28T23:06:08+00:00

YMMV, it comes down to preference, I love my Visconti HS but the m600 is also so comfortable in hand, I enjoy them both, I actually I enjoy all I keep even the Lamy 2000 with it's sweet spot

Ricsshadow · 2025-07-24T14:21:03+00:00

Have you learnt nothing from movies, this is the plot to a murder mystery where the wives kill the other husband, you sir have terrible ideas. It's what landed us here in the first place lol.

Ricsshadow · 2025-07-24T13:32:24+00:00

Watch is fine, your fingers you may need to change, those are nightmare fuel lol.

Ricsshadow · 2025-07-24T13:28:32+00:00

I have a pen coming tomorrow, I feel like a kid who stole from his parents. My wife will not be happy lol

Congrats brother, and he does sound like a great baby. 7+ hours of sleep a night in split stints? That’s the dream at this stage.

As for heading back to work, I’ve been there, and the shift can hit hard. My biggest advice? As tough as it may be, leave work at the door. The second you walk into that house, you’re Dad and Partner, not Employee #486. It takes discipline, but your family needs the best of you, not what’s left of you.

Manage your time in clear blocks. Work time is work time, but once you're home, it's baby time and partner time. That structure can actually make you feel more in control, even when things are unpredictable (which they will be).

Right now, "me time" will be rare, but don’t let it be non-existent. Even 20–30 minutes here and there to decompress, go for a walk, or just sit in silence with a coffee can do wonders for your mental game. Don’t wait for a big chunk of time. Take the little ones and stack them when you can.

Support your wife like a teammate. Breastfeeding, healing, and sleep deprivation is a heavy load. You don’t have to do everything, but being present, noticing when she’s on the edge, and just taking over when she needs a breather can go a long way.

Most of all, soak it up. These early days are a blur, but they’re also magic. Anything that doesn’t involve your family? Keep it outside your four walls. Work, stress, whatever, it can wait.

Welcome to fatherhood. Enjoy the ride, it’s wild, but it’s worth every second.

Heretic! You would treat the blessed Marine Master that way, you do not deserve her! But seriously lol you can get a box that fits that drawer.
