The smoothest threads I have ever experienced were on pens made by Braxton of Divine Pens Plus in Palm Bay, Florida. He also makes the Fordite pens.
My experience is the smaller manufactures pay more attention to detail and will go out of their way to may their customers happy. I find significant value in this personal attention and am therefore willing to pay a premium for "boutique" pens.
So good to know from you and being first! Greetings from Spain!
I have to explore the Collier Grande. It looks like a pen that would fit my hand quite well. Thanks for the comparison and demonstration of the nibs.
I will take both. Thanks for the video.
I think that Mango ink shows off the shading abilities of the nibs quite nicely. I don’t think you need to apologise for it at all. I like the amber tones of both pens.
I don’t have a Desiderata (yet), but I have several Edisons and they are all a joy to use. Both those pens have a lot to offer and I’m glad you don’t have to choose between them.
Hey sbrebrown, how does the Edison pens that are made to order compare to those off the "production" line? An Edison Menlo is what revived my joy of penmanship physical writing after having done calligraphy ages ago. I wouldn't say I've outgrown it but I've refined what I'm looking for in a fountain pen from years ago. I wouldn't mind a reason to take another look at what Edison has to offer on a custom basis.
To anyone that's bored reading youtube comments. A novice? question. Also, I acknowledge this is likely some user error on my end. A little elucidation would be wonderful. Anyone else have a slight hiccup of having to prime pens that rely on a vacuum system? Occasionally I'll need to prime my pens that have a vacuum system after they've expended a 1/3 or half their ink. Almost like the draw from the vacuum itself inhibits ink from naturally flowing with capillary action. I'll have to dip the nib in ink to get it running again or fiddle with the filling system to equalize the negative space that's now occupied by air in the reservoir of the pen. Vintage pens with sacs don't typically give me this issue, like Sheaffer's or Mabie Todd. Maybe it's a time thing? Constantly writing around the hour and a half mark it seems as though my pen will decide it needs a rest and I"ll fiddle with it in the ways I've mentioned above. Once the breather hole has a jolt of liquid introduced to it life is grand again and it's work strike is at an end. Ink and paper are eliminated as factors. Pelikan inks, Waterman inks, Herbin to a slew of off brand third party emulsions all result in similar experiences writing on Rhodia or Clairefontaine. Worth noting? Whatever I'm doing with Pilots, Edison's, Watermans, Conklins aren't a problem with Montblanc Meisterstuck or more price conscious pens like TWSBI or Monteverde. I'm fully willing to examine my own faults and idiocy that may be the faults of how I'm writing or the climate conditions at play. Just wondering if this is a common experience or I have a poltergeist infesting my pen nibs as they witness the horrid cacophony of vile bile that's being penned by my pens.
Thanks for this one. I’m still thinking the Soubriquet is the one for me. I am still wondering if the user can purchase both the Zebra nib and the conventional nib and swap back and forth as needed, or if you are locked into one or the other at time of purchase.
