M605 solid blue with an 18K fine nib writing like an extra fine. This pen is like a home run.

M400 green stripe with 14K extra fine.

M200 black with a gold plated extra fine.

I cleaned out the remnants of Dromgoole's Blue Steel by Noodlers from my black M800, with a Pendleton Brown-worked broad italic, and replaced it with Monteverde Horizon Blue. This is my first Monteverde ink. It is similar to Asa Gao, my favorite, just slightly less bright, and maybe a little less lubricated. I like it very much.

Yesterday afternoon, I got tired of darker inks in my pens, and so swapped out as follows:

 

M400 brown tortoise (from early 2000's) -- med nib -- removed Waterman Havana Brown -- swapped in Montblanc Lucky Orange

 

M600 dark blue transparent -- broad nib -- removed Namiki Blue -- swapped in Sheaffer Turquoise

 

The Sheaffer Turquoise (current Slovenian production) is not quite the old Peacock Blue, of which I really should buy a buy a bottle or two. I really like the Lucky Orange, which I picked up at my local pen store yesterday afternoon. I removed nibs and flushed with lots of water, as I hate when any leftover ink colors the new ink.

Pelikan 100N, green marbled, M nib, Edelstein Tanzanite.

 

Not Bo Bo Olson flexy, but enough give to be comfy.

 

I'm using it to try out the varieties of paper I've collected until now.

Nice, I like both Lucky Orange and Pelikan Tanzanite a lot. Currently pelikan tanzanite is running through my M805 Stresseman as well.

I filled my new dark blue M605, with a true EF nib, with Diamond Blood Orange. This is a change of pace from my every day carry medium, and broad italics. A super pen, nib, and ink combination.

Definitely NOT purchasing Although I did try Bo Bo's Pen of the Quarter idea... couldn't make that work either.

 

The one pen/one month idea is found in this thread

https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/322030-one-pen-one-month-challenge/

 

Enjoy!

Thank you very much for the link, it was an interesting read.

 

I decided to join a day or two late (as far as dedication to sticking to just one pen, though I had filled this one before or on the 1st) with my M101N Tortoiseshell Red, initially fitted with an EF nib adjusted to be wetter by nibs.com (John Mottishaw?), then smoothed and tweaked slightly by me again when it arrived. Love what he did with the flow on that, blows my precious EF (2011 M600) out of the water (or ink) 😆 But currently have it filled with Noodlers Habanero and fitted with the M101N BB nib for a little more shading/character(and I had to tune that one too, it was just very dry and skippy when it arrived, inconsistent edges of the written line).

Might try out a new nib unit that arrived from Martini Auctions soon 😄

I had used up the Diamine Blood Orange in my M600, with EF nib. I filled it with Asa Gao, because of its additional lubrication. It now writes even better. Most of my pens are either wide italics, or flexible fines and EFs. A stiff EF takes getting used to.

Just a note on my M800, with an italic medium nib, now loaded with MonteVerde Horizon Blue for the second time: this is a spectacular writer. The review that convinced me to try Horizon Blue implied that it was not highly lubricating. Well, it is sufficiently lubricating. It is sufficiently everything. This is a great pen, and Horizon Blue performs wonderfully in it. This will be an every day carry.

M800 Red OM nib, with Pelikan Royal Blue

M200 Cafe Creme EF nib, with Platinum Carbon Black

[OCArt]

I found an OBB nib for a M600 and inked up with Blackstone Barrier Reef Blue, wow what an ink! The only problem is that I am very fond of that type of blue and must have at least six, oh so similar, inks in that color range.

Pelikan M400 White Tortoise with a broad nib and Papiér Plume Red Beans and Rice ink. Perfection.
