Pictures don't do this beauty justice. I was bummed out about it for over a month because the pen is beautiful but the nib was horribly dry. I didn't want the hassle of sending it in (instead choosing to brood, how clever) or work on the nib without a replacement around in case I screwed up. Bought a replacement nib 2 weeks ago that was instantly a great writer and am so happy with the pen now. #FountainPen#nibs#stationary
I'm interested in creating my own analogue #Zettelkasten system. I was, therefore, wondering if any UK based folk could please recommend an online store where I could get the cards and boxes from (that isn't Amazon)?
Sometimes I like to post lyrics that speak to me, more often I put my foot in my mouth, but I always try to promote being authentic rather than anonymous.
Right, so I went on a pretty wild #fountainpen binge last year and now I have a moderate collection of super fancy #stationary. I figured I'd post some of my loadout for fellow stationary nerds.
I bought this Kaweco Brass Sport from a small book shop while visiting the east coast. I really like the heft of this pen and how it warms up in your hand as you use it. It also doubles as an excellent fidget toy.
I tried several nib sizes with it, but finally settled on a boring old F. The Kaweco steel nibs are fairly stiff, so you end up with a consistent line that's great for line art and sketches.
I usually keep it inked with Platinum Carbon Black ink which is fairly water resistant. It comes in handy when I want to throw watercolors or ink washes over some linework~
