  1. After my first MB fountain pen in 1998, I finally bought a Parker 51! Many in the reviews said that it is (bleep). But I think that it is quite decent for €48. It looks great (classic design) and writes incredibly well. It may be valid that it may not last as long as those made in the 50's (just like all products, people lower the quality for short term profits. I have plenty of stories to tell) esp. with its plastic vs metal screw cap, but I still think that it is a great pen. Do you agree?
  2. I ordered four Gurus when they were 40% off for Black Friday, & several inks. Got them today, gave them a quick wash, and inked them up. Each pen has some slight imperfections & scratches, but for under $5 I'm not terribly fussed. I haven't noticed any odor from the vegetal resin; given how often reviews mention it I was surprised. I was also surprised to find I like the extra fine nib more than the medium, exactly the opposite of what I expected. I'm sure I'll like the pens & the inks more when I try them on FP friendly paper. I hoped this notebook was, but nope. So far, I'm wondering why I bought these when my Pilot Varsity seems just as good, though more difficult to reink. Anyway, here's a sample of four pens & four inks, on an old unbranded notebook. Pics of the pens later! Perhaps when I swap in the architect nib I also ordered.
