Wow, Dillon! Is that a recent picture of your M90? It's holding up very well. Love my M90!

 

 

So happy to hear you are enjoying your Myu, Julie. Your article about your note-taking pen journey was neat to read. Who knew that type of pen is why you started down the fountain pen path!

 

The Myu pen line is a timeless design.

 

Yes, that's a pretty recent picture of my Myu. It's holding up really well, and it's really nice to use.

Stolen: Aurora Optima Demonstrator Red ends Medium nib. Serial number 1216 and Aurora 98 Cartridge/Converter Black bark finish (Archivi Storici) with gold cap. Reward if found. Please contact me if you have seen these pens.

Please send vial orders and other messages to fpninkvials funny-round-mark-thing gmail strange-mark-thing com. My shop is open once again if you need help with your pen.

Will someone with the name of "Jay" who emailed me through the email system provide me an email address? There was no email address provided, so I can't write back.

Dillon

Too many pens; too little writing.

I always carry at least one capless/vanishing point. This week its my newest - the Pilot Capless White Kasuri (Carbonesque) pictured at far left. It is quickly becoming a favorite. They are great pens and when you add a custom stub or CI it is close to perfection.

Two Pilot Preras with

the "CM" steel nib - a sort of cursive italic stub .

These pens write so well that I find them as easy to reach for and

as fun to write with as any of my other pens, some of which cost ten times as much.

"Carrying" interpreted as in bag or pocket(s) - not just at home:

Pilot Custom 743 sfm

Pilot Metal Falcon sf

Pilot Falcon sef

Sailor 1911L m

Sailor 1911 L Z (zoom nib)

My ever-present VP Stealth, filled with Sailor Sei-boku, and an Amber 823 with Ancient Copper. I'm missing my 912 PO & Clear 823 FA - they are loaned to a fountain pen friend, and away on holidays to Indo and Thailand! I just sold him the 823 though to raise funds for another obsession purchase (Saint Laurent handbag), so won't be getting that one back again.

 

The VPs and 823s are to me the perfect pen, I love them both. I have impure thoughts about collecting all colours of the 823s and all Raden VPs! :blush:

Conid R DCB DB FT Ti & Montblanc 146 stub nib | Lamy 2000; Vista | Montblanc 90th Anni Legrand | Pelikan M800 Burnt Orange; M805 Stresemann | Pilot Prera; VP Guilloche | Visconti Fiorenza Lava LE; Homo Sapiens Bronze

Japanese inks dominate my pen case more than Japanese pens...though I'm working on changing that! Don't have a photo of my Japanese pens on hand, so here's a quick glance at my EDC nibs:

P1050866 by Jiadepix, on Flickr

 

The pertinent pens would be the Platinum GLAMOUR (M nib, 1st from left), vintage Pilot with shiro nib (semi-flex F, 3rd from left), & Danitrio Takumi (flexy EEF, 2nd from right).

 

Also waiting on a vintage Daimaru in the mail...and my custom Hakumin Edison, which won't be done for a few months. ^_~

 

EDIT: for nib sizes

What Japanese inks do you use?

      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
