I find there is always a sense of nervousness right before putting a new nib to paper, because a little part of you dreads that it is going to be scratchy or too thick or too thin (at least I dread that lol), but then when it writes exactly how you want it... it's the best feeling and such a sense of happy relief.
There is so much subjectivity in writing and varity of nibs leaves many in a quandry. Have three Viscontis and have been pleased with their nibs, but then again a fountin pen is a medium of transmission of thought of mine to a paper. I value implenation of the pen's design.
Mont Blanc allows you to have a nib swap within so many days of purchase in case you didn’t like the line width you bought. But they hold the pen at the boutique till the new nib arrives. Free service
There is such a drastic difference between the nib sizes! I’m so glad you got a nib you love and I hope you’ll enjoy getting a custom grind so you can change it up. 🧡🖋
Right! If I had actually done some research on their broad nibs I might’ve learned that they were stub-like and not have chosen that. But I think I’m going to send it to get a cool grind done to it sometime. Because now that I’ve written with this medium, I have no desire to write with that broad anymore lol
I didn’t realise you can simply screw Visconti’s nibs out and swap it with another! For some reason I bought this one with a B nib which I fear will be too thick for me now. Can this nib swapping work with any Visconti nibs from any of their distributors and retailers? Thank you!

Yes that’s how I feel too! It’s so scary. And then a big sigh of relief and then excitement when it really is exactly how I wanted it!

Nice explanation Thanks

I have a Pineider LGB in M. So I bought a HS in B. Coming Monday. After the video I'm sure I'll be happy. Thanks for the video!

I was shocked to see that much difference! I think I’ll get some sort of italic, maybe even the journaler grind 🤔
What an absolutely beautiful pen and ink pairing! The difference between those two nib sizes was shocking.

@@jennstns9 perfect solution!
I hope your other nib survived!!! What a STUNNING pen 😍😍😍
Yes it did! I think I will save it to get a cool grind done to it when we can go to pen shows again! And thank you. It’s one of my most special 🥰
Very helpful as I'm considering a Crystal Dream Stub and what to do if I didn't like the nib. Thank you 😊
The ink and the pen are beautiful together. I’m glad you have a better nib now. I want to reach through the screen and write with it...😄
Someday we will get together and you can write with any of mine! 😁 it’s so much dreamier now!
@@jennstns9 I keep seeing it on different pen sites...it’s really a pretty pen!
Gorgeous pen! :)

I can only speak for the Homo Sapiens line. They all screw in and out.
Yay pen surgery is successful 😍
