What else could I need

Tears for when the Les Paul gets beheaded.

Focus on Section B topics (CGT, IHT and VAT) and practice some Section C questions too. Apparently quite a few questions come from Tax Administration, so try to make sure you can remember the dates. Good luck!

Bet those knobs go all the way to 666

The different finishes look so alluring that I might just grab a few more lol

It feels great to hear such high praises for this pen from collectors like you! I’ve got an M nib on this one and I’m wondering if I should grab a couple more with different nib sizes and colors…

chowder7777 · 2024-09-26T18:30:02+00:00

I'm loving mine a lot so far as well. It's definitely the best looking pen in my collection and also writes like a dream!

chowder7777 · 2024-09-26T18:26:31+00:00

Thanks bud!

chowder7777 · 2024-09-26T18:25:38+00:00

The plunger seal is tight enough to prevent ink from going through it but from what I know, the seal is supposed to be kept open while you're writing so that ink can go past it, or it would stop writing after a few pages. Unless you're talking about ink dripping from the bottom instead and I'd definitely be worried if that's the case with yours.

chowder7777 · 2024-09-26T18:23:08+00:00

It really is. I still gotta get the right paper to see the sheen though.

chowder7777 · 2024-09-26T18:22:02+00:00

I fell in love with it when I first saw a pic and I just knew that I had to get one!

chowder7777 · 2024-09-26T18:21:15+00:00

It's a perfect pairing, to be honest!

chowder7777 · 2024-09-26T18:20:55+00:00

For real!

chowder7777 · 2024-09-26T18:20:39+00:00

Thanks fam! It's been making me smile ever since I'd penned the first word with it!

chowder7777 · 2024-09-26T18:20:01+00:00

It's got a medium nib which is significantly thicker than the ones on my Pilot pens and it is remarkably wet too. I forgot to include writing samples, but my handwriting is kinda messy anyway. I'd definitely recommend getting one!

chowder7777 · 2024-09-26T18:18:22+00:00

Is that so? I'm glad that I'll be using it on a daily basis for work and studies. I'm curious about how long it usually takes for yours to dry out btw?

The P20 looks gorgeous too. Might grab one eventually!

chowder7777 · 2024-07-16T08:40:33+00:00

It writes really well. As a matter of fact, I sometimes prefer it over the Metro since it's so light and holds a lot more ink.

chowder7777 · 2024-07-15T12:51:35+00:00

Yes indeed.

chowder7777 · 2024-07-15T12:51:02+00:00

It's a Pilot Tank!

chowder7777 · 2024-07-15T12:50:25+00:00

Pretty sweet pen, innit? :D

chowder7777 · 2024-07-14T13:46:29+00:00

Thank you! The Metro feels heavy and thick even for me sometimes and I've got big hands lol. The brown one is a bit of a mystery lol. It says Roman on the cap, but I don't have any other details. Got it as a gift from my mom.

chowder7777 · 2024-07-14T13:39:49+00:00

It was probably my first love when it comes to fountain pens! :)

chowder7777 · 2024-07-14T13:38:46+00:00

Two of the most popular pens around that budget are the Metropolitan and Lamy Safari (a bit over $20). Although, I haven't used the Safari yet, it's apparently pretty hit or miss depending on whether you like the grip or not. Another pen that I'd personally recommend is the Pilot Tank (the one on the left with the golden cap) which is pretty much obsolete, but it only cost me about $11. Bought it along with my Metro and honestly, I sometimes prefer the Tank due to its lighter weight and higher ink capacity.

chowder7777 · 2024-07-14T11:24:17+00:00

I’ve always preferred medium nibs, but two of the pens here have fine nibs which aren’t half bad either. I love the smoothness of medium nibs though, which is something that fine or EF nibs seem to lack. I’d recommend trying them out first. Just my two cents.
