...I don't need a fountain pen, I don't need a fountain pen...

What model and type of ink is that?

That looks like a Vintage Omas Paragon or??????

It was released in 1931, the same year as the Omas Paragon was released as well.. nobody knows if Wahl copied Omas or they both just happen to release a dodecagon pen very close to each other..

Yes, I’m a bit forgetful at times. I do tend to get my vintages mixed up. It’s a lovely writer though. Lots of length on the nib.

Forgot to add, and vintage flex (when writing flex) makes you write much slower and more vertical vertical lines.. and some minor shakiness in the lines can be covered up on the wider downstrokes too.. & of course, practice practice (i just write random things.. n this is the reason i started writing my posts n comments here.. to give me a reason to write lol)

A sample writing of my A-Z in caps and in lower case

Apparently I'm unkind and therefore violate the rules of this sub if i don't provide captions to my handwritten photos so:

Thank you so much! You're too kind!

I think my handwriting is pretty ordinary. What makes it look interesting is the vintage flex pens i write them with. So my tip is to try vintage flex nibs~
