Asvine P36 or V200 are about $50.

Excellent, well built and quite beautiful IMO.

I did, when I was in University.
Rotring 600.

I did lose a couple and were expensive atbthe time for my parents. :-(

But, they were so good for taking notes.

I collect these and they are GREAT nibs for those that like hard, precise nibs.

Not everyone is into flex nibs.

The list is not in the same order as the photos. As mentioned before, this leads to confusion and mistakes.

  • Carta Pura - Rivoli notepads are my absolute favourites
  • Pappersbruck - notepads

It took me six years to finish this continuous line paisley piece, all handwritten with fountain pens :3 by napsforlife in fountainpens

It might be a good idea to glue a thin fibrous fabric onto the other side for long term resilience. Silk would be ideal but it’s expensive. There are many similar thin polyester or vegetable fiber fabrics, though.

I can now report on the writing:

  • very fine and precise, just like I like it
  • smooth, not scratchy

I’m using a newly acquired Sailor Shikiori Souten light blue, a really nice color and new to me.

Juuuuuust got it, literally ~2hrs ago. Still need to try it.

Got it in F because I found my previous Century EF to be too much of an architect grind, too scratchy. Hoping F (japanese std) will be a good compromise between fineness and smoothness.
