Currently my only pen until I can figure out whats going on with my Parker Sonnet. After which I hope to own a Monteverde Impressa, a Lamy Al-Star and a Conklin Durograph this year (perhaps a Pilot Metropolitan for work etc.)

 

Then I can replace all my pens with Fountain Pens as I no longer get fatigue when writing with a Fountain Pen.

Lamy Safari (Dark Lilac), F nib -- Lamy Dark Lilac (possibly slightly diluted).

Sheaffer Snorkel (black), factory stub -- diluted vintage Skrip Peacock.

Noodler's Charlie, flex nib -- slightly diluted Noodler's Baystate Blue.

 

That's so far....

In rotation today is Pilot 78G – B Stub Nib inked with Lamy Turquoise Ink. This ink is my all time favourite Turquoise ink and it was also my first turquoise ink.



Pilot Stubs are more like Cursive Italics and have amazing line variation.

Huashilai with a #5 fine/med nib. Inked with Diamine Sherwood Green; reasonable shading. Nib is pretty smooth with good ink flow & no skipping.

I have been meaning to travel off lately and thus today’s thought is inspired from travel. The thought is kinda a reminder to myself to get a travel plan in place and the target is to travel to Cherrapunji and nearby areas and also get to see living root bridges.



The thought for today was penned down via Kaweco Sports Skyline inked with Diamine Monaco Red. It is a beautiful mint coloured special edition pen and is now also available in India.

These pen are amazing value for money. And are especially suited for rough usage.

Own the same Kaweco, but without the clip. Those snaps encourage me to reconsider purchasing the clip. :)

I hate my new office! It's a dump and my desk sucks compared to my last office and desk. I thought I'd bring a little regal and elegance in here! Wahl-Eversharp Decoband Oversized with superflex nib. The lighting in here is terrible but it is the Rosewood Ebonite.

For me it's a very basic Kanwrite Kingdom with a Kanwrite steel SemiFlex nib, ink guzzler and smelly but Kryptonite proof, dropped a few times , absolutely nothing happened, pretty good for EDC.

Happy Bastille Day to whomever among our members may be celebrating it! :happyberet:

 

I'm using this Sheaffer Imperial touchdown filler with Akkerman Shocking Blue. Not sure what's supposed to be shocking about it, but it's a nice rich color.

      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
