I'm using the Velvet Red in my 146R with a fine nib. Beautiful color for this pen, with very nice shading.

I absolutely hated this ink :/ got two bottles full (only tested it out) that I'm gonna keep for you and Tom Kellie in the future when it's out of stock :)

 

~ Montblanc William Shakespeare Velvet Red is so well-behaved in any of my fountain pens.

No bleed-through, no feathering, with crisp strokes on student manuscripts and examinations.

The three bottles I have will keep me going, but it's nice to know that a private reserve exists in Dubai.

Yesterday I bought the Miles Davis Notebook lined. I like very much the silver cut. The paper is good quality but I still have some malfunction when writing with my JFK 1917 fountain pen as I have on another notebook. I have no issue when I'm writing with it on standard printing paper but maybe I still have to run in it as I have not yet write lot with it.

 

During my visit my reseller shown me the Unicef skeleton and the POA 2017 in 888 edition in marble and they are both beautiful as the box set of each one but I still want to buy the skeleton more than the POA.

Yes, it is. Which nib size is yours? I have already inked the pen: smooth, but as suspected the Medium is way too broad for me. I will therefore send it to Mike for the usual modification (EF).

Aahh, bad news! Thank you for the information. Hope everything is fine.

 

Congratulations. Great looking pen!

Thank you! Yes, the matte finish is really nice, and the size fits perfectly. I should add that the balance is quite different from the "normal" 146, probably because of the metal filling knob.

I have the 'F' nib which is my preferred.

I sent my Ultra Black to MB for a NIB exchange. I went with EF and love it. The unfortunate thing is that the NIB exchange took nearly 3 months.

I bought the same pen last night from LCDC!

I asked for an OBB nib, so there might be a long wait.

And I bought it from LCdC today, a fantastic deal (did you get the deal too?).

I asked for an OBB too.

Mine's was a little faster. Bought the 'f' since it was the last one but needed an 'EF', so had to use the service. Came back in roughly a bit over 2 months.

 

PS: Didn't realize that they added a little sticker to cover up the 'F' with 'EF' on the label in the outer box.

      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
