I got a new pen and ink today! I got an Asvine V200 (with the Asvine Medium nib) and a bottle of J. Herbin Améthyste de l’oural. It’s my first demonstrator, vacuum filler and shimmer ink. I’m so excited, it writes so well. The build quality feels so nice, the Titanium alloy feels rock solid. I’m so excited to write more with this combo! (Also excuse my poor handwriting, it’s been a labor to get it this legible)

Sorry I'm very new and just recently got my first pen. It's a Lamy Safari. Unrelated but I'm wondering about the amount of pressure that's needed to spread out the tines. I tried applying a significant amount of pressure and they did open thus creating bolder text. But when I googled people said that in fact, no pressure should be applied, and I might even damage the nib. How easy would it be to damage the nib that way? And how about the pressure? What's a safe amount to apply?
Thanks in advance!

Taking a moment to enjoy and appreciate my small collection. It’s so easy to get sucked into hunting for the next new pen, and not take the time to appreciate (and actually write with!) the ones I have.
