Hi!
I'm a heavy walnut ink user. I just love it. But when comes the time to write in black, I use Higgins Eternal.
However, I can't say I like it because it ALWAYS destroys my nibs. For example, I have been working with Higgins Eternal on a project for 2 days, and my nib is already destroyed; it litterally gnawed the metal.
I work with Brause (for my Gothics and Italics) and Nikko G (for my Copperplate) nibs, and they are very hard to find where I live in Montreal, Canada.
After each session, I clean my nibs thoroughly under fresh water while rubbing with my fingers. After, I dry them using a tea towel and/or paper towel.
Does this happen only to me?
What would you recommend instead?
Thanks!
