149 with Indian Camlin blue. Its an OBB, so any blue : light , deep or no : looks super saturated.

 

WE Cervantes B with mbtb. I always use the Toffee here , may be my fixation, but its the best combo.

MB Agatha Christie, F, Iroshizuku Asa-gao ink

MB Carlo Collodi, F, MB Alfred Hitchcock ink

 

Like this combination very much and I refilled both pens with the same ink this weekend. (Although a brown ink, like Akkerman Bekakt Haags, also looks great in the Collodi.)

 

Using them both at work.

journaling / tinkering with pens / sailing / photography / software development

I have three MBs' a 149/B, a 165 ballpen and a 165 pencil. Bought them in 1991. The 149 lives on diet of Irish Green, Royal Blue and Midnight Blue.

 

As they are in daily use unless I buy another this will be my only chance to post on this thread..... :(

 

Respectively used for general writing & notes, for form filling and for drafts.... they heve all performed flawlessly and much loved. :)

Today I used a MB 14 and a 22. Both lay down a wet line so I have to refill them more often than I would like.

One of my favorite threads resurrected after 2 years!!

 

I'm using 2 celluloid 149s from the 1950's one loaded with Iroshizuku Kosumosu, the other with PW Akkerman #5 Shocking Blue.

They're both great nibs, with some flex, but not flex like some of the 1930's MBs. Like yours they have an italic'ish feel.

 

One's on the medium side of fine and the other on the fine side of medium :)

 

Love 'em!

149 BB loaded with DeAtramentis Herbs de Provence just because I hadn't used it in a couple of years.

Herbert von Karajan with burgundy red. The pen is a show stopper. I end up admiring it more than working.

      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
