Brause Rose 76 Nib (Pack of 3)

These nibs have a lot of flex to them. They are great for larger lettering, or any time you just want a really wide stroke. The tines are soft, so a little pressure goes a long ways in terms of stroke width.Most reviews also mention them being a bit iffy to start at times, most often with a thicker ink. I have found this to be the case, but if you put a little lateral pressure to one tine (pressing them together, not apart) I've found this will get it to start most of the time. Definitely one of my favorites.

This is a hard nib to master if you've only used pointed non-flexible or italic nibs before. I had to clean this 3 times with hot water, soap, spit, fire, and toothpaste before I could get a proper ink flow (Speedball SuperBlack ink). Even so, the flexible nature causes a lot of railroading or ink blobs if you're not careful and steady-handed.My calligraphy has never looked so great now that I've (almost) figured out how to use it. It takes practice, but my letters have that thick-thin look that's normally associated with the spencerian or copperplate lettering. The tines don't spread as far as I expected so I won't be using this for large writing, but 0.5" tall letters work well for this nib. That's perfect for birthday and other handwritten cards (my primary use).The price for this one is probably more than I should have paid. i realized later that I could get this nib cheaper elsewhere, but it's still a good nib and a classic one.

Brause “rose” nibs are one of my favorites, but two out the three nibs I received are rusted. One is in good condition and I will be able to remove most of the rust from another one but the third is pitted and completely unusable.

I wouldn't recommend this nib for beginners (don't need to be an expert, but definitely need some experience first)It has a fair amount of flex and creates beautiful swells. It last relatively long in comparison to other intermediate level nibs. Brause is a wonderful manufacturer and these nibs are no exception.I recommend them on smooth to medium smooth paper (avoid coarse papers such as watercolor) and I have had most success with thicker inks (avoid iron gall or walnut)

1 for the tips was bent out of the box and wouldn’t go back into position. 1 bent on second use and wouldnt bend back into position on something that’s supposed to be high flexible. i also used a little pressure as i could. the last one works good but if i didn’t have good paper it would bleed to a unreadable amount. this isnt my particular cup of tea but from multiple articles praising this product i assume its a lot of other peoples, i say that because it might be better for you. just keep them if they’re bad and return them. Also i’ve tried a lot of nibs from articles and realized that either you should just do your own thing because almost all that i bought from articles are awful for me.

I learned to write in Arabic with reed pens which are much larger. I wanted to write smaller now that I know the alphabet and can put words together, so I found out I should use Hatat nibs. I am still having trouble writing from right to left with them. These are good quality nibs, so I suppose it is a matter of me getting used to holding the nib in a certain position. I find that the ink doesn't flow when I drag it to the left, where as with the reed pen I have no problems with the consistent flow of ink. I also can not make the nice clean angles even tho the nib is flat.

I found it needs a very soft touch to work. Will try some different inks and paper. I wanted very flexible so no complaints. I also ordered the Nr. 361 Steno and liked it because it no so flexible but more to what I was used to. These are good nibs yes

I've been doing pointed pen calligraphy for about a year now and I've had my eye set on this nib for awhile. It does NOT disappoint. It's a bit stiffer than the nibs I'm used to (Nikko G, Hunt) and it's taking a bit of time to get used to. But now that I've figured it out, I don't want to write with anything else. It holds and makes the ink flow so well. I feel like i have the most control over my writing with this nib. I wish I bought it sooner! I can't wait to do some calligraphy jobs with this nib!

Comprate un pennello, che lasciera sul foglio meno inchiostro. Anche ad avere una mano leggerissima la punta lascia enormi quantità di inchiostro ovunque. Devi immergere ogni 2 parole e se inclini troppo cola tutto...Veramente comprate un pennello...Ho provato a scaldare la punta con un accendino e poi immergerla in acqua. Le cose migliorano e riesci a scrivere abbastanza bene.
