Still... You have to admit that guy's pretty good. He deserved that raise.
A tad late on this black and white one. I wanted to test a new pen from a japanese brand I've got: namely a N°600EF Tashikawa pen. It's good. Pretty good, I say. It's hard enough for my hard grip. The ink flows nicely, even at high speed lines. And it gives really fine ones. However it isn't suited for western styles inking, because of it's hardness I can't give enough variation to the line without harming the paper. However it's perfect for detailled backgrounds and, obviously, manga styled inking. Though, the Winstor and Newton ink quality has a too high viscosity for this pen. After a short time the nib can't draw a clean line anymore.
I have to try it with a more fluid ink like the Pelikan brand, which has the drawback to bleed into the paper.
I have no idea what a "razor for real men" should actually look like. However... I should perhaps have gone with
these.
