I thought I'd buy a good rollerball, but now I'm wondering why. I have beaucoup fps, bps, and gels. I started my rb experience with Pentel, bought Uni-balls by the box, tried one V-ball :(, and the last rb that I bought was misplaced early last year and I haven't missed it. So, I'm wondering: If...

It's been way too quiet around here as of late, so I'm gonna stir things up a bit. I want to know what the heck is up with Aurora nibs. The Aurora Idea I have has a nib that's so scratchy, one would think one was writing with a stick dipped in ink instead of an FP. It has driven me to distraction...

Lest you all think I do nothing but complain, I'd like to extol the virtues of the Writing Equipment Society (WES), which is in the United Kingdom. Earlier this year I got a hold of several back issues of "The Journal of the Writing Equipment Society." The quality of the articles, in my not so...

Hello, Recently it was stated on this board that Frank was a misogynist. This was stated as if it is a fact, which it is not. Frank was definately NOT a misogynist and he would have been very upset that anyone would label him as such. Frank was my friend for quite some time. For the last 3...

Not too long ago a small black Sheaffer flat top with a Student Special 22 nib. I've seen references to this pen in BCHR, but that's not what this is. It's not chased and doesn't seem at all like HR to me. The pen shows signs of wear but is still jet black, i.e., no evidence of oxidation. Could it...

I have a Waterman Hemisphere fountain pen that is beginning to skip often on downstrokes. The pen is relatively new (4 weeks) but has just begun to do this. Does anyone have any recomendations about how I could rectify this?

I've been hooked on Pilot VBall/VBall Grip rollerball pens because they write very smoothly. However, they're very expensive and can't be refilled. It also seems that Pilot has replaced its line of refillable rollerballs with refillable gel ink pens, which don't write as smoothly or last nearly as...

What is up with PLATIGNUM REGAL, are they any good? I am getting a vintage PLATUGNUM REGAL, lever filler.
