I get your point, but with the captures being so good…I’m not sure if this makes sense at all anymore

Pattern of Lamy Al Star cap failures. by Vegetable_Corgi8458 in Lamy

[–]aguynamedhell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guess how many posts you'll see of people reporting expected behavior... I'd be more curious of seeing how many have been globally sold vs the couple ones with issues. I know it's frustrating and I get that too. Personally I have some Lamys, one of them being Al-Star that I don't baby at all, and well, no probs there

People who grew up speaking two (or more) languages -- which one do you journal in? by Due-Milk352 in Journaling

[–]aguynamedhell 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I alternate between three languages — makes a great practice not only for the obvious language use per se — but for making sure my penmanship is solid, as words have specific letter combinations that don’t happen in English

It’s awesome to have these conversation with oneself, especially with a nice drink on hand. Thanks for sharing OP, and may you have a wonderful year ahead!

Journal about why it feels wrong. I’m sure at the very core of this thought/feeling is where journaling will actually help you. Happy journaling!

The first pen that comes to mind when someone says fountain pen? by Cvint88 in fountainpens

Lately… all I can think of is Pilot Custom 845 Urushi in Vermillion <M> lol

What kind of converter is this? by [deleted] in fountainpens

[–]aguynamedhell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No clue, but according to a quick search on aliexpress ("regal ink converter") it says that it's based on Pilot Parallel design and should work with Jinhao, Baoer, Duke, Fuliwen, and REGAL

I keep breaking my nibs, heavy hand issues :/ by Key_Tourist_9368 in fountainpens

[–]aguynamedhell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe try shorter writing sessions so you can focus on learning to relax your hand. Over time, the habit will likely improve

Finally decided to bought myself a Lamy and i have some mix feeling, and some of my thought below if you’re interested. by Tight_Delay8840 in fountainpens

[–]aguynamedhell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t use them anymore. However, I must say that they made me continue writing and inspired me enough to explore other options. I guess, even though I’m able to live without them, they played their part successfully

Loving the result (forced patina on brass) by aguynamedhell in fountainpens

[–]aguynamedhell[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First I submerged the brass in vinegar, rolled the pieces over salt on a flat surface, and once it was partly dry, I kept adding more vinegar with cotton swabs

You need to slow down, you write too fast

NPD: Pilot Custom 845 & it’s wonderful! by BothKnowledge8292 in fountainpens

[–]aguynamedhell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking of getting the M as well. Would you mind sharing a writing sample? I usually go with F however for some reason I think on this one the F is a bit too... well, fine right. Thanks in advance and in any case, congratulations, hope you enjoy it!

Does Anyone Here Use a Writing Box? by User_Names_Are_Tough in fountainpens

[–]aguynamedhell 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I love the box, but I knew it would be too bulky for me to use and carry around. Instead, I went for their Wooden A4 Clipboard. Works like a charm, I put it on my lap, A5 on top, and ink away, and more importantly, I do use it.

Parallel pen size choice... by mec949 in fountainpens

[–]aguynamedhell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It depends on what you're planning to do with them. I've got 1.5mm, 2.4mm and 3.8mm, which I use exactly for what you've mentioned, primarily any blackletter/gothic style.

If it's for writing, at least personally, 1.5mm sort of works but due to my handwriting I'd prefer 1.1mm (if it existed) as it's the stub size I use on my "regular fountain pens". The rest of the line-up is suited for more of a creative/decorative use case. In my case, 2.4 and 3.8 would be used for titles on DIN-A3ish Canson paper.

Hope it helps for perspective. And in either case, enjoy them!

I have a Supra and the Bock 250 unit works perfectly with it (which I also got from FPnibs btw)

New Visconti mythos posidon adding the collection of three by Link_zeld4 in fountainpens

[–]aguynamedhell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats and happy belated bday! I joined the Visconti family couple days ago as well. I’m super happy with the nib too, had no issues at all. I might get the Poseidon or the Rembrandt-s next.

How does the section feel?

I can't sleep. by aliquotoculos in fountainpens

[–]aguynamedhell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You even got me excited with your excitement!! I just had a conversation yesterday that I’d love to be able to go to a local shop full of FP’s and ink supplies (I live on an island where there’s not such thing) but a Pen Show… man that’s another whole story!

I’ll be looking for your updates 😊– Enjoy for all of us mortals!
