Pelikan 4001

royal blue

blue-black

 

Kaweco

blue (cartridge)

 

Rohrer & Klingner

Scabiosa

 

Pelikan blbk is my most commonly used ink by far, Scabiosa is definitely a new favorite - the two royal blues are really more out of necessity.

I was going to use Take-sumi but the cartridge was empty as it turns out. So I used Stipula Light Blue instead.

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

It's been a variety of inks today

Vintage Quink Green, in the Parker Laidtone Duovac (yes -- it's a Vac filler, as opposed to my other Laidtones, which are both button fillers).

Iroshizuku Yama-budo, in the Pilot Decimo.

Skrip Purple, in the blue Snorkel; with the EF nib, it's less easy to find inks that behave well, and I discovered that (modern) Skrip Purple does very well in that pen (surprisingly, vintage Skrip Peacock did NOT).

Papier Plume Caramel, in the Parker 41.

Refilled that empty cart with Take-sumi for some (delayed) bamboo charcoal goodness. The Take coats the inside of the cart like many Sailors do so it's hard to tell if there's actually ink there.

Lamy Coral again, because the pen with it was sitting there.

Noodlers Aircorp Blue Black in my Noodlers Konrad Dixie #10 Red Rebellion. This is only the second time Ive filled this pen in the 3-4 years since I bought it. Maybe its the ink, or maybe that it has now had a good rinse, but this pen is suddenly a pleasure to use.

L'amant - took a break after the initial 3-4 fills to conserve.

^^ lotus, that tsu-kushi looks quite nice in your sample; big fan of yama-guri but will have to give this one some thought.

 

Using Musk Green tonight with a little L'amant thrown in.

Organics Studio, Henry David Thoreau. A sample from Goulet Pens. A delightful ink.

A pairing of Pilots (and no Pelikans!) - Yama-guri in a Sheaffer Cadet TD and Take-sumi in a folded-nib PaperMate stick pen.

Today it's been Sailor Jentle Sky High (old formula) in the Pro-Gear Slim Purple Cosmos, and diluted Akkerman Dutch Masters Ruisdael Stormachtig Blauw in the TWSBI 590-AL.

      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
