Looking to get my best mate a pair of MB pens for their wedding, seeing as how both the bride and groom are doctors, pens seem to be something they'd use for everyday work purposes. I'm eyeing the Princess Grace de Monaco for the bride (coincidentally my mate proposed to her in Monaco as well), but still having a tough time deciding on a male equivalent that would match the Monaco. Any suggestions?

The Princess Grace seems a very good choice considering the circumstances you have described. My one negative here though is that other than getting them both Montblanc pens you will be getting them completely different pens, might it be better to get them similar ones. I know it is sexist but in the Meisterstuck range they do a Le Grand and Le Classique sizes, might it be nice to get them the same pen in different sizes?

 

As for a pen for the groom, its hard for us to say as we do not know them. You're actually able to buy from the montblanc.com, although I'd recommend buying from an authorised dealer on the high street as you can hold and test the pens, I would recommend looking at the site to get an idea of price. The do a range called "Signature for Good" which raises money for UNICEF, being doctors they might appreciate this.

 

 

 

Not sure if you're planning on getting ballpoints or fountain pens. If you're looking at fountain pens are you sure they'd like them? You're looking at paying a considerable amount of money, I'd make sure they like and would appreciate them.

I would hate to say that they may find ballpoints more beneficial. Many hospitals use carbon type triple copies. I have a heck of a time using a fountain pen at work.

In order to appreciate the sweet, you must truly taste the bitter....

The Montblanc wedding pens are nice. I also agree that the signature for good series would be appropriate.

Unless they're fp enthusiasts, I'd also recommend ballpoint for their work.

Another vote for ballpoints. Someone actually gave a Marlene Dietrich FP for a wedding gift, and the bride decided that it wasn't really on par with her ballpoints, and gave it away (the story's here on the FPN somewhere). Not sure which version it was, as this story is a hearsay, but Marlene Dietrich commemoration pen's now priced at $4800.

Wow, thanks for the suggestions guys. Yeah I am indeed looking at getting ballpoint pens as it would be the most practical choice as well.

      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
