This is so helpful: I realized that the key is knowing your pen ....I am new to the hobby and treat e bay as a gamble....for fun and if I get lucky and it's authentic and writes - its fun. LOVE your pen case.

Without taking away from the skill and rhythm it takes to do this, it’s genuinely incredible that the feeds on some vintage pens keep up the way they do. Would/could you carry this around with you daily without it losing much ink into the cap? I find my really wet writers leak the most with temperature and pressure changes, though I don’t really have that problem in general.

Not a good candidate for daily carry for more than one reason; ink leakage being one of them

Aren’t all # 2 nibs the same? How I get super flex
@AJMangino10 ай бұрын
There is vast difference in performance between number 2 nibs. That's part of the intrigue of vintage nibs, for me. Check out my video on searching for flexible nibs on ebay

i agree. the red-black mottled hard rubber was the most interesting and pretty material Waterman ever used. i enjoy seeing the different pens made from it, and collect photos of them. they're so unique from one another in a way that the later rippled ebonite pens aren't.

Sorry, I don’t understand what you mean with the V or ridge on the bottom of the nib. And I can’t see any difference between the nibs in the picture at 11:04.

@lord_haven11142 жыл бұрын
I’ve found that a drop of water onto the nib gets the ink going really quickly. The water just sucks the ink towards it. Guess you could dip the nib after filling the pen to do the same thing but I find it just drips ink splotches
