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. http://www.ehow.com/how_2190812_perform-advanced-pencil-twirling.html 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...

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. I proctored an exam for a university class, and...
