What Color Are Your Fingers Today?


GouletPens

Noodler's Red Black, a pea-sized smear on one finger. The bottle arrived today and, remembering the stories of how full the bottles are, I stood it in a plastic disc to open it, then I used a syringe to syphon off enough to fill the 10ml vial the original sample from Vanness had come in. I think the smear came from the threads of the vial.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

I got tsuki-yo all over my fingers since my Custom 823 spit some in the cap. It doesn't generally do that. Maybe it thinks that one tastes bad.

A pair from Noodler's: Berning Red and Squeteague (sp?)

PRDCSS Blue. How? I have no idea, but it does involve a FC #20 pocket pen. It blurbed earlier.

Kon-Peki from wiping up a few droplets.

 

Violette Pensee and Baystate Blue on my left hand. I had to write down a quick reminder but I didn't have any paper, so I wrote on my hand. The pen with the VP ran out of ink, so I had to use Baystate Blue. :D

Okuyama and Yamabudo with a touch of DeAtremenris Columbine blue. It was a clean and tweak gloomy afternoon. Those tend to be rather messy.

Platinum Blue-Black, Blackstone Daintree Green, and Private Reserve Purple Mojo.

I love the smell of fountain pen ink in the morning.

I cleaned 6 pens (refilling one) and made up 12 sample vials to send to a fellow FPNer, managing to get only a couple small spots of various colors plus 1 big splotch of Yama-budo.

Tiny bit of Waterman Serenity Blue. I was having a pen repaired and wanted to then ink it up. I must say that the color is kinda boring but it does wash off easily.

Sailor Irori from yesterday evening when I was cleaning the Metropolitan I use for proofreading. My left hand is more pink than red though - diluted Irori is bright (almost hot) pink.

Umm, not my fingers but the carpet at work, Yama-guri, Fortunately, I was able to blot it before it soaked into the fiber.

A tiny bit of (diluted) Lamy Pacific Blue (trying to get a pen started after it hadn't been used for over a week -- fortunately, it *was* a Parker 51 so it's in pretty good shape :thumbup:). And a little bit of what is *supposed* to be vintage Quink Microfilm Black -- only it's looking more blue. I got most of it off yesterday my hand yesterday was a real mess -- the pen had bumped around inside a shirt pocket in a suitcase for several days, and a fair amount of ink ended up inside the cap. And, well, since it's a Parker Vacumatic, there was a LOT of ink to burp.... :headsmack: [On the plus side, though, I was afraid I'd lost the pen -- and I had just gotten it at the Ohio Pen Show a few weeks ago, too.... Whew!]

Large-ish spot of Yama-guri on left middle finger, when refilling the pen after the carpet incident at work the night before.

      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
