Two inks in four pens:

 

Platinum Blue-Black (one filled from a bottle, the other using a cartridge)

 

Sailor Kiwaguro (in the other two)

 

 

For the first time in at least ten years, I don't have a pen filled with Noodler's Black. I had to bow to SK's faster dry time.

I inked a pen with Robert Oster Motor Oil a few days ago and, oh boy, is it lovely. I haven't written with anything else since and already needed to refill the converter. It's a brown /  black / something else but with a touch of shading that makes the writing look antique.

For ‘general use’/out-of-the-house use, Pilot ‘Blue/black’.

Today it's been Waterman Tender Purple, in the newly restored Morrison sterling filigree overlay ringtop, and diluted vintage Quink Permanent Royal Blue, in the Aqua Blue (? -- guessing that's the color) Parker 45 Arrow.

I'm still using Oxford and Regency Blue. They are my to favourite and 'go-to' inks.

 

Gave away a bottle of unloved Kensington Blue and a converter to an acquaintance to go with the pen I gave him some months ago

Kaweco Summer Purple

[inkstainedruth]

Today it's been the as yet to be ID'd Diamine ink that I picked up a while back at an estate sale (unfortunately, most of the pens -- except for the desk pen sets -- were on a table in the hallway outside the apartment where the sale was, and the lighting in the hallway was TERRIBLE; plus the prices, while probably fair, were more than I wanted to pay....

Although I hadn't planned to use it much less for what It ended up being used for, I used a blue Pelikan ink cartridge to decorate my kitchen floor.  I use the word 'decorate' euphemistically for not noticing that my grandson had wrapped an open cartridge in a paper towel and left it to be knocked or dropped on to the floor and the trod on.  Fortunately, someone else noticed the 1 metre long stain before it dried completely.

 

Thankfully, it scrubbed up easily with just soap and water.
