MB Lavender Purple in my Platinum 3776 Shungyo F. I liked this combination so much I refilled my pen instead of changing to a different pen & ink.

I will probably finish a fill of Diamine Grape, which I am contented to observe has not exhibited flow problems in my Platinum Balance pen.

 

Otherwise, I am using a mixture of Rohrer & Klingner Solferino and Scabiosa in a Dollar pen.

Lamy Coral. I don't use it often but am reminded when I do what an interesting color it is. Is it a pinkish orange or an orange-y pink?

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

On this morning: take-sumi.

 

My bottle of Take-sumi finally arrived yesterday and I put it in a Sheaffer Cadet w/ F1 nib this morning. Already written about 2 1/2 small pages with it and will be taking it to work tonight for further testing.

Robert Oster's Fire & Ice in a Jinhao X750 with Nemosine 0.8mm nib. Also Waterman's Absolute Brown in a Lamy with 1.1mm nib that I tweaked for increased ink flow (that ink really loves high saturation to bring out its full beauty).

1) Unknown black ink (likely Quink Black) that flushed out of the new-to-me Parker 61 (M? nib) I got last weekend at the Ohio Pen show.

2) Diluted Edelstein Amethyst in M405 (EF nib).

3) Diluted Platinum Classic Black Forest IG ink in the the Safari, F nib.

      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
