What MBs are you using today?


Blade Runner

Recommended Posts

Bought some Hitchcock ink today and have filled my Woolf with it. The ink is a lovely deep red and compliments the pen well.

 

Also have Cerventes inked with Toffee brown ink and Verne with royal blue.

That is amazing; I did the same thing yesterday with my Woolf! And, I'm using a new Verne with Blue Pervenche :)

I think it is my favourite red ink. Nice and dark, with good shading.

 

Just inked my Twain with MB Mystery Black ink. this will be my work pen for the month of April.

:thumbup: :roflmho:

by using the possessive form "my", you make me believe you at least own "one". but i don't have a single MB and i intend to keep it that way.

Lovemy51, my dear fellow FPN member and pen enthusiast:

 

Yes, I own a number of 51's, mostly from my grandfather and other friends and family members who know about my hobby. They are as well cared for and valued as all my other pens, with a lot of sentimental value.

I had them as a schoolboy, long before I saw or touched a Montblanc. When I wrote with a 149 for the first time, the lights really came on for me, and I moved on to a totally different world in pen culture. Today, MB's are by far my favorite writers, the 51's occasionally get their turn, but much less than the MB's.

I can honestly say that there is no single pen manufacturer whose products I would proudly proclaim "never to want to own", as you do. As a collector, I would love to have as many pens from as many manufacturers I can possibly get. There is no pen I "hate", there are several I simply do not care for. There is a difference. It is ultimately just a pen. If you don't like it, avoid. Life is too short to drink bad wine. Move on to things that you do like.

 

To actually take the time to post that you are using no MB's, clearly you must have some issues, I honestly pity you, and I hope you can work them out.

 

As a Montblanc-hater, why don't you just skip these forums, and spend your time on the brands you are interested in?

 

If you do continue posting senseless remarks, tone it down a bit, it could easily be construed as trolling, which may incur the intervention of a moderator. :o

 

Enjoy your 51 :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Oh, good!

 

Late 1980s Montblanc 149 M with Florida Blue; 2002 Fitzgerald B with same ink; 2011 Collodi F with Bekakt Haags. Just flushed Florida Blue from the 1950s 146 OB and Heart of Darkness from a lovely 3-42G OBB.

 

Wanted to add that the 149 M + Florida Blue have been in rotation since December last year. Other combinations may be more 'expressive,' but this is definitely a very good combination for use at work.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
    • adamselene
      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
