In class: Noodler's Bulletproof black.

 

In letters and my journal: a new bottle of Bad Blue Heron. I love it so far!

most of my FPs are mepty after a good cleanout, but my bulow x450 is enjoying a bit of my precious chesterfield Sodalite, my padrino styb has a manuscript green cart, my parker sonnet has higgins eternal black, and my Cross ATX and Hero school pen hace Higgins eternal.

Sailor Sky High, and I can see some of the reddish-pink sheen on my little Leuchtturm 1917 notebook! :D It's pretty.

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 carry a lot of pens with me in a leather zip pouch both for correcting papers and writing under the document camera which projects onto the front screen in my classrooms.

 

Today --

 

PR American Blue in my Rotring Artpen 1.1, a Baoer 801, and my no-name A&W "Marquis" navy blue German pen. LOVE those pens! Can't get them anymore... I'd probably cry if I lost one of the three I have. I ought to put them away, I suppose, and use Pelikanos or Sheaffers instead (more replaceable).

 

PR Spearmint in a green Sheaffer NN

My homebrew Forest Green in another A&W Marquis, black barrel

Skrip red (new) in the dark red A & W Marquis -- that's my main correcting pen

Skrip black (old bottle) in a Sheaffer Skripsert

A mixed purple in a Platinum Preppy, created by topping up with Waterman purple and a couple drops of black Skrip (because I *hate* the purple that comes in the Preppy cartridges).

These look really good, especially together. Is the new Herbin really that dark?

Noodler's Eel Blue

Pilot Iroshizuku ku-jaku

Montblanc Lavender Purple

Monteverde Blue

 

The Noodler's Eel Blue is much better (richer, darker) than I remember it being. Might be the pen or the paper. Might be my memory. In any case, yay for giving every ink another chance every now and then.

      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. 
    • A Smug Dill
      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
