Some cool stuff for new comers. TY. I gravitate towards m nibs as they start showing shading properly. For that's one of the reasons to love fountain pens😊
That is one thing I do lose due to how I write is shading, as it really doesn’t show from many EF nibs, and shimmer is just about impossible without clogging the feeds.
I’m a huge fan of EF because I write small. I have a Lamy 2000 F and needed to have it ground down to an ef. I even had my Sailor KoP adjusted to a finish size. May even go thinner, but haven’t decided.
I almost got a KOP luminous smoke in NYC, but it only came in medium, and that is too big for how I write. That is part of why I made this, as I know there are other small writers out there who this can be helpful for. Thanks for watching.
I’m new to fountain pens. But I like the ef nib in my lamy safari’s. I also got a medium steel nib for the safari. Think I’m gonna use that one to start my journal. Awesome video. It was neat to see all the different nib brands.The ef nibs do skip some in my field notes note book. But that might be me being new to writing with them. Have a good evening.
Nice, comprehensive comparison! Thanks. You discuss the differences among papers and EF nibs from different pen makers, but what influence does ink have on line width? Some inks are described as "dry", oxymoronic as it seems. Nathan Tardif made some inks formulated to dry quickly and named them for a Federal official, whom he pictured as a horned animal on the label. Haters condemned Nathan as a Jew-hater, though that was far too excessive a leap, as well as untrue and insupportable, imo. But back to the subject, what do you think about ink and its influence on line width?
The only time that I really see a huge difference is mainly more of the nib than the inks. All of the inks appear to be wetter on the hobonici paper in the video for example, where they are razor thin lines on the other papers. I use Iroshizuku and Montblanc inks in many of my pens, as they provide a consistent experience. The wet or dry ink shows more on target nibs from what I have seen if my wife puts the same ink in one of her medium or broad inks and then writes on less than ideal paper.

Some field notes papers are not very fountain pen friendly, so definitely try on different paper as well.
Make sure your nib is clean, and that you don't let it dry as you pause to think.
@@judyjacobs5827 thanks.
