ooh very nice… i better not look into it or i will be buying more pens… haha.
my biggest issue is finding paper that is not super expensive and can hold the ink well… bristol board is my favorite but loose sheets are annoying. i’ve found platinum’s carbon black to be the absolute best ink, after trying out many goulet and noodler’s blacks…
i’ll have to check it out — back about five years ago r/fountain pens was a great community!
oh, absolutely!
i spent way too much buying my grail pen a couple years back (pilot namiki falcon with 14k soft flex nib) and it is an absolute dream… though i do still love my pilot metropolitan and cheap jinhaos!
stating 500 as 0.5k to seem more impressive is such a fucking elon thing
thank you for all you’re doing on this. godspeed
the wise words of heraclitus!
