I shouldn't have done it (since my nine other currently inked pens still have over half loads that I'm not going to flush away; though two may be ready to clean by end of week)...

 

Inked all five Benu pens that I've bought in the last two weeks..

 

Four Briolettes

Milky Way B Levenger Regal

Luminous Sapphire M Taccia Tsuchi

Blue Frost F Fahrney's (Private Reserve) Spearmint [too much frost, not enough blue :unsure: ]

Silver Ore XF Levenger Claret

Sailor x Wancher Professional Gear Turquoise Blue 21k nib. I like to sketch with this one but it's a bit inconvenient to carry while traveling around. I'm afraid that I might drop it.

Ink: Iroshizuku Tsukushi

So far, it's been the Poseiden Pearl Noodler's Konrad (flex nib) with diluted Noodler's Kung Te Cheng, and the grey Parker 45 (supposedly a B nib, and with a cap harvested from another 45 where the section crumbled on me) with Visconti Turquoise.

But tonight is the Steel City Nibs meeting, so who knows what other pens I may decide to ink up, or what other pens people bring for people to play with.... :D

Letter writing so TWSBI Eco, vintage Esterbrook LJ, Jinhao x750, Lamy Al-Star, and a Jinhao 993 I think (shark pen).

 

And then I used more: Faber-Castell Grip 2010, Nemosine Neutrino and Visconti Homo Sapiens.

Not tonight but Friday, flushed the KWZ Honey from my Levenger M250 Tortoise and refilled it with Kana-cho because the clip on my beautiful mermaid JIF that I'd had the Kana in forever broke Thursday night. :crybaby: Flow is good but nib still scratchy.

So far today it's been the red marble Parkette retrofitted with the lovely 14C music nib harvested from a junker third tier pen a couple of years ago; hadn't used the pen for a while and so, after flushing some other pens out, it got put back into rotation and filled with some vintage Quink Permanent Royal Blue, which looks nice coming out of that somewhat flexy and wet nib. :D

Along side my regular EDC, A Sailor Pro Gear. I know blue ink in a red pen is bound to make someone's left eye twitch, but I sold pretty much my entire ink collection. I only kept 4 bottles of my favourite blue 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
