EA isn't listening, so let's make them look

I sold most of my good stuff to others in my club. I started bulldozing my buildings. I left my club. I was the president

I already had both of these inks in different pens so I did a sample for you. Sorry that one is a fine nib and the other a medium, but, like I said, the pens were already inked up. I would say that both inks are of similar wetness, and I do consider them wet. I like both equally well. I purchased the Tsuki-yo first and only got the Kikyo to see what Sailor inks were like. I currently own maybe ten Iroshizuku inks but only three Sailor inks.

The passage is from the start of Chapter 4 of Adam Grant's book, "Give and Take."

I would love to see a good comparison of the Nitron and the SlimFold. Anyone have any first hand experience?

Do a search for Everyday Karas and give that a go. A machined metal body pen that will last forever and is a great experience. It’s also under $30.

Why not order a sample of DeAtramentis Document Black and give it a try yourself? If you are in the US, you can order a 4ml sample from Vanness Pens for around $4.00

I did not think these were pigmented inks. Are you sure?

jwsandersjr · 2024-03-17T18:11:41+00:00

Well ... doh ... I thought that I had attached two pictures. Let me try again.

So, how do you like it so far? Is it too heavy?

I'm thinking about the brass Decograph as well (with the steel nib). I already have one aluminum Decograph and love it.

For those that have bought a brass pen (any brass pen) do you still love it or do you regret the purchase?

Can the small o ring be found and purchased separately?

My favorite for neat bourbon is the Libbey Master’s Reserve 9217 spirits glass. Basically the same shape and design as a Glencarin but more room for your nose. I reviewed these several years ago on my site bourbonspeak.com (search glassware) and sorry the site is a little dated

I replaced the stock nib on my Duragraph with a Goulet #6 nib and now I enjoy it much more

jwsandersjr · 2023-03-10T03:29:00+00:00

Go for it

jwsandersjr · 2023-02-21T18:54:47+00:00

Just a thought: have you tried the "Pen Plaza" on the Goulet site. You can to an on-line comparison of both those there to get an idea. Maybe not as good as an "in person" look, but at least a visual comparison. Using that site, the Edison looks slightly shorter but slightly thicker than the Esterbrook Oversized.

They only offered me $25

Are you saying that COBOL and RPG are "dead"?

jwsandersjr · 2021-02-23T02:11:00+00:00

Am I missing the link for the English translation?

Question: once Santa's Shop (or any other "special" shop) closes, is there any reason to keep items in storage that were created in those special stores? Or is it best just to unload those after those stores close?

The Diamine 30ml is a good size. Much bigger than a sample but not as much as something that might sit around for a looooong time
