What do you think? I would say I’m excited to test it, but as much as I like fountain pens I can’t spend an entire paycheck on one that doesn’t shoot darts and/or fire.

Here is one fountain pen related website that I feel compelled to visit nearly every day. It’s not because there are daily updates, but rather because of the sheer amount of fountain pen content.

Okay, maybe not flexible, but certainly it is soft—soft enough to get some beautiful variation out of it. But heck, it’s not even an I-P-G nib. In my best Kahn Souphanousinphone voice, “I SEE NO ‘G’!”

It’s remarkably thinner than my other IPG nibs. There’s a lot of tipping material, which makes me think this one might actually be from Germany (I’ve seen real German “IPG” nibs with no “G” before).

The pen it’s on is an interesting Ohto Dude. Definitely a pleasurable writing experience! The ink is Noodler’s Walnut.

Here’s an Ambassador fountain pen with a fantastic “Warranted” 14k nib. Unfortunately, while it’s one of my favorites to write with, it got shoved to the back of the drawer.

So when I pulled it out to use it, the once vibrant and beautiful Diamine Sargasso Sea had , well, congealed into one big clog.

So let this be a lesson for you, flush often, flush well.
