Since this thread is still going... Thought I'd share. I'm using 3 (well, 2):

 

- Montblanc 242 - man, I love taking off the blind cap and just inhaling! Surprisingly comfortable for its size- one of the side effects of celluloid is that it's just so sticky- smaller pens don't need to be gripped as tightly... Mix of MB Racing Green and PR Avocado. I got it back from Mr. Binder late last week, and it's not left my bag or shirt collar since...

- MB 100 year Historical retractable LE- Er, not really! A fake! Knockoff, "replica" But a surprisingly great writer. MB Racing Green.

 

and... my MB 146. Because I've had so many other pens to play with recently, I've not been using my One True Pen nearly as much as I have in the past. I've continued to tote around my 1950s celluloid 146, but it just hasn't seen much use.

 

But in the end, it's still one of the most reliable pens I've used- after not writing more than a few scribbles with it for the last two weeks, it went back to writing today without skipping a beat, and without anything remotely like a hard start. The cap comes off with that luxuriously sticky celluloid against celluloid friction, I'm hit with the smell of camphor, and the Quink Blue-Black and Skrip Purple lays down without hesitation and without any inconsistency.

 

*sigh* I really should use this pen more!

WTB: Lamy 27 w/ OB/OBB nibs; Pelikan 100 B nib

I just loaded up my 146 in black resin and platinum after a long hiatus from my rotation. It's happily writing with Noodler's El' Lawrence. I forgot how much I love this pen.

7 hours at work on a Saturday. Just great.

At least I had my 146P with me, and the work's all done.

I just flushed out my Poe (B nib) today and am trying to decide whether or not to refill it it with Montblanc Bordeaux, the only ink I have used in it. My Fitz (Thanks, QM2) is used almost daily.

Today, my MBs ready-to-go along with other filled pens are: My 146G EF flex (for which I will be forever grateful to Eric) filled with MB sepia or bordeaux - I'm not sure which. This pen will always be inked. Also, my Dostoevsky BB cursive italic filled with Florida blue (soon to switch to Aurora blue). A 144R with a red cartridge of that MB love ink. And finally my 146 sterling guilloche filled with violet.

my 1977 MB 149 with its extra fine semi flexible nib filled with waterman encre violette.

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

      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
