Mont Blanc Mozart with a fresh cartridge. Likely my TWSBI and my Aurora Optima will be ready they are inked along with a 1952 Eversharp with a flex nib which is a week old to me and was NOS I just acquired that had a new sac for the lever filler installed.

 

TGIF....Happy Friday from rainy and cold Toronto. :W2FPN:

Rob Maguire (Plse call me "M or Mags" like my friends do...)I use a Tablet, Apple Pencil and a fountain pen. Targas, Sailor, MB, Visconti, Aurora, vintage Parkers, all wonderful.

I'm using my Teal Parker 51 Aero, quite a lot lately. I'm going to be sending it to Griz for a workover, just as soon as my new 1947 P51 Vac P/P set arrives :bunny01:(patiently waiting... patiently tapping my foot, arms patiently crossed, very patient.)

 

But I'm using this one as much as I can, mostly because while I know it will come back better it still might be different.

 

Also I'm almost as excited about my first Parker Pencil as I am my first Vac.

1979 mb 149 extra fine semi flex nib inked in mb racing green

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

I'll have a MB 144 on my desk with a black cartridge, but I will concentrate on a Duofold with Sailor Blue Black, a Lamy 2000 with Skrip Blue .

I have 2 favorites at this time, a Montverde with Baystate Blue, and a Jinhao X450 with a medium nib. Both are large pens and great for me to write with (big hands). I have a Montblanc 144 and a Pelikan(that got me back into pens) that I like (snob factor) but to be honest, the Jinaho is the best writer (I feel good in getting that out, but kinda dirty saying the inexpensive pen is as good).

Konrad Tortoise roaring '20s loaded with Pharmacist's urkundentinte. It wrote smoothly with the right amount of wetness right out of the box and so far I've found it to be well built, with a nice girth and design. The one thing that stops me from liking the pen is the smell :-(

Lovely shading with this ink.

Nervous? No, I'm just thinking...

Teal Blue P51 Aero, F nib, with Noodler's black

Silverblue Lamy Al-Star, M nib, with Lamy black

Red Pelikan Pelikano, M nib, with Pelikan black

I know the Pelikano is a student pen, but it's great for carrying in the laptop bag.

Today I used my Sheaffer Imperial desk pen with its 14k inlaid medium nib using Sheaffer Skrip Black, along with my Lamy 2000 Fine with Lamy Blue. I also carried my Sheaffer 330 Fine with me, but I didn't end up using it.

I am using a pair of Parker Falcons. One is stainless, the other brown. Neither is mine, but I got interested in them when a friend asked me to find one for him, and I have decided to write a review of them. Nice pens for drawing diagrams with.

      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

      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
