Still using the Taccia Nakabayashi Rust Green and Hougado Pen Gallery Nodaiko Violet.

 

But filled the Aurora Ipsilon Deluxe pen (my first fountain pen) with, of all things, Aurora Black!

 

Beautiful choices.

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

Today, so far, it's been KWZI Raspberry, in one of the Parker Vectors; and (diluted) vintage Quink Washable Violet, in the Forest Green Aero.

Absolutely love Sheaffer Skrip Peacock Blue (when I am fortunate to find any portion

of a bottle). Someone is currently selling a bottle of it on Ebay for $68--toooooo deep

for my pocketbook. I call that price highway robbery. :wacko:

Stipula Light Blue Tuesday, Pinkly! last night and Musk Green tonight.

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

1) diluted vintage Quink Washable Violet, in the Parker 51 Forest Green Aero, EF nib.

2) Edelstein Topaz, in the Pelikan M600 Violet & White, EF nib.

3) diluted Noodler's Heart of Darkness, in the Noodler's Cobalt FPC, flex nib.

4) Birmingham Pens Persian Copper, in the Parker Vector Geometric, M nib.

 

I keep thinking that I should try a different ink in the M600 at some point. And then I look at Edelstein Topaz and go, "Naah, not yet...."

Still using the Taccia Nakabayashi Rust Green. After three weeks in the pen the ink is more blue than green when dry, lovely shading. And depending on the light can look blue, purple, or black. This might be one of the most amazing inks of all time. The Aurora Black is still going strong.

 

Newly inked up is a Pelikan M400 Brown Tortoise (2016 edition) with Stipula Calamo Sepia, a very reddish brown, brick red, darker and more brown than the Taccia Red Soil.

 

Looking to refill the Beaumont pneumatic with some KWZ, but holding off as I'm sticking to my only-three-pens-inked-at-a-time rule.

Aurora Black will be running out soon. Maybe tomorrow.

 

The Rust Green ran out. What an amazing color.

 

Haven't quite used much of the Stipula Sepia yet.

 

But now willed an Edison Mina wit Taccia Nakabayashi fukaki hanada so-called "light blue". I didn't know what to expect with this ink and it looks like I'll get an interesting journey.

Do you guys dilute Noodler's stuff to get a better behaviour or for aesthetic reasons?

 

Btw I'm having Diamine Red Dragon in a Retro51 Corsair M, also using Edelstein Onyx for calligraphy practice while locked down. I'm surprised and kinda disappointed at how ordinary Onyx looks in calligraphy.

      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
