Guider custom capsule with a Schmidt fine nib, loaded with a green ink mix. Lovely.

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

Also Ancora Le Perla Blue, B nib ground to stub and Filled with Organics Studio Nitrogen, fantastic ink!

Pelikan 100 N green vintage maybe the 40s, medium filled with Iroshizuku Kon Peki

Must of Cartier Trinity, medium nib with Lamy Crystal ink Benitoite

 

Several colors for different functions, I decided to differentiate each meeting minutes with a different color, not linked to the projects, but just the contrast marks sharply the beginning and the end of the sesión, red for warnings an important issues, I have to say that it is by far easier to find the information and the notebook gets a very personal touch.

Mentmore Autoflow - Vintage - M nib - Pelikan 4001 blue black

Faber-Castell Loom - F nib - R&K Scabiosa

Sheaffer Imperial - M nib - R&K Scabiosa

Geha 780 - Vintage - F nib (?) - Pelikan 4001 blue black

Kaweco Sport - M nib - Kaweco Blue

Staedtler piston filler - vintage - KF nib - Pelikan 4001 royal blue

 

The Imp with Scabiosa may just be a new favorite pen/ink combination. The Kaweco Sport is new; an impulse buy from a trip to Munich. They had test pens of those at the Manufactum store and I enjoyed 'em so much I had to bring one home. Gotta love how fine Kaweco's M nibs run, and the visual nods to 20's chased hard rubber pens on those black Kaweco Sports are pretty entertaining.

      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
