Michael Eaton@robertcyoung I'm intrigued - what's your go-to fountain pen? 😀 My every day is a TWSBI Eco, but my collection includes many others.
@robertcyoung Nice! What Noodler's inks are those? My every day is Noodler's black, but I probably have 35-40 bottles of other ink I use in my other pens.
@mjeaton The inks are Kiowa Pecan and Beaver.
@robertcyoung I'll have to look those up! I have a dozen Noodler's inks, but I think my top 3 are 54th Mass, Lexington Gray, and Anti-fascist Blue. Of course, I say that and am about to re-ink my daily writer with more Noodler's Black.
What kind of nib does that Esti you showed have? For daily writing, I stick to fine nibs, but when I write letters, I lean more toward a medium. I'm left-handed, so anything bigger than that scares me.
@mjeaton I’ll have to check out some of those inks. The Estie has a JoWo M steel nib. Pretty standard but it feels really good.
I normally stick to fine and medium nibs, but I have an Edison with a 1.1mm stub nib that I love.
