Good stuff - just make sure that you don't press down too much on the nib while writing. As for the smudge of ink on your finger, just wait until you use bottled ink - they'll be much worse than that!

Just don't go near the Massdrop Writing Community, if you want to keep some money in your pocket.
PS I can recommend the Italix Churchman's Prescriptor.

I felt very meta drawing the pen I was using. Oddly circular.
Sketched in my hobonichi on today's date as I was waiting for my haircut.

Yes, forgot that one as I think its earlier than the black and white ones. I had a green one but don't know what happened to it.

Nice they are rarer that the blue or black if I remember correctly. Prettier too!

Nice one DB. How many have you got now?
Who's been buying up those Parker 25 fountain pens on eBay UK recently? Especially that metal black one; nice.

I got...
Blue: FP and RB
Black: FP
Green: BP and FP
So just five Parker 25s and I think I'm pretty happy with that. Until I come across a nice orange one on the cheap
The all white one doesn't, for whatever reason, do much for me.

You certainly have a pre-renaissance style which I'm assuming is more naive than deliberate but it is quite interesting.
