The “Romus Majestic” is, to the best of my knowledge, one of about three names for the same pen. I believe the company that manufactures it is actually Click, which also gives it the model name “Majestic”. You can find that pen for sale on Fountain Pen Revolution for $14. I’m almost certain that Click also manufactures a slightly different version of the Majestic that’s made for Noodler’s and sold as the Noodler’s Nib Creaper. Regardless of which model you get, they all hold vintage #2 nibs perfectly, and they all have ebonite feeds that allow you to tweak the ink flow and heat set to different nibs. Regardless of whatever name it’s sold under, it’s a FANTASTIC platform for exploring vintage nibs for daily use without endangering the original nib’s pen body.

I usually just fill them under a bright light and stop a few millimeters before the ink level reaches the internal threads.

@@FiveCatPenagerie thanks! That's a brilliant wet noodle nib you got there, take good care of it :)

it's a noodler's ahab he modified himself

I think I just used a Dremel to shave away the shoulders of the nib. The scotch tape idea actually comes from Nathan Tardif (Noodler's owner).

Thanks :)

So you removed shoulders and the whole nib became more flexible? Didn't you overflex it to the bending finally?

Shoulders?

Instructions are as follows: 1) Slim nib 2) Slap on tape :)

What do you mean by "Slim nib"?

I can't even get my Ahab to write, even after priming it. 😞

I still want a eversharp doric soooo bad :')

It came with it. As to where to find them, it's luck of the draw these days. Unfortunately everybody has a different definition of what makes a flexible nib (and some are quite snarky about it), so a vintage pen for sale that is advertised as having a wet noodle might not really have a job that's all that special. I hate to say it but the only way these days to find a job like this is to either run across a seller in person (like at a pen show) where you can actually try the pen before you buy it or take your chances on eBay (and make a habit of buying a lot of old Watermans). I remember this particular W12 only cost me $20 on eBay a few years back. You just have to be diligent and search for new listings often.
