This week I have been enjoying using my Montblanc Boheme Marron with medium nib. It is filled with Montblanc Royal Blue ink. The nib on this pen is beautifully smooth.

 

I almost forgot to mention that I am also using my Montblanc F. Scott Fitzgerald Writers Edition ballpoint pen.

For class today I brought a Pilot Metropolitan and a Lamy Al-Star. I also brought my recently restored Parker 51 so I can give it an in depth test drive.

Don't mind me, I like to ramble... A LOT

Have been breaking in my Safari EF with 4001 Königsblau at work for the last several days. Have started to infect my co-workers as well…

Well, I'll go with my normal Montblanc. What else would I use...

I'm using the same dip pen and ink at home (E+M cork tipped mahogany with Pelikan Black ink), but I've switched to a Nikko G nib.

 

Out and about I'm using my Sheaffer VFM in black with some random purplish/red ink cartridge (I wish I knew the ink type, because I like it). I love the VFM, it writes perfectly every time without any hard starting (no matter how long I have ignored it).

Brought my Custom 823 M with Sailor Kiwaguru Black Ink to school.

At home, I'm using my M805 Richard Binder Cursive Italic M and a Visconti Pininfarina Nanotech (super smooth).

Back to my black Waterman Phileas M with Blue/Black Waterman ink - this is still my favorite every day pen - so smooth.

Today I'm using a handturned bubinga wood dip pen with an Esterbrook Falcon 048 nib and Yasutomo Traditional Chinese ink (a bit thicker and darker thansumi ink). I just got a box of 52 Esterbrook 788 nibs and 12 Esterbrook Falcon 048 nibs, I really like both quite a lot. The 048 is a great general writing nib and it looks cool too.

 

Out and about I'm using a matte black Sheaffer VFM with J. Herbin Rouge Caroubier ink.

I inked a bunch of Parker 25, M and F nibs, after not using them for a few months. Inks are Parker Quink Blue, Rohrer & Klingner Königsblau, Iroshizuku Kon Peki and Pelikan Edelstein Jade. One more will be inked but I can not decide on ink. Too many choices but still not enough.

I have not been here for a while. Hi everyone :) Good to see you again.

Today I'm going to be doing some testing and tuning on my first Ahab I got yesterday. I have it filled with Iroshizuku so I don't have to worry about the ink being responsible for flow issues. I'm also probably going to use my Parker 51 but that's just going to be for fun.

      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
