Thanks to the advice from some of you fine folks on FPN, this nice Bexley Corona just arrived today. If you can't tell from the image, it's got the rhodium trim instead of the gold. Looks nice, writes nice :thumbup:

At a rough guess, I calculated we had completed half of our galactic revolution: I had only to be patient, the second half always seemed to go by more quickly.

Wrote a little with the burgundy Hero 329 this morning before flushing the Private Reserve Cosmic Cobalt, drying the pen, and putting it away.

 

Journal writing later in the day with a basic black 1927 Sheaffer Flat Top, filled with Hero Blue.

 

Everything else with an emerald auroloide Aurora Optima, filled with a Parker Penman Emerald/Private Reserve Sherwood Green mix.

Working at home today. I brought these three home with me from the office yesterday (where most of my pens reside):

 

blue stripe Pelikan 800, filled with Visconti Blue

Visconti Skeleton AG 925, filled with Private Reserve D. C. Supershow Blue

sapphire Namiki Impressions, filled with Aurora Blue

 

Looks like I will be writing in blue ink all day today, as the only other pen here at home is the Sheaffer Flat Top, which is filled with Hero Blue.

      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
