Count me in as another blue pen lover. I didn't realize it until I gathered them all up for this thread, but I've collected 65 blue pens. I've just switched to a new (to me) photo hosting service so this is also a test to see how well it works and how well I understand how it works. :ltcapd:

 

OK, there are 65 pens here so you'll have to scroll a lot to see them all. But I've labeled them all so you can tell what they are. They are in six groups of 11 pens each, except that the last group has only 10. Within each group the relative sizes are accurate. Actually, the first two and last two groups should all be to the same scale. The two middle groups are to the same scale as each other, but not to the other four groups. That long Pilot Parallel Pen made those groups wider so they got reduced a bit with respect to the other four groups.

 

I think the prettiest pens are some of the Italian pens in the very last group.

This is the only blue fountain pen I own, for the time being (Parker IM).

But, since blue is by far my favorite color, I believe that soon enough my ‘blue collection’ will be enriched.

Bill, I am drooling at your blue collection LOL! Wow!

 

P.S. Does Picard know you're in his chair?

Glad you like the collection. Here's a Sheaffer Fashion ballpoint that I sometimes use to sign credit card slips.

I did not ask Captain Picard for his permission to sit in the chair. Once upon a time there was an exhibit called "The Star Trek Experience" at the Las Vegas Hilton Hotel. Among other things displayed there was a full-sized replica of the main bridge of the Enterprise-D and you could have your photo taken in the chair for a not-so-nominal fee. Unfortunately, it's all gone now and all the items there have been auctioned off and scattered around the world. Like Humpty-Dumpty, it can never be put together again. But I have that picture and many fond memories!

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
