What Parkers Are You Working With Today?

Recommended Posts

If you've seen a couple of my posts in the past couple days you won't be surprised to know

that it's been this one. I think you can even see some DC Supershow Blue in there. I'm still

working on the love for the smaller Demi size but after a nuclear flush it's writing a wet, smooth

wider findium line. :thumbup: It has a couple small desk lines on it but otherwise, at least to

me, the frosting looks pretty good. You can't see it but it's got a nice shape jewel too.

What a fun thread! My go-to pens today were a 51 aero demi in teal with Luxury Blue and a fine nib and a Navy Blue 51 demi with Noodler's Blue-Black and a fine nib. Both are excellent writers.

The old beater B nibbed 21 came to work again today, but with a new ink...

 

PR DC Super Violet. OK, I'm a guy and I like purple..

 

I wish I had a plum 51 to go with this ink! It's fabulous!

Come to think of it I think I'll take my gold nibed 45 inked with Quink blue-black.

 

Such a drop dead '60s combo if there ever was!

Best pen in the whole wide world, possibly.

Special Edition new pen at the bottom is a beatiful pen. I guess that will be on the top of my list to buy next pen... :)

enjoy :) :thumbup:

I'm thinking I might ink this one today. It's been awhile since I've had it out of the pen box.

Not today but yesterday. Blue pearl Vac stubbed beautifully by farmersmums. The writing experience with that pen is simply delightful. However, I wasn't watching, the pen had a little ink blurp on the desk and my sleeve made acquaintance with the puddle of ink. And it's bulletproof ink! That's the second of my suit jackets to have made an unfortunate acquaintance with Noodlers. My love for fountain pens is certainly causing me some wardrobe distress.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o
    • adamselene
      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
