Schwarzkopf, the dermatologists' favorite soprano. :P

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

Last year I bought a 149 with a rose gold OBBB nib inspired by this thread! I ended up trading that pen as I found the section didn't suit my hand, despite the beauty of the nib.

 

I'm very excited to now how a 146 with an OBB in rose gold on the way to me, so U can share some photos on this thread again, and enjoy the smooth writing of a Montblanc oblique :D

The word is allein (alone) not allen (all). Sorry to be OCD but it makes much more sense that way...

A recent acquisition. 14C two-tone OB on a 149.

Lovely!

What might be a general estimate of the vintage of your 14C two-tone OB?

Does it write well for you?

I estimate late 1970s based on the characteristics of the pen. The nib is very smooth and very willing to write at various angles and degrees of rotation, especially compared to broader obliques like O3B. I'll see about a writing sample.

 

It was a pleasant surprise how well it wrote with just s little cleaning. It is in the early January rotation of pens.

If you want less blah, blah, blah and more pictures, follow me on Instagram!

      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
