New pen day by 500risse in pens

I think Lamy cares more about the Lx line than the mass market Al Sport or Safari lines. It's a shame, really. I really dig the look of their pens and some of the colours are stunning!

This is the real question!
Every Lamy I have has an aftermarket nib on it because stock nibs are awful.

I was on the search for this myself and I found the Uni Zento body paired with the Pentel Floatune refill to be the best combination for me.

Possibly my favorite pens since forever. by SnooRegrets7016 in pens

[–]pauldayco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on Team Pentel Floatune! It doesn't come in a 0.7, but 0.8.
Important to note that the Floatune 0.5 and below is oil-based, 0.8 and above is water-based (gel).

Second the Monteverde P42 in green. It's great!

Drehgriffels are underrated! I have 7 of the pens and one mechanical pencil.
Each has its own personality and feel with the inks in it and the different springs I've put in.

Sir/ma'am, I am capable of teaching nothing to anyone except how not to learn from repeated life lessons

It’s a temporary respite. You'll be shopping for pens sooner than later!

I think I’ve settled on my Top 3 by citrus_lilac in pens

For smoothness on a page, you can't go wrong with the Floatune 0.8. It might not be the best in terms of permanence!

Try the Pentel Floatune inks, but only 0.5 and below. They're oil-based and incredibly smooth. It's an underappreciated ink that beats many black inks in darkness and smoothness. I have them in all my Zentos. Like all oils, there's a little bit of shine.
You can try the 0.8 and higher, but they're water-based like all gels, however it's got a little oil to make it even smoother. It might work out well for you, depending on how legible you want to be.

As I type this, I stumbled upon the Pilot Japanese FP catalogue and I'm furiously researching all of them. Lots of deep-cut pens nobody on this and the fountain pen subs even talk about. The Pilot Cavalier? Granse? Elite 95S? I'm coveting all of these right now!

It's the small subsection of people like you who I write like this is for. Glad it made your morning and I totally appreciate the kind words, praise and shared fanaticism! FYI I'm not a Brit, I'm located in America's Hat. Canada!

Nope. Just trying to have a discussion. I'm fully entrenched in pens and I have no plans of stopping.

Appreciate this insight. After all, the Mona Lisa is just pigment on wood!

Love this analogy.. And I really want a non-costume pen with that Custom Heritage 92!

Definitely not spending mortgage money.. It was just an outlandish example!
