Today it's been:

Pilot Metropolitan, M nib, with diluted (I think) Diamine Classic Red -- which is rapidly becoming my favorite "true" red (even beating out Akkerman #19 Rood Haags Pluche).

Noodler's Charlie eyedropper, flex nib with Noodler's Heart of Darkness. Still trying to make up my mind about both pen and ink....

Whata bout a Jinhao x750 ? Great, cheap, good, eye catcher ......

I just bought one of these.

The red lava version, and all for the princely sum of £1.99 inc shipping.

For £1.99 ($3) it's got to be worth a punt.

Is the center a Bexley Poseidon 2 Magnum? I want one of those so badly. Do you like it? How does it compare to the MB? Is that a 146?

It is indeed. I just got it in, and I love it! It screams quality, IMHO. It feels very well made, has some heft to it, and the fit/finish are fantastic. I would not hesitate to buy another one. Mine came with an M steel nib, which I promptly pulled out and replaced with a Goulet 1.1 stub. Not that the stock nib was bad; I just wanted a nice pen that will accept unique nibs.

 

I believe that one is a 146. Truthfully, I think the Bexley "feels" more solid and refined than the 146. There is definitely some craftsmanship that went into the Bexley. The 146 is slimmer overall, lighter, and the section is just the slightest bit thinner than the Bexley.

Thanks for the reply. I'm currently trying to snag a great deal on a Poseidon Magnum 2 via auction, so this is was very encouraging. I'm trying for a blue one with that same striated pattern to the acrylic.

At the such a price, having the whole collection of X750 is cheaper than buying just one standard pen .... :wacko:

      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
