Here are three I tried putting together, I hope the aspect ratio/size is okay.

EDIT: I have no idea why it's prompting an 18+ warning lmao... I think imgur is a little too gung-ho on their anti pornography filter lately

UnfortunateTwist, in My first Nakaya

Beautiful pen.

Question for the more experienced: is this a case of the feed not being able to keep up with ink usage?

CatBusBand, in Some of my favorite nibs

Woah those nibs look beautiful and expensive

The Monami Olika is a great choice! It has a nice robust feeling to the plastic material. Do you like the grip?

CatBusBand,

I like the grip a lot! It prevents my hand from slipping when I write

Korvmedbrod, in Finally took the plunge in buying my first fountain pen

Good for you, congratulations!

Nice handwriting! My cursive has gone downhill.

CatBusBand,

I think the fountain pen actually improved my handwriting. My cursive on ballpoint pens look like chicken scratch in comparison.

EmrysOfTheValley,

I noticed this as well, made me focus on writing properly rather than ball pen chicken scratches. The problem is it is really easy to get more and fancy inks 😂.

vadsamoht,

There are two possible reasons (probably more) that the pen may actually be helping your handwriting here:

  • You're probably putting less pressure onto the page, which means that you're not fighting against that friction every time you need to change direction.
  • Your pen seems to lay down a pretty thick line - that's something that can often make the imperfections in one's handwriting less visible. (That's not intended as a dig at your handwriting, in fact it can be a useful thing to keep in mind if you're writing something like a birthday card where you get one shot at making it look good).
