A Visconti Millennium Arc Moonlight in Burgandy

with a Stub Nib. Tried one at FPH some time ago

and loved the nib. Pen Chalet had one on sale and

pulled the trigger.

Just arrived! Visconti Homo Sapiens M nib, it just feels right. The nib is springy, wet, not very broad, and the material is incredible. Luckily, it has written well out of the box.

 

I think I've reach fullness in the pen world, It's teh definitive pen.

An EF nib to replace the M that came with the M300 I recently acquired.

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

I'm waiting for Aurora Mare with medium nib.

Should be coming sometime next week.

Can't wait!

Dream, take one step at a time and achieve. :)

A fine nib Decimo in navy blue. Somewhat of a gamble as I've never seen or held a VP before!

And a Conway-Stewart bought at online auction on the strength of a blurry photo because it's a magnificent purple. Apparently I'm living dangerously this week.

A 1960-70 era Montblanc 149 with a fine nib and flex. Was contemplating a broader nib, but I think this should be great for work...expressive if I need it. I'll probably play with getting a 344 in OB or OBB

I pre-ordered the Lamy Safari in Petrol. I loved the Dark Lilac, and I'm sure I will love this color, too.

I went and bought all the things I've been meaning to buy for a while

 

2 Wing Sung 322 (one green, one red)

Picasso 915 (red)

10 Jinhao nibs (to play around with and italic-ify)

10 Zebra G dip nibs (I'm one my last one and have been for months, and it's really showing)

 

I might buy an oblique nib holder as well, but otherwise this will be it until the new Lamy Safari comes out. I do need to buy a few more inks, though...

I have a NOS (still in the blister pack) Waterman Forum on the way, black with red accents; possibly arriving today.

 

ETA: Yes, it came today! Not black, it turns out, but very dark grey. Makes me wish even more I'd won the used dark grey/sky blue one. :(

      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
