My first Esterbrook, a green SJ with a firm EF nib from Main Street Pens. Handy. Inked up with FPN Dumas Tulipe Noire. Pretty cool.

I recently got an OM nib for my Lamy Safari. Still getting used to it, but I'm amazed how smooth it is.

I was impressed with a Montblanc's OM nib's smoothness recently. And it 'sang,' too. But alas it was too unforgiving for daily use. And all the pens in my stable gotta work for a living. So it's getting stubbed.

TWSBI Eco 1.1 with Watermans Harmonious Green. Initially wasn't thrilled about how dry the pen was, but ended up loving it because now I can use it on regular paper as well. This is the first pen I've been able to use on regular paper that wasn't a standard nib using noodlers black or x feather.

Pilot Parallel in 1.5 and 2.4 mm: practising italic handwriting with Lloyd J. Reynolds' videos on my iPad. Just finished lesson 10, safe joins.

 

Edit: I use the videos posted on YouTube by Reedalumni. Here is lesson 10:

which should help you find the rest, if you are interested. Lesson 2 seems to be missing. Edited by pmhudepo

      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
