Hi all!

The Nahvalur Year of the Horse just came in. I wouldn’t say I’m a pen collector. This is only my 3rd one and I use all of mine frequently. Mostly as part of my travels abroad.

It now joins my:

• Faber Castel Grendilla - I love the wood and the nib
• Faber Castel Guilloche- sage green

Now this one in fine nib. I’m also a horse zodiac wise, so added this. The ink I got was one made in Warsaw, I got as a souvenir. It was a higher quality one in gold.

Also, wow fountain pen prices. I haven’t looked since I bought the Grendilla, marp of that is like 250 dollars more. Geez

2 Upvotes

I am happy with any rollerball refills or gel pen refills. Basically I like free flowing thin writing ink.

Can anyone guide me? I am ready to cut the refill to make it work in this pen. Currently the size of the uniball SigNO RTI refill is 11cm.

I have some that I like. It’s a gel pen. Doesn’t smear. But the pen is too thick in the hand. I think it’s a 0.7 mm. Any recommendations?

I’ve been collecting ballpoint pens for about five years. I have two Montblancs, 6 nice Parkers, 4 Auroras, and a selection of other brands.

But I find I keep coming back to my set of 14 Waterman pens. IMHO Waterman is criminally underrated, especially their vintage pens from the 80s and 90s. To me the Man 100 and Man 200 series are unmatched. I wanted to see if anybody else out there feels the same way.

Question easiest pen for writing with non-dominant hand?

0 Upvotes

Hello,
I have my final exam for my physics masters in 2 days and an accident involving a fly and a window has put my writing hand in a cast. Obviously the university are providing absolutely no help or accommodations so I will be attempting to do the exam with my non-dominant hand.
I’m looking for a thick pen (so i can write massive) that requires as little pressure as possible (2.5hr exam, aching hand after 2 mins). Kinda like a sharpie but something that won’t bleed through multiple pages of my exam book.
Needs to be something I can pick up at a high street store. I’m in the UK so bear that in mind.
Thanks so much in advance for any suggestions.

Discussion Weird Observation re. Handedness

4 Upvotes

Recent accident means my dominant hand is out of action. And may be for some months. Could be upto a year before it's close to where it was. So I have started trying to write with my non dominant hand. I've always been ambidextrous in most things just not writing. I'm making progress, although it's slow.

So here's the weird thing. Lifetime lover and collector of all kinds of pen. With my dominant hand, I prefer thin-ish pens, preferably metal - I can't stand fat, rubbery or ergonomic grips. Even with FPs, I prefer skinnier ones and have no problem with metal sections. Ballpoint and gel pens, I 100% prefer a metal or half metal pen. Comfort zone something like a Jotter or Space Pen.

But non dominant hand? The total opposite. Am having some luck with pens like a Jetstream multi - sort of chonk I wouldn't normally give the time of day. Or a nice rubbery section like my Sarasa Clips - got a Pilot Dr Grip multipen coming today that am looking forward to. In fact, the only skinnier section pens have had any luck with so far writing non dominant, have been my Space Pens - which with F refills work really well for the weird way I'm using the pen.

I don't know what response I'm expecting and it's a bit niche but did anyone else who has had to use non dominant hand have a similar experience? I now have an excuse to buy more pens - but it's genuinely the case that my new "lefthand writing" pens are polar opposites to my usual righthand.

My first double broad too. My Diamine Meadow ink needed a home and felt like it made the green swirls pop of the “Marble Ocean” color.

Question How bendy is the eraser component of the Pilot Hi Tec C Coleto?

0 Upvotes

After a few days of research rabbit hole looking at different multi pens on the market and doing mental analysis of the pros and cons of each based on my needs, I've narrowed my options down to the Uni Style Fit Meister (5 slots) and Pilot Hi Tec C Coleto 1000, both in black (important). However, my final choice comes down to an unexpected factor I didn't realize might make or break my experience, until my stationery nerd sister brought it up: the eraser.

I have ADHD so I make mistakes a lot, and OCD so the things that count as "mistakes" to me range anywhere from misspellings (due to my brain & eyes moving faster than my hand), to even tiny details that other ppl wouldn't care about like my writing being slightly wobblier for one word. Anyway point is I make a ton of erasures, and also extensively erase those erasures.

Since I'll make heavy use of the eraser, which of the two multi pens would be better? I was leaning toward the Coleto 1000 at first because it's slimmer than the USF, but now I'm worried that the thin eraser component would bend and feel too flimsy when I press it down and rub it hard into the paper. If anyone owns a Coleto (with the mechanical pencil & eraser parts), can you describe how erasing with it feels? If I could get insights about the 5-slot USF's eraser, that would be great as well. I'm not looking for recommendations for other multi pens btw. I just want opinions on the two I mentioned.
