hero 616 with montblanc permanent blue

Am I the only one to think Hero and Montblanc in the same sentence is funny? Let alone the same pen...

 

Today I am using Parker 75 Ciselle and 61 flighter with some kind of broad stub thing on the end. Out of character for me, but I am making work to-do lists for after the holidays and the main tasks really stand out...

Today it's my new Lamy 2000 that arrived in the mail from Germany yesterday. Tsuki-yo ink. Man this pen has easily made it into my top 3 along with the MB146P and the Pelikan M805. I love the pen, but not all the checks I've had to authorize with it today, even though it was fun signing them. ;)

This is a sequel to the earlier topic with the same name

Here is a link to the last entry there:

PS Sorry to hijack your post, Cramer.

===============================================================================

 

No harm done!

 

I am actually using a good old fashion wood clad pencil that I bought today along with a nifty new eraser.

 

Pencil is a Faber-Castell 9000 series 7B drawing pencil.

Eraser is a Tombow Mono Zero elastomer eraser, works like a mechanical click pencil but puts out a 2.3mm eraser.

Whenever I see this title, I think, "I'm supposed to use them, and not stare at them?" - followed by the realization that I'm a serious pen user.

 

Today, the Lamy, TrueWriter, Cartier, Pelikan M200, Ranga Bamboo, Parker, Plumix, 2 Esterbrooks and 2 Pelikanos.

 

YES, I have used each of them several times today and each one has a different color.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

      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
