I have a fine and a medium and don't really like the fine.
It needs too much pressure to write.
Great if I am making carbon copies though.
Maybe I haven't used it enough?

In the "good old days" it seemed all kinds of things were stocked.
Sign of the times I guess..

Went looking for a new pen yesterday.
All I wanted was a 146 in burgundy with an OM nib.


No chance.


Only stock mediums


Huh, that isn't what I found when I went there. They had plenty of Extra
Fines, which are what I like. But yeah, the burgundies are not around
any more, I think.

I got a lovely blue MB a few years ago, but it was "new old stock" even
then. I've seen nothing but the yawn-worthy black in shops recently.

Your "least worst" bet now is to eBay for your favourite burgundy, new or
used. I'm enjoying the pens I own, and trying a few new inks. Diamine rules!
