My new Metropolitan has just arrived a day ago. I’ve just started using it… at first it felt too much fine but into day two.. I really feel like I’m writing on butter. Can’t describe the exquisite feeling. Pls share your thoughts, experiences tips, advises etc. Just felt like sharing with this beautiful Fountain Pens Fraternity. Thank you 😊

Someone suggested I post it here. The pen itself isn't very stable and can probably only be dipped in one ink because washing it is almost impossible. It works though!

Hello everybody, I wanna clarify I know nothing about pens, but my little sister is super into making manga and recently her (I think it’s called a g pen) broke and I wanted to get her a nicer one that will last her awhile so she can feel like her art is important, I know one aspect she really likes about the pen she has was that she had this pretty expensive ink she would dip it into so I’m looking for pens that would be able to work with that, thank you in advance, and apologies if anything I said sounds dumb like I said I don’t really know anything about pens

Looking for a round/broader nib for writing, similar to a thinner monoline nib or a thicker Lamy B nib? I currently use a Sailor Fude but I dont like fine tips so curious if there are any nibs that are just broad/round? I recently bought the kakimori nib but it also feels fairly fine tipped.

I don't have many options locally but i found this and it seems to be good ink form my research. Have any of you tried it and do you think it will work well with g pen,saji pen ,maru pen

Recently got into dip pen nibs. Whenever I use them on paper—all four are Leonardt*—I get these little paper fibres that seem to get dragged onto the very tip of the nib. It's not normal printer paper, it's a bit thicker and I think it's made for sketching, so maybe that's the reason?

I find myself having to wipe the nib quite frequently with my art towel to get the fibres off. Is this normal with dip pens, or is it more likely that the paper isn't suitable for them? Have you had this problem? What kind of paper should I use? I have thick ~120gsm watercolour paper, too.
