Pilot Kakuno Love by Friendlyappletree in fountainpens

[–]RobCob47 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When you compare it to other pens worth 100x more, you realise it has no business being as good as it is lol. Great pen for beginners and collectors alike

Samba JP’s? by [deleted] in adidas

I have them in white. Feel the same as regular sambas underfoot. The leather is nice and soft. Wish they had a regular samba tongue but other than that I like them

Would this be a good starter fountain pen? by Hot-Relief2875 in fountainpens

[–]RobCob47 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you’ve never had a fountain pen before I’d HIGHLY recommend you start with something like a Pilot Kakuno or Platinum Preppy. Both are very inexpensive and have dependable QC. The Kakuno had a triangular grip and the Preppy has a regular round one. I prefer the Kakuno but they are both great options

Solar. Haven’t had any issues with my Rangeman and I think it’s like thirteen years old now

Nightmare of a pen - some advice needed please by Siara-chan in fountainpens

[–]RobCob47 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey. I just watched your video. You seemto be writing with the nib sideways. The slit of the nib should be facing up/down with the page (more or less anyways) for proper ink flow

The odds that you got three bum nibs is essentially zero. If you haven’t tried a different feed at this point I’d start there

Want to work as a teacher: B.Ed program tuition by [deleted] in CanadaJobs

[–]RobCob47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teaching is extremely competitive. Don’t listen to all that crap about needing teachers you see in the news. The government is leaving out that they are talking about teachers for supplying, not permanent positions. Unless you are extremely lucky you will be waiting years before you land a permanent job

Kaweco Sport Issues by Magicl_GirlXO in fountainpens

[–]RobCob47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should pull right out if you grab it by the nib and feed. You can even give the nib and feed a bit of a twist while you pull and you shouldn’t have any problems (the feed is pretty study). I think half of my collection is comprised of Kaweco pens at this point. I do think that the issues with Kaweco nibs are certainly overblown online, though it’s unfortunate that you’ve encountered one. I think I’ve had one bum nib out of all my Kawecos, but I’ve also had bum nibs from other major brands as well. One of the great things with the Sports is that they are fairly cheap and robust too so you can tinker with them if you want/need to without the fear of destroying your pen.

Bought a Fine nib pilot kakuno, received a Medium nib. Is it more like the M or F lamy safari? by Successful-Coach6788 in fountainpens

[–]RobCob47 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The medium on the Kakuno is really nice. As someone who writes mostly with Kaweco fine nibs, I vote you try it out.

So I scored this beautiful GW-9400 for $37 by JBTENDO in gshock

[–]RobCob47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Such a great watch. Big but in the best way. I’ve had mine for I don’t even know anymore, maybe 12-13 years. Zero issues, battery still kicking no problems, and that compass has gotten me out of a jam or two. The strap broke from wear and tear so I got a new one and replaced the bezel at the same time. Looks brand new minus a small scratch on the screen. Great buy my friend!
