[Water Ouzel]

hahaha same here. whats your favourite today?

Sheaffer Balance 500, brown striated, fine Feather Touch nib, semi-flex.

 

Next week it might an Edison Collier, Blue Steel, .6 mm Binder Italifine.

 

Or a Pilot Custom 823, amber, F nib. Or a Platinum Kanazawa, "Hare and Moon", F nib.

 

Or a Twsbi Vac700, amber, EF Jowo nib. Or ...

 

But the Balance is really nice right now.

Current favourite: Pilot Custom 823 M nib = wow.

[Ian the Jock]

Nice.

Love the ink rag, too. What is it?

Its just a folded piece of thirst pockets kitchen towel, but I love the way "spilled" ink sits, and spreads through the pattern on it.

Like others, I think my current favorite can vary. However, my Cartier Diabolo, black with gold trim, is definitely one of my favorites, since it was a graduation gift from my parents and is engraved with my name.

OMAS Ogiva 557-S

Blue Lacquer

 

I don't know when it was made or what, but it is the best writer I have ever encountered. I have never written with a smoother and more responsive nib, and it doesn't hurt that the pen looks really cool too.

 

Every pen I write with is measured against this one.

Brand: Pilot

Version: Vanishing Point

Colour: Black with Gold Trim

 

Smooth fine nib, and Iroshizuku inks are getting all my attention at the moment. But I don't have a Pelikan, or a Sheaffer, or a Parker or ...........

At the moment it is my Montblanc Heritage 1912.

That's a really tough one. I'd say that overall I like my Sheaffer Valor the most... but I have quite a few others that I like about the same, like a Parker Duofold Senior from around 1927, a Sheaffer Balance OS Vac from around 1940, and a Parker Vacumatic Maxima also from around the early 1940s.

 

Brand: Sheaffer

Version: Valor

Color: Deep Blue

Always liked the Valor and been meaning to buy one for ages - I really must pull my finger out. I like the black one.

Great combination of style, balance and nib (Broad Oblique Italic) - fantastic to write with

David Oscarson Celestial in every color.....including a black that most never knew existed.

Kinda partial to the other one.

[haruka337]

Brand: Sailor
Line: Sapporo Lamé (Professional Gear Slim)
Color: Yellow



The color is more of a butterscotch yellow with a modest level of iridescence, which is barely visible in this image. Not the most expensive, nor the fanciest fountain pen I own, but it was love at first sight--the first pen I lusted after.

Banal sentiments aside, it's a well balanced fountain pen (capped or uncapped) and its ornate nib gives just enough feedback to reign in my erratic cursive.

What about you?

[Sergio 46]

B: Mont-Blanc

V: 149

C: Black in medium

But the Namiki Falcon metal in soft fine is a brilliant second choice!

[FayeV]

The answer will vary depending on when you ask. Today, I'm really liking my Pelikan M205, white with F nib, inked with Diamine Syrah.

[Charles Rice]

The one I don't yet own.

[luvpens]

One of these.........
