My next pen is to be a TWSBI 580RB, it is out of stock at the moment and that makes me want it more!

I keep ordering vintage pens... I need to finish my writing and sketch kit with a Lamy Safari Charcoal EF and a Kaweco Classic Sport White B with a clip. I need to avoid looking at beautiful vintage pieces for awhile after today's splurge, haha!

I had a lovely day, as both my Pelikan 405 with a Richard Binder italifine nib, AND my fall Edison Nouveau arrived today. My flexible gold nib (also from Richard Binder) for my fall Nouveau is due next week; can't wait. And this italifine nib is so mind blowing I am going to pick up a few more for my Edisons.

 

A few pictures, including one of my Fall Nouveau with its winter and spring siblings. AND- I was lucky enough to be contacted by someone willing to sell me the winter 2014 Edison Nouveau, so shortly, I will have a complete set:

WTB Sheaffer Balance oversized with a flex nib, semi flex, broad, or medium in carmine red or grey striated.

And I'm beginning to fall for this one too...

My Accent Briarwood arrived a couple of days ago after weeks of me drooling. It's beautiful to look at, it feels good, the nib looks gorgeous and writes beautifully, the clip is an engineering marvel in itself, I sit just opening and closing the unique filler access machinery.

 

I might keep it :)

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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
