Generous with the answers but how do you adjust the scratchiness on extra fine? She wouldn’t Say Why? What secret Does she have? Is it a magical mesh somewhere?

I use the 4 sided nail file thing my wife always ‘loses’ :D

I have an Esterbrook Candem fountain pen with a Journalier nib done by Gina. My collection of fountain pens is widespread and Journalier nib is really THE jewel amongst all my nibs. It has the correct amount of flexibility and bouncing to make my handwriting interesting while easy to use... effortlessly. Love it.

Yes, what a great conversation!

This is great. Gena rocks. I really want to try the Journal grind, and the Architect grind.

My favourite grind is needlepoint on a flex. Stub looks like a marker with almost no variation with me I’m thinking of going oblique to counter that
