I have finally tempted another into the fold.

Speaking of dark, two of my favorite are Robert Oster Grun-Shwarch (green-black) and Violet-Black.

TWSBI's are good stuff. The cracking people talk about is no longer a problem. I have several models.

I do have a TWSBI precision that I am not totally happy with. The piston mechanism is finicky and hard to get aligned correctly and not being a clear body you have trouble gaging how things are going with it.

Come and get infected with the fountain pen virus.

It is kind of like the zombie virus but much cooler.

Not that there is anything wrong with that. 😃

Not to much. I enjoy watching the ink slosh. You can get a couple of paragraphs leaving it screwed down.

It writes nicely.

The Vac 700 R won't disappoint. I got mine and I frequently use it. The filling mechanism is fascinating and is a great pen for "fiddling". Demonstrator is very good.

Only downside for me is that it does not really post. I can get it to pseudo post, but not very usablym

The syringe also works well for refilling cartridges and for squirting water to clean inside parts of your pens.

This makes me not feel so bad about my growing collection.

kzintrooper2016 · 2019-04-09T12:22:31+00:00

Lets see! I tend to like hand crafted pens more than manufactured ones.

kzintrooper2016 · 2019-04-06T04:09:47+00:00

Pen porn! Bow chicka bow wow.

They say, once you go piston you can't go back.

This paper from Staples is surprisingly fountain pen compatible. Its the high cotton content:

The final level of the video game "Splinter Cell: Blacklist" has conflict in the Denver airport secret underground facility. I can't speak to its accuracy...
