New Pen of Mine, Well, Kind Of by
Aaron W. Hsu[_2_]
So, I did not know that I would be getting another pen, but as it turns
out, I did. Not really for me, but for my fiancée. She needed a new pen,
and I convinced her to give a fountain pen a try. We were at a paper
store and they had some pens around. Budget considerations limited our
choices down...

Pencil twirling by
Al[_5_]
For all the pencil enthusiasts on here... have you ever heard of this
crazy fad called pencil twirling? I love pencils but I'd never heard
of it until I was browsing around ehow.com today.

Have you tried it?

Speaking of Pens & Ink by
Bluesea[_3_]
I'm having a strange experience with Baystate Blue.
In my fine Pilot Prera, it comes out as an extra-fine line.
In my Kaweco Sport Ices, with fine and medium nibs, and my fine Pilot
Petit1, it lays down medium lines. I'm having to write with the nib
upside-down to get the fine line I want. I...

Venting by
macaddicted
I suppose I just need to get this out. I just received what I consider
to be a very distressing notice from a pen site (usually goes by a three
letter acronym). There is currently a discussion regarding the nature of
their board, and one of my posts was redacted for what I consider to...

Dip pens and ink by
MatthewK
Well, I bought some dip pen stuff and here is what I got:
A variety of speedball nibs/holders and 24 colors of bombay
ink.
The colors are great and that stuff is incredibly tenacious.
I've not figured out the best nib/ink combos yet but used a
sepia to pen a letter with a c-5 nib I think. It was...

Testing of Mont Blanc Sepia vs. Blue Black by
Aaron W. Hsu[_2_]
Hello all,

who are interested, I've posted some photos of the process on
alt.binaries.pens-pencils and below I detail what I did:

Anybody Seen the PR Ebonies? by
The Drunken Lord[_2_]
I've read the reviews on FPN, but about 7 times out of 10, an FPN
review is pretty worthless.
I thought of ordering samples from peartreepens, but I haven't done it
yet and don't know if I will.

Mont Blanc Blue Black opinions? by
Aaron W. Hsu[_2_]
Hey all,
What do you think of Mont Blanc's Blue Black ink? I have been using sepia
for a while, and figured that I needed a permanent ink (since I've had a
few runny accidents) and I wanted a change of color. I haven't quite
formed an opinion of it yet, but I thought I would ask here to see...

Mixing Diamine Orange with SwishMix Apricot Orange by
Bluesea[_3_]
Don't. They don't play well together.
While waiting for my Falcon and cartridge to soak clean, I decided to
brighten up my pen with SwishMix Apricot Orange by topping off the cartridge
with Diamine Orange. I aspirated the ink mixture back into the syringe a few
times to mix it well.
The pen...

A Tip About Cleaning by
Bluesea[_3_]
We all know that we need to flush our fountain pens with water occasionally
especially those using cartridges because they don't get the back and forth
action of a bottle-filled pen.
I've just learned the hard way that those of us who refill cartridges should
flush the cartridges at the same...

Ouch! Doesn't that hurt? by
JimL
Has handwriting, or at least holding the pen, not been taught in
schools in the past 30 years?
I have noticed occasionally, but just had a horrifying experience. I
had to come home and lie down with a cold cloth over my forehead to
try to recover.

There's 2 Wahl pens on ebay both with hardened bladder. Is that
