I've been writing a lot the last few days, so using a couple of my favorite writers:

_ Omas Arlecchino with custom CI nib, filled with Diamine Florida Blue

_ Pelikan Green Demo 800 with custom stub, filled with Bungbox Ink of Naotora

 

Best Regards, greg

I have been using three of four inked pens today: Onoto 5000, Onoto 6235, Montblanc 121.

 

The 5000 is a good writer, fairly wet and a trifle on the Onoto-fussy side for tuning. I both overhauled its mechanicals and restored its hard rubber appearance so there is considerable satisfaction in having it in use.

 

The other two are almost indistinguishable for reliability and pleasure of the writing experience, although different enough to see, hold and use.

Conway Stewart El Tigre #340 (avatar). Just received this pen & really like it. The orig nib is gone, but was replaced with a CS 5N(?) I believe & its a wet flexible one. Maybe too much? Prolly would benefit w/ a good cleaning, but thats for another day .

      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
