You know, I really want to post some samples of my FP writing with the colors I "will have" but I'm afraid my handwriting isn't up to par with everyone elses... From what I've seen on here, there are different styles of writing with an FP and with the Med nibs I have, I feel "limited" to printing instead of cursive. Can I see some handwriting samples from you all with differnt nibs and ink colors? Thanks!

One other question, is it ok to post a pic of you "signature" or is that a no-no like posting a pic of your Rolex serial #? My immediate answer is "No" due to identity theft issues but... your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks again!

I wouldn't worry about your handwriting. We are just interested in how the inks look, and I'm sure it's better than you think. Post your sig if you feel comfortable. I just posted a thread reviewing a pen, and you can see some of my writing and ink there.

Nick just sign your name as Mickey Mouse and all will be good!!! LOL!!!

nickriebe · 29 June 2010, 11:41 AM

Ha ha!

daveathall · 29 June 2010, 09:35 PM

All the following were written using medium nibs (I think) except the Nakaya that was a double broad, ink was Noodlers air corp Blue/black.

left is Caran d ache Storm, right Noodlers Air Corp Blue/Black

I personally wouldnt bother what other people think about my hand writing, if they can read it, that's a good start, the pleasure I receive is in the writing.

Lion · 29 June 2010, 11:10 PM

Dave, very nice penmanship...did you get an A in school???

nickriebe · 29 June 2010, 11:25 PM

Very nice Dave! I love the colors as well... I think I will be very happy with the Air Corp Blue Black... And I am also looking into getting a bottle of J. Herbin Poussiere de Lune ink. Its a dark purple color that I was turned on to by 2careless... Thanks!

No Leo, didn't do too well at school, left when I was 15 and joined the army as a junior soldier, the school leaving age was upped to 16 the next year, or the year after.

Thank you for your kind remarks.

Well, here is the test of my MB Bordeax color... turned out to be a great color so thanks for the advice! My penmanship is POOR to say the least.. in fact, i dont even remember the last time i attempted cursive writing. More to come as more of my ink arrives! This was also my first time using "ink" from a bottle so filling the converter for my Lamy was fun!

Lion · 1 July 2010, 11:15 AM

Nick, I too enjoy the MB Bordeaux and use it in my current everyday pen!!!

nickriebe · 1 July 2010, 11:32 AM

It will be in my everyday pen as well Leo... Thanks for the recommendation! In the meantime, i will be working on my writing skills! ha ha!

Nick, good job! We're not here to critique your writing (which by the way, is fine!). We're here to share a common interest in pens and all things related. Thanks for sharing. Faith

I'm quite happy to post a sample of my handwriting. But someone forging my signature is an impossibility.

How many people sign documents with a semiflex fountain pen? You can't forge that with a biro.

daveathall · 1 July 2010, 09:59 PM

Nowt wrong with that handwriting Nick, that colour ink is stunning, thanks for sharing the photos with us.

2careless · 1 July 2010, 10:16 PM

Nick, does the Bordeaux inked writings change colour over time on your pad? Mine does. It turns darker after a couple of days. Very intriguing.

BTW your handwriting is fine. You just need a flexible nib to add line variations

Kai, I never really noticed until you just pointed out that fact but my MB Bordeaux ink does appear darker the next day too!!!

nickriebe · 2 July 2010, 12:02 AM

It does seem a little darker today... Great observation! Now i like it even more! :) Once i get all my new "inks" in, I will post samples of them all.

Nick, your handwriting is fine! Go easy on yourself brother!

JBat · 2 July 2010, 09:01 AM

And the Bordeaux is beautiful. I'm getting close to getting a red shade of ink, with Herbin 1670 at the top of the list (that one has me drooling, but it's hard to get), but the MB Bordeaux is on the list too.

John, the MP Bordeaux is a great color and you won't be disappointed if you pick up a bottle!!!

If you want the Herbin 1670, I got a contact who sells Herbin inks in France...
Good prices too!

Faith, I was very impressed with your writing when I saw a sample in the 'Ileana' Rolex baby book. It was not only very legible but had great style.

That looks great, to me, Nick and I love the colour, too
