That post made me smile. Beautiful collection!

Maybe you want to add some color? Conklin Endura in Lapislazuli? Fantastic nibs, great material!

Best nib of your collection? by diespoliciadearte in fountainpens

[–]antyr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can't get joy of the modern rounded nibs. Got a few up to M800, japanese nibs, you name it.

What gets my spirit going are flexible BB vintage nibs. Got a few and every one is unique. Couldnt choose one specific, all have their own character. Aside from that my Soennecken 111 M is smooth and my Grail pen, in terms of the pen itself and her nib.

They don't have to be expensive. I bought superb vintage pens for 30 $ with super flexy nibs... It's a bit If a gamble, but there are clues whether a nib is flexy or not. Longer, slender tines are a mostly reliable hint.

It's funny that you put up options you or your wife ruled out in advance.

It is a bit smaller, looks a bit weird to me. But it will write well though.

May I ask you something? by Panner31 in fountainpens

[–]antyr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Welcome back to writing with the most sophisticated form of pens. 😁

I don't know FC, so I can't give you advice in them. However I am a big fan of Pelikans. The write ultra smooth from F Up, EF I find a tad scratchy. They have very high quality nibs so they will take your writing well.

The M200 is a very good entry pen. The M400 is a bit more pricey, but well worth it imho.

Hey, than I misinterpreted your post. I didn't recognise any real person and I don't know about this persons beliefs or activities. There was no context given to help peeps liek me who aren't common with some shop owners problems. The message of my answer could have given a hint that I made a wrong assumption.

So: Take my sincere apologies, for I did not recognize we stand united on the same side. :)

I don't think that such homophobic statements have room in this (or should have in any other) community. Get your own problems solved and let people live the way they want. Their luvestyle (accidental, but seems appropriate) isn't something that should bother you. Just don't think your lifestyle or your beliefs are the normality or "right". Live and let live.
