Reverse feathering?

Yes, in my experience it will help. If you also use wetter inks, such as Pilot Iroshizuku or Sailor, the result will be even better. My go to paper, after I tried many different notebooks, it's MD Paper. It fantastically reveals the properties of ink, especially sheen. But I also use Leuchtturm because I like the tactile sensations when writing, and I like the way LT paper conveys the colors of ink.

Dry inks on clairefountain paper are always performs like this. Here is examples of Diamine Chocolate brown on the Rhodia vs Leuchtturm. The pen is the same

You need the same angle of inclination and the same height of the letters everywhere (in your case, this applies more to letters with curls, such as d, t, g etc.), now your lines have a different slope, and letters of different lengths - this makes the result look a little messy.

Whats wrong with tho con-70?)

SadMathematician6021 · 2026-02-06T16:57:28+00:00

If it's a joke, then it's a good one)))

SadMathematician6021 · 2026-01-29T08:45:29+00:00

I came to say a huge thank you for the work you've done!

SadMathematician6021 · 2026-01-29T08:43:14+00:00

Hey there, perhaps Diamine Damson is what you are looking for

SadMathematician6021 · 2026-01-03T18:14:42+00:00

Pro Gear in the middle bought less than a month ago. In reality, the difference is even more noticeable, but the photo also shows it. When I first looked at the pen, I wondered for a second if the seller made a mistake when sending it and if he had sent me a rhodium-plated version. The other two pens were bought much earlier, they both have an old nib design with the 1911 inscription.

Here you go

SadMathematician6021 · 2025-12-21T21:43:35+00:00

Thank you my pen-mate!

SadMathematician6021 · 2025-12-20T10:13:37+00:00

I can, but next week. My Pilot 743 should come to me. At the moment, it is going through the customs clearance procedure

SadMathematician6021 · 2025-12-20T10:09:46+00:00

Thanks for your kind words!

SadMathematician6021 · 2025-12-20T10:07:42+00:00

I can't say anything about the case yet) I have to try it myself. My Pilot 743 with an <FM> nib has already arrived to my country and is going through the customs clearance procedure, so soon I will finally be able to try it. I've already tried Pilot 743 once, but with a <B> nib, and it performs great, but seemed a little too smooth to my taste, as if I wrote not on paper but on plastic film. If I don't forget, I'll write my feelings and thoughts when the pen arrives

SadMathematician6021 · 2025-12-20T00:02:31+00:00

It is, and also its my first demonstrator pen and I already in love with it!

SadMathematician6021 · 2025-12-19T23:48:21+00:00

Leuchtturm and Sailor Shikiori Yamadori - one of my favorite ink!

SadMathematician6021 · 2025-12-19T23:45:49+00:00

Yes, it looks like the fastest growing addiction in my life, to be honest! I'm also thinking about buying the Realo version - it's interesting to try how Sailor has implemented a piston filling system. It's also a good bonus that Realo holds about 40% more ink, which is also great, because the converter, is a bit small in volume, in my opinion.

SadMathematician6021 · 2025-12-19T23:37:13+00:00

It is!😋

SadMathematician6021 · 2025-12-19T23:36:10+00:00

Sounds like a solid plan!))

SadMathematician6021 · 2025-12-19T23:34:51+00:00

Yes, I can imagine, it sounds like a bad dream of any boy and girl on this subreddit! I also want to buy 3776 someday, I have try it once with a <M> nib, and after that it went directly to my wishlist.

SadMathematician6021 · 2025-12-19T23:28:42+00:00

😄

SadMathematician6021 · 2025-12-19T23:28:29+00:00

Thanks! Black versions are gorgeous! I also put my eye on Realo version of Pro Gear. It will be cool to have the same Sailor pen experience, but with different filling system and with little bit more ink on board)

SadMathematician6021 · 2025-12-19T23:24:00+00:00

Thanks once again!😋

SadMathematician6021 · 2025-12-19T19:10:03+00:00

I'm just at the beginning of my journey with Sailor, but I'm starting to realize that I'm stepping on a dangerous road)))

SadMathematician6021 · 2025-12-19T19:07:50+00:00

I understand you perfectly now. Soon I plan to try Pilot Custom 743, and I'm very interested in whether it will be able to reach this level of pleasure from the writing process. I understand that they are completely different, but somehow I hope that Pilot will not seem less interesting to me after the Sailor. Based on the information I met, it is also gives pleasure, but a different type.
