					<description><![CDATA[TL;DR: One more Platinum #3776 Century pen, this time with a bold nib. I appreciate very much the balanced shape, open nib, large grip, and classy details. Other pens in this series: Overall: This is a well-designed, well-engineered, well-manufactured pen, with a fantastic needlepoint nib. Technical detail: Platinum #3776 Century in Chartres Blue, CT, with 14k-gold B nib. Model id: PNB-15000 #51-4 B, sold at ¥15,000 MSRP. (There are several models very similar to this one, with the line including models PNB-15000[A] and PNB-18000[CR] at the moment. This pen is the former.) The rated length is 139.5 mm (5.492&#8243;); the <span class="read-more" ><a href="https://fountainpens4drawing.nl/tryout/platinum-3776c-chartres-blue-14k-b-nib/" class="btn btn-primary">Read More</a></span>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[TL;DR: I happen to like Platinum #3776 Century pens. And I happen to like needlepoint nibs. So trying out this Chenonceau White with 14k-gold UEF nib fits. With its balanced shape, open nib, large grip, and classy details, this pen is a classic.

					<description><![CDATA[TL;DR: Lamy Safari has been around since the 1980s, and it&#8217;s still the go-to starter pen in many places in Europe. It&#8217;s an iconic pen. In this comparison, the EF, F, M, and B nibs, various colors, and the occasional Safari-variant, that is, the Vista, the Al-star, and the Joy. Lamy Safari, AL-star, and Joy (Figures 1a, 1b, and 1c): These sturdy, easy to use pens make for a good starter kit. I used them quite a bit in the beginning, learned the basics of inking, using, and cleaning pens. Zero trouble. You ink these pens with a cartridge (model <span class="read-more" ><a href="https://fountainpens4drawing.nl/comparison/lamy-safari-comparison/" class="btn btn-primary">Read More</a></span>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What's better than an iconic fountain pen? An iconic fountain pen with an iconic nib. Made by an idiosyncratic nibmeister. Hence, this Parker "51" with a Greg Minuskin (crisp) italic BB nib. Excellent, thanks, Greg!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[TL;DR: Here, side by side, are two Pilot Capless pens, made fifty years apart (1966 and 2016). The Pilot Capless is one of the iconic fountain pens. The Capless has sleek, innovative design: push-button (knock-on) mechanism to reveal or hide the nib, mobile hatch to prevent drying yet allow the need to appear when actuated, large clip so the grip and nib stay upward in the pocket. What&#8217;s in a name? Capless or Vanishing Point? Both: The brand name appears to have changed in 1973 from Capless to Vanishing Point [CR], but today it is common for the same product <span class="read-more" ><a href="https://fountainpens4drawing.nl/tryout/two-pilot-capless-pens-fifty-years-apart/" class="btn btn-primary">Read More</a></span>]]></description>
