Just for fun I used Diamine Syrah in an 1950s Montblanc 146 with an OB nib and after I'd had enough of the drills, I used a Montblanc 3-42G from the same era with a flexible medium nib and Private Reserve Tropical Blue to play with.

journaling / tinkering with pens / sailing / photography / software development

Diamine Bilberry

Nikita Red

Gruene Eel

Iroshizuku Momiji in a Pilot 78G B

 

This 78G has been drying out or clogging almost between strokes. I notice the pen itself is a heavy writer. IOW, needs lotta pressure to get flow and B line width. Could the fact I jes changed from Rattler Red Eel to Momiji w/o cleaning pen mean I'm getting some clogging or stickyness of ink? Constant stoppage problem didn't occur before ink change, even though pen was always a heavy writer.

 

I'm real new to the FP world, so am not hip to all the ins/outs of mixing inks.

Lamy Blue-Black, Noodler's Purple Martin, and I'm testing out a sample of Diamine Red Dragon.

Currently inked:

Parker 51 with PR American Blue

Cross Century II with J. Herbin Lie de The

Noodler's Ahab with Noodler's Kikita which I received yesterday and so far love.

Noodler's free ED with Caran D'Ache Amazon. I hope I like one of my other green samples from Goulet equally well given the price of a full bottle.

Yes, always clean pens thoroughly when switching ink colors/brands (especially brands!)

All I want is 1 more pen, and 1 more bottle of ink, and maybe 1 more pad of paper. Well, at least until tomorrow. Oh yeah, and throw in that bottle of single malt. Is that asking for too much?

 

thanks Chris.

This past week, I've been using:

- Lamy 2000 with Royal Blue

- Rosetta Magellan with PR Plum

- Wality Airmail with Lamy Turquoise

- Waterman Phileas with Noodler's BSB

 

Normally, I switch inks every Sunday but since I have an early AM flight tomorrow, I'll change after landing. Plan is to ink the following:

- Platinum President with Iroshizuku Asa-Gao

- Monteverde Invincia with Noodler's Black Swan / Australian Roses

- Visconti Van Gogh with Waterman Serenity Blue

- Nemosine Singularity Demonstrator with Caran d'Ache Amazon

True bliss: knowing that the guy next to you is suffering more than you are.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
