I got in 3 new inks, what is everyone's favorite? The first two are iron Gall inks and darken over time after writing. The third is a pigment ink and won't change much.

@freemo Number 3 looks very weak. I think a "Super flex pen" would fit your penmanship very well.

@Optionparty Thank you. The ones here are using a 0.5mm dip pen. However my main pen is a "super flex" (wet noddle). Specifically a 1905 waterman's. Its very flexible and while I could use some improvement it is definitely producing a much better form for me. Here is an example of my writing with that pen.

@Optionparty By the way the reason I dont use the wet noodle nib (super flex pen) in the OP is due to the type of ink. This are strongly acidic inks and tend to ruin pens over time. So my 114 year old waterman's wasnt getting anywhere near it.

With that said are there any inexpensive super flex you know of? I have tried a LOT of super flex such as the falcon and the noodlers but none of them come close to my waterman's.

If you know of any super flex I'd love to hear it, both in fountain pen style (though I probably tried it) and in dip pen style. I'm new to dip pens so not sure what the good nibs are there yet.
