fountain pen

by Tony Thomas After recommending Lava soap as a great tool for cleaning inky fingers, I decided to check out another one: Gojo Pumice Hand Cleaner. It is much more expensive than a bar of Lava ($3.99 at my local store) but I found out a little goes a long way. While Lava is great for casual cleaning, when your hands are really full of ink, a dab of Gojo Pumice works wonders. The only downside is that Gojo Pumice seems to be a truly industrial-strength cleaner and is very abrasive.  You can really feel the really tiny grains of pumice exfoliating your skin. Give it a try next time you are all inked up! http://www.gojo.com

by Tony Thomas Ever get ink all over your fingers?  If not, you aren't a real fountain pen lover! I have found something that removes ink pretty well.  Good old Lava soap .  It is embedded with pumice particles (a by product of volcanoes) that acts as a mild abrasive to remove stains. One bar of Lava generally sells for less than $2 and will last you quite a while.  Give it a try! For more information: http://www.lavasoap.com/products/lava-bar/
