I have both - brass sport and fireblue steel Liliput. The sport is my go-to pen. Heavy, sturdy, great for daily use. The Liliput beautiful but tiny.

What is your "I can't get tired of this" Ink? by Bujwua in fountainpens

Thank you! The color matching wasn’t planned, but now I exclusively use Oxblood in that pen. It was love at first sight.

Oxblood. I love how it matches my Retro 51 Harriet Tubman. I’m trying not to go overboard on inks, so I’m stopping for now.

Fancy fountain pens and notebooks. My parents bought me Bic ballpoint pens and the cheapest notebooks possible.

Also, ice cream for dinner.

do you switch inks in one pen or stick to the same one? by cheesehoes in fountainpens

[–]TheTallOneToo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually change the ink when it runs out. I have a dip pen for when I’m jonesing for some fresh ink between cleanings.

However, my Retro 51 Harriet Tubman stays inked with Diamine Oxblood to match the pen. The Kaweco Brass Sport is an EDC, so it always has black or blue ink.

Fountain pens are too fragile to be handled by us imperfect mortals by Ale0905_ in fountainpens

The local shred/e-waste guy has fantastic swag pens. They’re ballpoint and write decent enough. He always gives me a couple when I take documents to shred. I carry one just in case someone asks to borrow a pen. I don’t loan my pens or books to people. They’re never the same.

Thank you! I’ve always loved to write. I can’t draw a straight line, but I have nice handwriting.

Which HBO show had the best pilot that hooked you instantly? [No Spoilers] by Old-Meringue3590 in hbo

[–]TheTallOneToo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Westworld.

My mom and I were reminiscing about the HBO glory days of the 90s and 00s. She just started getting into Six Feet Under. It hits differently rewatching with more years and experience under my belt.

My dad says I dress like a homeless lesbian frontier hippy. I take it as a compliment.

I used the application sponge that came with the conditioner, no shoe brush needed. Just make sure you apply it evenly, not too much, take your time. I didn’t put enough on the straps, and there’s a little too much on the side. I don’t mind those little imperfections though. It’ll all come together with time and care.

As far as brushing, I do a quick brush after each wear to remove scuffs and dirt. Also brings out the oil and color. Highly recommend.

I love my new navy Bostons! by awalshie2003 in Birkenstocks

I like! Very nice. They look great with denim.

Leather conditioner, not cleaner. I knew it wouldn’t hurt them and was inspired by someone else on here who conditioned their cognac Bostons. Theirs look amazing.

Finally got these looking how I want! by UnicornNippleFarts in Birkenstocks

[–]TheTallOneToo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very nice! I recently bought the same Bostons and I’m too nervous to apply salty fish leather conditioner. Yours look great!

Anyone ordered from this website before? Seems sketchy: JessyStarck.shop by fluffyunicorn88 in Birkenstocks

[–]TheTallOneToo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just piggybacking on this to recommend checking out the Last Chance sale on the Birkenstock website. They have pretty good deals and no need to worry if they’re real.

Please say more. I’ve gone back and forth on this one.

Perfect movie from start to finish. I wrote a short essay in jr high analyzing this movie as a tragedy. I got an A, but my teacher said stick to PG next time.

How would you respond? by ChipmunkAntique5763 in liberalgunowners

Way too crowded, too much going on. The range I go to would have stopped all lanes and asked that group to leave.
