So far today, other than a brace of 78Gs, the only pens I've really handled were uninked pens needing preliminary flushing: The Edison Nouveau Premiere Fall 2014 edition, the Edison Nouveau Premiere Winter 2015 edition, a Super 5 calligraphy pen--and an Omas Arte Italiana Milord, Medium nib, which had gone dry.

Three pens today, besides my two EDC Vanishing Points. My pocket pen, a black Kaweco Skyline Sport EF with Noodler's North African Violet, has gotten quite the workout today. I used a graphite Lamy Al-Star EF with Noodler's Polar Black to fill out some legal documents that required black ink. And I inked my Parker 51 Aero with Noodler's Glacier Blue, just for fun. And yes, I own a lot of Noodler's.

In addition to my 78Gs, I also got my Edison Nouveau Premiere Ebonite Macassar inked and writing, and put a converter-full of J. Herbin Stormy Grey in a Lamy Al-Star with broad nib (the Edison got J. Herbin Gris Nuage).

Any comments on Regal brand fountain pens? It's a new name for me and I was wondering if anyone out there had positive or negative experiences before I lay some money down on one.

thanks

      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..

      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

      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
