Jinhao X750 in ivory, to join my X750 Shimmering Sands, X450 blue marble, and some other Jinhao that has shell insets. Hard to resist those really inexpensive eBay auctions.

Received a green Sheaffer Cadet tip dip with F1 nib today.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

Just received a green Esterbrook and a Lamy with a 1.5 nib.

 

Waiting on two pens: Noodlers with a flex nib and Osmiroid with a Osmiroid stub nib.

 

My Ebay watch list is like a bellows - it expands and shrinks. Right now I probably have about 5 I'm watching.

Waterman Ideal - blue ink; Esterbrook 2048 - brown ink; Waterman Carene - black ink

Sent my Waterman Carene off to get the nib (bent during an unfortunate drop) fixed up - waiting for it to return!

Well, my Sailor Pro Gear came in, but it lacked a converter, so now I'm waiting for that...

If you have a supplied cartridge, use that. If I can help it, I rarely use converters these days and have switched over to filling the cartridge witha syringe or pipette where I can. I find that the ink flow is always at least as good or much improved.

I am waiting for my Pilot 78G broad nib in red, an oblique penholder and a pack of Zebra G nibs

People who know my name, dont know my work. People who know my work, dont know my name.

Waiting on:

 

A Scriptorium (I'd forgotten about it as it's now into the 8th month, yikes. Just a standard model though, because I'm a lacklustre kind of guy).

 

A Chris Yoke Oblique (not sure of the timeline exactly, but no rush)

 

Just ordered a broad cursive italic and a fude nib (both Jowo #6) from Esther at FPNibs. I really wanted a broad CI from Franklin Christoph but life is too short to sit around waiting when I could be writing!

Ordered it in April, so it has been a bit of a wait. I got the shipping notice this morning.

 

:o

 

Not cool. But this Slate Blue Sailor looks beautifully! :wub:

I hope it will make you a lot of joy, reward waiting :)

It did come with two cartridges, and I do have syringes, but I still prefer filling converters... I plan to use the cartridges eventually, but I don't want to use the black ink in it right now and my frugal nature keeps me from dumping the ink to use something else. :)

It's not a complete pen, but I'm waiting on a Pelikan M400-size IB nib that I plan to use in my Levenger special M250 brown tortoise.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

      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
