Aurora 98 I found last Saturday at a flea market in Turin. I'm still kicking myself for not having brought along sufficient funds to buy a MB149 a not very knowledgeable seller was selling for 130 euros.

Best wishes on your finals. I still dream about mine after many years (I passed very well with a P75 backed up with a P51), but the thought of my final exams still give me gut wrenching cramps in my lower intestines. :thumbup:

Inked up my newly refurbished Esterbrook Model J with EF nib last night for the first time to use for construction plan review at the office today. Diamine Red Dragon - already have decided it is too dark and doesn't "stand out" enough for marking up sheets. Guess I'll have to try another bottle of something else!

Not actually a fountain pen, but a Kaweco Ice Sport roller ball (I think it's supposed to be medium nib) inked with a J. Herbin's Eclat de Saphir cartridge. I'm very impressed with how nicely this writes.

I'm writing an online serial thing. It's urban fantasy. And I have no idea how long it's going to run for.

I decided to grab my Reform 1745 today and I am really surprised with it. I have never liked this pen and suddenly today it's delightful. The problem is I have no idea what it's inked with. It's a dark blue with very nice shading--the suspects are Bad Belted Kingfisher, PR Sonic Blue or Hero Blue Black.

I'm using my new Kaweco Student, which has required much adjustments to write about correctly.

      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
