Hello my friends,

Today I'm pleased as Punch!

I've found a pen that really suits me - it has a fine nib (actually the barrel says "EF 811" so maybe it is an Extra Fine).

Anyways, the beautiful thing is that the nib is not smooth and so doesn't glide across the paper, getting away from me. My hands are not as steady as they used to be (nothing serious) and this pen really helps maintain some legibility to my handwriting.

(As an extra bonus, the nib has a wonderful scratchy sound to it. Some folks might find it annoying but it is music to my ears. Why do I like that? Any theories?)

So it occurred to me that maybe I should look through my collection and roughen up some nibs.

Maybe start with 600 grit wet 'n dry. Want do you think?

Cheers!
