I adore those ghosts!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Fortunately, I stocked up on Tolstoy when it was available. I am going to try it in my new 146 from Fritz Schimpf with their bespoke italic nib.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

Known beauties Kon Peki, Tsuyu Kusa, Souten (might still try with a thicker nib) with Équinoxe 6 and Perle Noire in two nib sizes.
