So far this morning I have used a Lamy Nexx (Teal cap) and a Blue Carbonesque Pilot Vanishing Point with the 1.1 stub nib (it just came in the mail, so I am playing with it).

Pelikan M400 Brown Tortoise, F nib, with diluted Noodler's Walnut.

Lamy Safari Dark Lilac, F nib, with Robert Oster Purple Rock.

Sheaffer Snorkel, black, oblique stub (dunno the classification of all the Snorkel nibs), with MB Leo Tolstoy LE.

Parker Vector, avocado (?) green, F nib, with diluted Papier Plume Peacock.

Mostly old yellow Lamy Safari 1.5 nibbed with Iroshizuku Ku-jaku and either yellow Visconti Van Gogh Maxi F with the same ink or Pelikan M1000 F with Edelstein Topaz. Rarely MB 146 F and MB Toffee Brown. The rest is uninked :)

      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

      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
