Today I used my Parker Sonnet Dark Grey Lacquer GT, filled with Sailor Jentle Ultramarine.

Well, it has been three weeks writing with my Parker 95. It is rare that I look forward to cleaning and putting away

one of my collection so much. The function is excellent, and I should enjoy using it. However, the slender barrel

is uncomfortable and unpleasant. My Reform 1745 is similarly slender, but I think, as a Parker collector, my Parker

95 is also disappointing.

 

I am looking forward to a nice, fat LAMY Al-Star. Or a Duofold Sr, if it ever come home.

Technically still the 51, 45 and the new acquisition, the red duofold jr (1928 I've been told)...

To be perfectly honest.... just the Duofold... It's new... I can't help myself!

Hey Rocky,

 

A little late to the thread. I've been using my '49 - 51 Flighter with a 1.4 Minuskin stub nib.

 

Another fav is my cedar Blue/Lustraloy and GT '46 med nib 51 vac and

 

'40 Golden Web Vac Jr. flexie fine.

 

Pelikans are good too, but I just LOVE Parkers!

Parker jotter ballpen, for fountainpen i prefer pen with international cartridge or Sheaffer which for me is the must. I test a duofod in a shop, but it is very stiff to write. But the new Quinkflow refills are fantastic.

Inked my brand new Vector flighter (med nib) with the Quink Blue cartridge that came with it. And I have my Parker 95 flighter, w/ GT, fine nib, inked with R&K Salix.

      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..

      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
