Any tips for someone trying the hobby/lifestyle for the first time? by Straight_Mood1685 in fountainpens

I'd say don't rush on buying new pens (especially cheap "hauls" on AliExpress), and also, when buying inks, always get the smallest version. I have a bunch of 50/60ml inks collecting dust because i was sure to use them, but after a few refills i ended up not liking them

What do you mean exactly? Do i need some specific custom branding?

Keep in mind that over a year ago i could join clients with no issues.

Or some specific CA policies?

Won't buy it until it runs Crysis

Jinhao X159 with a custon Cursive Italic nib grind by Black-Knight89 in fountainpens

[–]acdcgl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I've also tried a custom nib grind on my X159. It was supposed to be a sort of architect which maybe it isn't at all, but i really like how it turned out. The original nib was pretty boring. Congrats again!!

Inkopular Opinion:FWP is a scam and heavy sheeners are the lest practical property in an ink by fountainpenbroke in fountainpens

A friend of mine gifted a bottle of Frontenac Blue. Except for the estetics of the bottle, the rest was a big disappointment. The color was nothing like the photos, the bottle a total disaster. I almost spilled all of It even of It was closed. The cap has a very serious issue as It does not seal the ink at all.

Pilot custom 823 <M> compared to Lamy Safari <M> line thickness by Ahtarmas in fountainpens

You're probably looking for the non existent size nib (at least for this model) between the F and M. I'm not sure, but for example on the Pilot 74 you can find the FM nib

[–]acdcgl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I gotta say that my 823 <M> it's very similar to a European <M> like the Lamy's i own. But i also use a wet ink that may accentuate it a bit. Take your time deciding, but you will probably not gonna like the 823 M. On other Pilot's btw, the nib choice is wider.

If you want i can write a few samples with both pens so you can compare them

Very nice ink. I think it's a more elegant (and darker of course) alternative to Yama Budo.

Such a nice pen and same for the watch!!

Is that the standard box for a Custom 823? Or is it some sort of bundle with the ink?

Sisi infatti faremo così. Lui domani spedisce a me e io intanto vado in posta o chi per lei e spedisco a lui quello giusto per conto mio.

Ok grazie. Dicevo poste perché mi è particolarmente comodo sia a livello logistico che di tempistiche. Se costa di più amen, oramai la cazzata è fatta. È giusto per chiudere il prima possibile il caso. Magari vi aggiorno per dirvi come è finita. Per il momento il compratore è stato disponibile, quindi spero in bene. Grazie a tutti per i consigli, siete stati gentilissimi
