Picture of an Asvine V126 fountain pen and a handwritten note that says: This is the Asvine V126 with a fine nib and Pelikan Edelstein Topaz ink. I'm so damn impressed with this pen! It seems really well built and writes beautifully. At $45 AUD (roughly $28 USD) I consider it a bargain! I hope everyone on the fountain pen feed is having a wonderful day! Cheers, Jake

Picture of a Lamy Safari fountain pen and handwritten note which says: First ink with my new Lamy 1.1mm stub nib and Lamy Dark Lilac ink. The nib seems like it will be fun. It's very smooth and quite wet. It doesn't have as much line variation as I expected. I might need to grab a 1.5 or 1.9mm nib next time. Lamy Dark Lilac is a very nice dark purple ink. It has a very subtle green sheen on this 80gsm Rhodia paper. I like it! Cheers, Jake

Picture of a fountain pen and handwritten note in cursive that reads: "Like many people commenting here, I was taught cursive in primary school in the early 90's. I hardly ever use it now and was quite upset when I struggled to write my Christmas cards last year. So I'm practising it most nights now, trying to relearn it. I hope everyone out there is having a fabulous day! Cheers, Jake"
