Yeah... GH was down for a bit last night and I had to go to sleep.
I had this one prepared and all and then was sad when I couldn't post.

Hm? A cartridge is what typically comes with the pens. Do you mean a converter?

No, I mean cartridge.  I haven't got a converter to use bottled ink.  I just got a pack of namiki carts for my pilot metropolitan.

MOTher fffffffffffffffff.......

Ok, u guys know the kuretake brushpen series ?

right. so.... this is not quality sable hair..  it's probably mixed as well..

I thought I might've gotten a "fake" cuz it's half the price on amazon vs jetpens.. so I ordered another 1 from jetpens.

same hair....

sigh....   Honestly I'd expect more for $40...   I can understand the fact that you'd cheap out on a full brush, but there's barely any hair used in a brush PEN....

/disappoint..

If you're not Sifo, you'd probably not understand this outburst.

The converter?  I don't think you'd want to use one since youd be running out of ink all the time

(wrong thread).
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

I know this is not a big deal to most people, old nasty pen.........

However this particular pen I just found in my stash..........Pick Fountain Pen (rare), I would say late '20's early '30's

Flexible 14K/Pick italic fine-medium nib, nice smooth nib with great variation and shading (don't ask me to write- my handwriting is terrible)

Note the Cincinnati abr on nib- anybody here from Cincinnati :cool:?

Company was located in Cincinnati, Ohio for about 10 years give or take

I love italics, that is probably one smooth writer too.  Is that a nibmeister special?

The letter you need to write can be to anyone.  You may have already written it.  That's alright too :) just don't tell us that you had already written it :p

The note you write and post here needs to explain why the help this person gave you is so important.  Essentially saying how this sort of help really makes a difference for others.  Be as specific as you feel you need to be, and no more if it's sensitive.

Thank you for your submission!  I'm sure your mom will love the kudos as well  :thumb:

Handwriting is not a factor in this contest.  It's about the content.  Please write as best you can as it must be a handwritten entry.

IMO that's more legible than what I wrote for the rules lol.

On a serious note, i have been trying to practice better handwriting.  I love the look of cursive, and if i write quickly it looks neat (think OLD style penmanship ) but i find to "forget" how to make certain letters. Maybe i just need to practice writing the alphabet in cursive

Just look at a cursive alphabet and other' writing and then try to mimic those letters
connecting letters is only done in two ways: from the line, or from the top
For capital letters.... do whatever the **** you want. As long as people know what the letter is it's fine. Capital letters are almost your identity and unique capitals are key in distinguishing your handwriting.
A good practice is to use the copperplate method of writing at a 55 degree angle for upstrokes and horizontal strokes parallel to your lines
Of course you can write upright if you want and it will still look fine
For added unnecessary flare and propriety, upstrokes are thin and light, while downstokes should be thick and heavy

Although really I am spouting a bunch of BS. Ask someone who knows what they are talking about.
