Tonight, a Kaweco Sport F in metallic purple and a black Pelikan M150 F; both arrived Saturday morning.

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

I just got a burgundy Sheaffer Imperial* in the mail, which I'm not going to put down again anytime soon... even though Pelikan black was a pretty poor choice of ink.

 

*gold-plated cap with stripes, horrendously ugly clip, inlaid 14k gold nib (M) with an arrow-head cutout, cartridge filler. I gave up on figuring out the exact model, because what the heck, Sheaffer, this is such a mess.

I am using my new blue striped M805 and mustard Pilot Vanishing Point. I just flushed out my 1991 Montblanc 146 after a 6 month rotation as my daily journal writer and I miss it already.

Today is an East-West day with two pens getting out to play. The first is a Sailor 1911L that is fairly new while the other has been with me since the late 1980s and is a Waterman 100 Opera. The two pens are similar in that both are black, about the same length, diameter & weight, both are cartridge/converter pens, both have medium nibs and both are fairly wet writers with smooth responsive nibs. But one is a snap cap (positive snap in place when closing or when posting) while the other is threaded, one nib has feedback while the other has none, one uses proprietary cartridges & converters and the other Standard International, one a smooth body while the other machine turned guilloche.

      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
