Which Conway Stewart Are You Using Today?

[mallymal1]

Having a 100 week, this week.

 

Two spectacular pens...

 

 

Yes, the vintage Duro nib has some flex. I don't push it though. Just enjoy its softness.

The Duro nib on my 60 Executive cracked ice pattern is a broad stub but has no flex.

That's the thing, mitto, the Duro nibs are not known for flexibility. They should be like yours, nice and firm.

 

So finding a 'soft' one, is a bit of a surprise.

Nice pen.

Thanks! Has an amazing cursive italic nib. So smooth.

Belliver with IM nib, made crisper by Michael Masuyama.

The ink is Franklin-Christophe's "Ink '17," a LE fro the 2017 Philadelphia Pen Show.

Looks to be a great nib...in your hands anyway, David. Lovely pen, too.

 

Did you pick up much at the show? Apart from the ink, that is.

Thanks, Malcom.

 

I did not attend the Philadelphia show. Franklin-Christoph offered the ink on their web site for a short time. I really like it and wish I had bought more than one bottle.

That's a tip for future reference, David. If you see it on the FC website...get it. If you can afford it, get two.

A CS 36 and a CS 12. Small but responsive nibs on both the pens.

The Duro Pen in black rubber and that wonder nib fed with Callifolio Aurora - near divine

[mitto]

A CS 84 with soft medium stub nib.

Been flushing my CS's this weekend. The Winston currently has ink in it . One of the vintage 85's will be inked before the week is out.

[gweimer1]

I'm going to use a newly obtained CS 36 today.

[northlodge]

I have been using a CS1200 for the past couple of weeks.

 

A good size pen without being the oversize handful of the early Duro. The CS35 nib is an unusual find, and puts down a very smooth line.

That sounds like a very interesting pen. Congratulations on finding the 35 nib.
