Hello,
First of all, I will admit that I'm not a fountain pen expert. In fact I turn them much more than I happen to use them
I've the issue of screwing and unscrewing nibs from the section in my kitless pens. I've to apply some force in order to screw the nib, which results in the metal part of the nib slightly changing its position to the feeder.
How would you handle nibs to reduce the chance of damaging them? Can I somehow lubricate the section threads so I'll have to apply less force?
Also, how the hell do you clean fountain pen nibs after testing them with ink? And how do you clean this ink from your hands?!
Thanks,
Amihai Fishman.
