Nice pen, Vaibhav, and great shots!

 

I'm testing a Rotring ArtPen today, with a 1.5mm nib. Got it in the morning mail. Light, comfortable, smooth, generous ink flow - what's not to love?

Well, a pkg arrived yesterday, and in it was this pearlescent beauty - Kaigelu 316 white/black veined/Med. nib. :wub: I spent yesterday evening just looking at the pen. Had not planned on using it today, for I was still enjoying my Bexley Cowhide & Jinhao X750 Chessboard, however, I just could could not resist it. My deep pink prayer journal and the Kaigelu will make a beautiful combination as I journal today :blush: Snaps of both the front & back of the barrel. Beautiful black/greyish pearlescence. My camera does not do this pen justice.fpn_1477057903__kaigelu316white-blacke.j

I am using my new Montblanc Black Rouge et Noir fountain pen. It came back from MB in Hamburg yesterday with a lovely OM nib, changed from the original M. It has a degree of flex, and writes beautifully.

Which R et N pen do you have, the black resin, the coral resin, or the ebonite? I got the OB nib on my ebonite pen, and it's a lot of fun. I have Graf von Faber-Castell Moss Green in it right now.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

This past Thursday I received a Parker Duofold International Big Red from the fine folks at Classic Fountain Pens (nibs.com). Inked with Noodlers African Violet, it joins my meager stable that comprises a Waterman Laureate (Private Reserve Blue-Black) and Platinum 1000 (Noodlers Tiananmen). Each sees daily use in my journaling.

      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
