I inked up my Parker Frontier with J Herbin Poussiere de Lune. It has not been used for some time and I was surprised when I realised that this is probably my best writer. The nib is perfectly smooth and the flow is just the way I like it, a bit on the wet side. The only minus is that the M nib is a bit to broad for my taste and probably the reason why it has not been used.

Occipital Lobe Rare

The Sheaffer is supposedly a "fifties" Ft. Madison pen, with a fine nib. I just received it, and inked it up, and I must say that it lives up to my hopes and expectations.

Really, really nice pen.

The Kensington Blue suits it great, and is part of package I ordered which also contained Diamine Asa Blue, Salamander, J Herbin Cafe des Iles, Visconti Blue and Iroshisuku Tsuki-Yo.

 

I should be able to keep myself busy the next week....

Scribere est agere.

To write is to act.

Tas that is a beautiful drawing, I really can not believe people can do that with a fountain and I am struggling to just write with one, I purchased some of that ink last night because I liked how black it was, have not received it yet, but I am looking forward to trying it out.

Thanks, it's one of my favourite pens -- and all my Uncle Harry's fault. I bought ONE black J Estie because he used one,

lo these many years ago. And to quote Claude Rains: "Round up the usual suspects." You've got a nicely patterned one there yourself.

Lots of pens (for me), inked at the moment... and, for those curious, that's pork loin stuffed with figs, raisins, cashews and honey.

Very artistic!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Maybe it is clear to many users already, but would you mind telling at which pens we are looking?

      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

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
