I’ve been researching Esterbrook nibs since I’ve inked up my J series with a 2556 (firm fine) nib recently

I stumbled across the below resource - a lot of information here

I’m coming across a 9550 a lot but am struggling to find info, so if anyone knows of anything - do let me know! I’ve found a gorgeous blue model that’s just screaming my name…..

Testdriving new ink finally (only have 1 pen. I'm new here) Rohrer & Klinger Verdura.

My big takeaway is that it's flowing MUCH MUCH better than what I had previously.

The #FerrisWheelPress - FerriTales - Oinking Embers is apparently shimmer and I guess the extra fine nib I have is just too small for the bits of shimmer. I eventually wrote out my draw and the Verdura is at least consistently flowing from the pen.

That said it's still not as heavy as the LAMY cartridges.

The latest Fountain Pen video is now available for your viewing pleasure.

In this video I am comparing two inks for fountain pens.

These are:
⁃ Cult Pens Little Pip
⁃ Diamine Night Shade

Join me now to explore these inks
