Top to bottom...

Visconti Homo Sapiens...Visconti Black

Sheaffer PFM III

Conway Stewart 58

Parker Vacumatic...last three with Diamine Blue Velvet.

 

While in the middle of this post, there was a knock at the door. Postie was there with a package from BBP, containing a Black CS 58, with a broad CS nib. Calls for a broad grin... :D

 

Black is not boring...black is beautiful.

I was using an Onoto 3050 and a Waterman Man 100 but they both ran out within a page. Now I have left only one pen inked, a Pelikan M800. I think the new inks are at the Post Office now. I have Auroras and a Magna champing at their feeds.

Currently using my most recent pens, a Twsbi Lime Eco EF nib and Black/White Pilot Vanishing Point M nib. The pens are inked with Noodler's Polar Green and Pelikan Bronze respectively. The VP was a christmas gift and I absolutely love it.

The Aurora inks were forgotten from the order* so I filled the modern 88 with Visconti Blue, and the Onoto Magna with Visconti Turquoise. The pens are quite similar in proportion and style, and in their beautiful big nibs.

 

* ETA: this was inadvertent by the seller amid other order changes. After I contacted them they shipped today.

To break the boredom of grading a huge stack of papers (hey, i am desperate), i rotated through a bunch of pens including:

 

Stipula Passport with a stub nib

Sheaffer Prelude medium nib

TWSBI Vac Mini

Karas Kustoms Ink fine nib

two Sheaffer Imperial IIIs (one with Baystate Blue ink and one with Polar Brown ink)

 

When i went to pick up the pizzas for dinner, i signed the credit slip with my copper Karas Kustoms Ink. The clerk was impressed by the pen.

Continuing with the Aurora 88 with Visconti Blue, a brilliant combination, alongside a Waterman 0552 with Waterman Brown. I think this 0552 would be better off with a wet blue or blue-black ink.

      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
