#FPQuestion of the day:
One nib width or grind to rule them all? What is the best? Strong opinions encouraged!

@penfount broad and 1.1mm stub are deadlocked for me. Oh, and a Pilot #15 medium. How could anyone choose just one? #FountainPens
@taRxheel @penfount okay... I'm intrigued? do tell? what is a #15 nib on a Pilot? Is it size correlated like Jowo 6 type idea? Does 15 mean GIANT? (I am a newb to a lot of info like this)
@superplannergirl @taRxheel @penfount I’m not who you originally asked but yeah a Pilot # 15 roughly corresponds to something like a jowo # 6 in physical size. It’s the nib they put on the 823, the 743, and I believe the 845. Their giant nibs are the # 30 and # 50 from stuff like the yukari royale, emperor, and custom urushi lines
@Dyed_Left_Hand @taRxheel @penfount thanks! this makes a lot better since lol I was trying to imagine a #15 in comparison to a #6! I just realized my new Leo has a #8 on it and it's so nice!!!
@superplannergirl @Dyed_Left_Hand @penfount here’s a Pilot Custom 743 and Edison Comet side by side. The Jowo feels subjectively larger, probably because it has slightly broader shoulders.
@taRxheel @Dyed_Left_Hand @penfount thank you! that helps me visualize a lot!
