I have just spent $288 dollars on a medium nibbed, amber, Pilot Custom 823. I will use it to write my first novel with.The novel will inevitably be successful and, thus, the pen effectively pays for itself.
I have not decided what ink to use in it and would be interested in suggestions not noodlers . I will be using Rhodia paper exclusively to write my novel.

i doubt this is an immobile thread, anon.
where's Peter? he's gotta come around here sometime.

was using the 0.38 for a while, just too damn thin to get that glow. V5 used to be my go to pen until i realized all the shit i wrote with it was almost illegible.

i just use a metropolitan, never really cared to upgrade. my favorite paper is tomoe river in cream, but its so nice i can't justify using it for random notes and shit, so i use either clairefontaine triumphe notepad, or some shitty koyuko campus loose leaf that a bought a shit load of a while back because it was only a little bit more expensive to get a 300 pack vs just 100, so i'm just gonna use it all up. can't even stress enough how nice the tomoe river paper is tho.

It's highly coated so people can use glittery meme inks without the glitter being absorbed into the paper.

Why the disdain for Noodlers?

>> No.14051061

>>14051014
A ton of "fountain pen enthusiasts" don't like Noodlers ink because it's designed for cheap paper and not for overpriced coated stuff like Rhodia, the bottles are functional and meant to hold the ink and not to be decorative desk ornaments, it's made in America and not Japan or France or some other country associated with "luxury" goods, and the guy who makes it is a very vocal constitutionalist conservative/libertarian.
People will say it's because the ink is badly behaved, or the batches are inconsistent, or it stains their pens, but it's literally all just confirmation bias from people who see the criticisms from the Noodlers haters and then attribute the temperamentality of fountain pens in general to that specific ink.

You're probably right. I guess it jibes with the whole "my expensive pen and paper will make my book better" approach. I mainly use Noodlers Brown and sometimes Bernanke Black in a pen which writes too wet, never a problem with either.
