Today I'm using a Lamy Studio Fine Nib with silver finish that was given to me recently. I like the heft of it but the cap doesn't seat properly when closed...

The local shop was having a father's day sale today, so I got myself a Lamy Safari (my first) and I loaded up with some NOS MB Racing Green I found a couple months ago.

 

I'm also using a VV I have that I thought would be fun to load with Herbin Ambre de Birmanie.

A green-marble Wyvern 404 with Pelikan 4001 Blue, a rather utilitarian green lever-fill Onoto with Pel 4001 Green, and a Webster "Favo-rit" with vintage Waterman Washable Blue.

 

All three just recently dug out of the pen box, cleaned up, and refilled. (I'd actually went looking for the Wyvern, and the others came along for the ride...)

Trapped in the office today, so I brought along several toys to play with:

 

Parker 51 aerometric, F/M nib, Parker Black Quink

 

Parker 65 Flighter, M nib, Diamine Dark Green

 

Parker Green Shadow Wave Vacumatic, F nib, Pelikan Blue

 

MB Boheme OS, F nib, MB Blue

 

These ought to keep me occupied for the day... :headsmack:

      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..

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
