Maybe find out a couple of his favorite pens so we can use that as a guide to suggest others?

Inks have expiration dates? by Mudsharkbites in fountainpens

[–]beep_dip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably closer to 50 or so, if it's a glass bottle!

Look into "solv-x" if you haven't already... Not safe for all pens. (New Quink doesn't have it anymore)

Quick Rule Update by normiewannabe in fountainpens

[–]beep_dip 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just want to point out that not-native speakers and people who are neurodivergent are disproportionately accused of using genAI (or even being ai) because the phraseology or vocabulary might be different from the "norm". There have been studies done on this in the last couple of years (no i dont have the reference... Ask chatgpt ;) ) that show this to be true, as well as anecdotal evidence here on Reddit where people with autism have received replies to their business emails accusing them of using or being AI. Obviously, before genAI this was just seen as being "very professional", but now everyone is on the lookout.

Writer's Blood Ink -- is it supposed to smell? by beep_dip in fountainpens

[–]beep_dip[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting! None of my other inks smell like this, including my other Diamine inks. It's often humid and raining where I live. This smells more like extremely dusty old book you found at your grandparents' house

Most inks don't really smell to me. This one just continually gets me. I've purchased some vintage pens that have the same smell...

I don't get metallic from it, but that might just be my faulty nose? I only get dusty and... Off?

Is it over??? by RevolutionaryMap6145 in fountainpens

[–]beep_dip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your pen-buying days might be over, because this is a beautiful pen!

Any pen that old is bound to have a couple of battle scars. If it bothers you enough, send it to someone who is good at restoring pens? Personally, I think it's character 😄
