Kobe #14 Maya Lapis is now on my hands and legs! We were having a little Las Vegas Pen Posse at Amberlea's office. I was recapping some of her Maya Lapis after a filling a Sailor pen with a Concord Emperor nib. I must have cross-threaded it, because it came dripped out onto my hands and since I was wearing shorts, legs.

 

After that, I was the designated pen filler, so there are several other ink colors as well, but Maya Lapis is the dominant one.

 

We did have a good pen posse though, and finished with pizza at my favorite pizza place.

I'm still trying to figure out how to list all my pens down here.

I too am wearing #14, but it matches my eyes. (haha). Thank you, Frank, for a fun meeting.

 

BTW, the ink in your Sailor is

Sailor Sankodo Nishikisan Black Purple.

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

My hands are all colors of the ink rainbow because I finally sat down and made ink swatches out of Maruman Word Cards. Now I know I have too many bottles of ink!

No, say it isn't so!

Today it was a bit of Noodler's 54th Massachusetts and a bit of Noodler's Blue from the Plains of Abraham (I was flushing a couple of pens).

Finished off a sample vial of Akkerman Blauw in a new-to-me pen.

Also, Noodler's Fox. That's an eye-catching red.

My fingers are Diamine Majestic Blue after swapping the stock nib on my Jinhao x750 for a Goulet F... but it didn't help that I drained the ink from it first and then spilled the ink bottle. :(

Bungbox Piano Mahogany. A beautifully complex brown ink with deep magenta undertones which has exceeded expectation.

Ink, a drug.

Asa-gao. Always Asa-gao.

 

I was a little too eager this afternoon to try out another 180 that had just arrived. I didn't check to see whether the converter would fit in the barrel. It didn't, and I got ink all over my fingers.

Noodlers Bay State Blue. I usually wear disposable gloves when I'm filling my TWSBI 580Al with it. Decided that I didn't need to this time as I was only a quick refill. WRONG! Now I have lots of blue stripes across both hands.

      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
