I have several pencils, mainly Parkers dating from 1970. A stainless flighter, a stainless Flighter, a Sterling Imperial Flighter, a Mont Blanc ( I love their leads)and a gold filled Sonnet which is the easiest to use. I also have a 1950's Conway Stewart and dad's Eversharp which he was given in 1938 as 21st present. I use dad's pen to graphite the stems of my pipes. I like the pencil for notes on papers for court. Two reasons, my adversary cannot read it at the Bar table, and a clerk might have inadvertantly put an original document in the brief. I gave away a P51 pencil to a mate who lost his, and used a pencil daily.

Best wishes

I am using an old Sheaffer which utilizes 0.9mm lead which is easy enough to find in the Pentel brand.

Parker VS with Pentel 0.9mm 2B lead

 

I found this pencil in an absolutely mint cosmetic condition, but the twist action was broken... I dismantle it and was succeded to fix it.

 

I've never fixed a mechanical pencil... Fix a fountain pen - any one - is a baby game comparing to a twist action pencil...

      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
