Man, don't get me started on inks! 🤣🤣🤣
That akkerman ink bottle, is that the one with the marble that stops the ink from going down?
Yes
Seems like you are a big fan of the iroshizuku inks! I think they have beautiful inks, too.
Fantastic inks
The gold one? The inexpensive Pilot Metropolitan.
How do you like the TWSBI? I felt like it wrote too wet. What is the red one? Sailor or pilot?
Platinum Century #3776 Bourgogne.
TWSBI needs to be wet to make up for the scratchy.
Their nib is not as smooth as others. I really like pilot nibs. Bach also made a bunch of good nibs. The vintage nibs are best, though. I dont know what it is, maybe the metal composite is better, but they write a lot smoother and are more flexible.
Oh, yes. There used to be a guy in New Hampshire that fixed, ground and smoothed nibs. I think he retired. Richard Bender. His wife wrote the most awesome notes on vintage post cards.
It is a dying trade. I know there are some guys who grind nibs at the pen shows.
Dude, we don't teach cursive. Today's kids can't read the fucking Constitution or Magna Carta!
Yeah, I know. The younger generation knows how to use iphones though lol
Yeah, that is the connection now.
Have you ever gone to one? SO MANY PENS!
I recognize the TWSBI, pelican, pilot and parker. What is that one in the middle? I like your collection of blue ink. I am partial to mont blanc royal blue.
