Just Bought a New Pen
So, the other day, I just purchased a new fountain pen. My goal was to
find a smooth writer (not necessarily the most wet, but smooth), and I came up with the Aurora Rembrant. I like the weight and feel of this pen, but it does write a bit more dryly than my other pens, despite being a medium point, where most of my others are fines or extra fines. It is smooth, but I'm waiting to see whether the dryness will fix itself or not. Overall, I'm liking it so far, the magnetic elements of it are a nice touch, as I like the firm grip the cap has on the body when fixed, without needing the threads of a screw-on. Aaron W.

How heavy is it? What ink are you using? I've found that some inks are drier than others and it's worth playing around to get the best ink-and-pen pairing. -- ~~Bluesea~~ Spam is great in musubi, but not in email.

How heavy is it? What ink are you using? So far I like writing with it, though it is a bit more sensitive to angles of writing than my MontBlanc (not a problem if I write correctly, though for others this would be a bigger problem). I don't have a precise weight, but it's close to the weight of my MB Le Grande, which is more than my Namiki Falcon. It could even be a little heavier than the MB. I think I've only tried with some sort of Aurora ink or the like. I think I might have some MontBlanc stuff around that I might try. I'm not sure I'd like to try Noodler's in that pen or not. I've found that some inks are drier than others and it's worth playing around to get the best ink-and-pen pairing. Yeah. I'll probably be doing some of that. Aaron W.
