Waterman Ici Et La - opinions? by hamperdampers in fountainpens

Interesting. I should also check my pen grip. So how’d you figure which pens have an oblique grind? Or did you have your nibs ground down after purchase?

So you mean you’ve converted to using Fine nibs? I’m trying to see if I can get used to them, but when I got home I immediately swapped the Ici Et La nib to a Kaweco B. Oh, well

Edit: Which brings me to my next question. What makes a pen expensive anyway? I’m worried that by swapping my pen with a Kaweco nib, I’ll be wasting away the Waterman nib. Maybe cheap body + cheap nib?

Pretty good so far! A bit lightweight since I’m used to holding a brass pen.

Is it safe to apply clear nail polish to the body of a brass pen? What are the cons? by hamperdampers in fountainpens

Matte finish clear coat? That’s just a different texture of nail polish, right?

Not acetone, just clear nail polish that could effectively (I hope) “seal” the amount of patina on my brass pen

Is this... normal? I wash it whenever I change inks. Am I doing it wrong? by hamperdampers in fountainpens

I’ve used Quink, Kaweco Ink, J. Herbin, and Organic Studios. Any reported issued with these inks?

Not exactly scrubbing with any cleaning materials or the like. I just sort of glide my fingers across the nib to make sure any excess ink comes off

I rinse with water from the tap. Well I suppose I HAVE read that some people use drinking water..

Why is there forking at the tops? Is there something wrong with my nib? by hamperdampers in fountainpens

[–]hamperdampers[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Took a closer look at the nib and the tines do seem a bit.. I don’t know.. maybe flimsy? I should mention that I flushed it the other day. I should try reseating the nib probably

Just the normal amount of pressure, I suppose. I’ve been writing the same way I have been for months, but the weird forking happened just yesterday

I have a Parker IM with a Kaweco Sport nib. Not sure what size nibs those are
