I’ve been researching Esterbrook nibs since I’ve inked up my J series with a 2556 (firm fine) nib recently

I stumbled across the below resource - a lot of information here

I’m coming across a 9550 a lot but am struggling to find info, so if anyone knows of anything - do let me know! I’ve found a gorgeous blue model that’s just screaming my name…..

Testdriving new ink finally (only have 1 pen. I'm new here) Rohrer & Klinger Verdura.

My big takeaway is that it's flowing MUCH MUCH better than what I had previously.

The #FerrisWheelPress - FerriTales - Oinking Embers is apparently shimmer and I guess the extra fine nib I have is just too small for the bits of shimmer. I eventually wrote out my draw and the Verdura is at least consistently flowing from the pen.

That said it's still not as heavy as the LAMY cartridges.
