Pelikan M400 Brown Tortoise, F -- finishing up a fill of diluted Noodler's Walnut (and now the pen is nicely flushed, and is draining in paper toweling).

Parker Vacumatic Red Shadow Wave, F (?) -- Waterman Mysterious Blue

Parker 45 dark blue, OM (?) nib -- De Atramentis Albrecht Dürer.

 

Also, a black Uniball roller ball, and some Crayola markers... (finishing up an art project for this weekend).

The new M150 again but now inked with KWZ Maroon and a JIF 2 with Yama-dori.

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

A black Pilot Metro F filled with Pelikan Aquamarine and a Pelikan M400 Brown Tortoise M with 4001 Brilliant Brown are my choices for today.

What color and gift set is this? Where can I get one?

It is a Lamy Brown, a special edition made by Lamy for Line Friends in Asia. I got mine from Korea via ebay. I just wanted the pen but the rest is cute but now tucked away in my pen drawer. Spent ages online looking for a seller with a good rep to buy it from. A bit pricey too. Have put chocolate ink in it now and it writes beautifully. Just watch out for the knock offs as they will be really cheap. Apparently when the first run of them was launched they sold out within hours so a second run was made but they sold just as quick. I think a lot of people saw a market for them and bought up a lot of them upon release to sell at a tidy profit later to people like me who cant resist the allure of 'different colour than normal' fountain pens.

I keep a Pilot Cocoon in fine at work that my son brought back from a trip to Japan. Super smooth writer. My other 50+ pens I keep at home and rotate often.

the pen is the window into the writer's soul

Apart from filling a mail order form in with the Pilot Prera I keep loaded with black cartridges for that sort of thing, I've stuck to using my Sheaffer Fashion today.

Today the Pilot Kakuno got a bunch of work in my Japanese class and when I was taking notes for my computer programming class. I'm using it until it runs out of the ink sample, De Atramentis Blue. Don't know if I'll hang onto it, or not, but I'm tempted to keep it inked because I enjoy writing with it for long tasks.

 

I also dabbled a bit with my new baby, a Franklin Christoph 66 in Ice. i was totally shocked that it fit in the pen pocket of my Lihit Lab carrying pouch. It's such a monster that I wasn't sure I'd have anything that would hold it, but it was in that pocket like it was born for it. Now I can be sure to have it with me always! :)

Good Lord that's beautiful.

I'm still sticking with my Sheaffer Imperial for now; now with Pelikan royal blue instead of black. Still a boring ink*, but considerably better than black.

Also, as usual, a Wing Sung 322 (finest nib I have) and whatever lies closest to me.

 

* I clearly need more inks.

      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
