I have many fine pens however none of them seem to give me shading unless I am using a flex pen for normal handwriting. Do you know why that is the case? I would really like to not have to write super broad (because my handwriting is small) to get the shading effect. Any suggestions? (Ink isn't a concern because I use similar inks in both pens....one gives shading, other doesn’t)
shading is going to happen when there’s a lot of variation in the dye saturation, which happens when there’s a lot of ink that’s put down on the page

What are some other pens that have interchangeable nib(not like Jinhao or noodler's). What are some Pens that offer really EF nibs that you can special order on Gouletpens?
3) Denise K. -Facebook - (14:44)
If I wanted the smoothest nib available in an EF (or at most a F) what should I be looking at? But if I wanted to see what really smooth felt like in my preferred line width, what should be on my wishlist? (I already have such pens as Lamy Safari EF, TWSBI 580AL EF, and Pilot Metropolitan F)

Has Brian considered getting a fountain pen tattoo ? Could be cool in blue...

Y'all have quite a following on social media (myself included) and seem to have become celebrity/rock stars of the fp world. In your daily living out shopping, dining, airports, etc, how often do people out in public recognize y'all and introduce themselves as fans/enthusiasts?

I've been using rubbing alcohol to clean Pilot Metropolitans (Fine and Medium nibs) when stuff's been dried in there, and as an intermediate rinse (or short soak) when I realized water wasn't getting everything out. I had assumed it would be safer than ammonia or bleach, but this was apparently very wrong! Have I ruined our pens? Just the squishy ink well part? Is this why some of the cartridges seem to leak if I try to reuse the regular Pilot cartridge with Diamine or Iroshizuku ink?

When you clean your fountain pens do you clean the inside of the cap ? honestly, I always forget to do mine …….
11) @JMAuty- Twitter - (55:38)
How do you reset a used nib? if you buy an old pen - they say nibs change to the writer, true?
