Hello, fountain pen peeps. For those of you who have a Diplomat Aero, how do you find the grip? I tried one and felt it was too slippery and had to exchange it for a different pen. I really like the look of it, especially the flame version, but the metal grip didn't work for my small hands. ☹️ I'm also interested in the Elox Matrix Green (is it discontinued?), but it looks like it has the same metal grip.

Does anyone know, was the Diplomat Nexus a limited/special edition pen? I'm seeing the gold nib variant is sold out pretty much everywhere and stores aren't putting up 'notify me when this is back in stock' options.

@timelordiroh Not sure if they're limited editions, but I see a bunch of gold nib versions available here: https://www.penchalet.com/fine_pens/fountain_pens/diplomat_nexus_collection_fountain_pens.html

The YT app on Apple TV is really testing my patience. Besides the super annoying pause screen that kicks in now, and the screensaver, it resets your place in a list every time (e.g. going through your watch later list, or videos from all your subscriptions). If you play a video, it always resets to the top of the list when you back out to the list. I hate this behavior in any app. 😡

Now I’m even more bummed about not going to the Chicago Pen Show! 😆

I use the timer on my Apple Watch a lot. I find it frustrating that instead of pressing on the big “done” in the middle of the screen to stop the timer after going off, I have to target the small x button in the lower left corner, which because it is very near the rounded edges of the Watch’s screen, is even harder to target. 😒 (I just now saw the Done label isn’t even centered in the circle :smh:)

Hello, fountain pen peoples: any recommendations on how to clean out a moldy fountain pen? Perhaps I’m not searching well enough, but I haven’t found a definitive answer or instructions. I saw a few mentions about using a bleach solution to clean, but no measurements on bleach to water ratio. Supposedly this bleach solution could be used to clean fountain pen parts like the cap also, but I’m not sure if it’s really okay.

Today's pictures show a fountain pen catastrophe: mold! 🤢 Don't click through if you don't want to see moldy ink and a contaminated fountain pen feed.

It took a while to put together, but here's my post for , coinciding with the 1st of the month, the typical time to update my batch of currently inked pens.

Saw this quick review by MarcyMe of this year’s SE Pelikan Edelstein ink, Golden Lapis, seems to be same gold shimmer as in the Golden Beryl but with a blue base color.

Thoughts?

@paradoxmo I was reminded when I wrote with one of my currently inked pens that Van Diemans Azure Kingfisher is a similar ink that has some red sheen and looks very cool. The sample I have has been well-behaved in the Nahvalur Voyage that’s been inked with it for over a month. I’m planning on buying a bottle of that, so I won’t need the Golden Lapis.
