Used my LAMY 2000 with broad nib and MB Diamond Blue for some general notes today. Also, wrote some thank you notes today with my Montblanc Simplo No. 4 safety filler, also inked with Diamond Blue (my favorite all around ink).

Lovely pen and ink combo's. I am also a fan of Diamond, eking out the remaining drops in the bottle!

Embarrassing use today. My steel nib in my new Monteverde started out scratchy today (probably because I tested it's flexibility yesterday and overdid it), and I spent a good few hours writing nonsense all over a couple of pages of my bullet journal, testing and re-testing the nib until it was marginally satisfactory and worth writing with again. I may just order another F nib from Goulet to get my mind off this nib (or just go to a local meet and see what others say about it before pulling the trigger--I have a 1.1 stub in the mail anyway), but it writes fairly smooth now.

I cleaned, filled, and tested my Preppy with Iroshizuku Kosumosu.

I caved and bought a Pilot Custom 74 SFM from my LPS. It's lovely. All of my inks save for Edelstein Garnet are now in pens. Hooray!

Looking for Japanese and French language pen pals!

Today I'm using a lever-fill Sheaffer's Balance with red striations and a fine Lifetime nib. It's filled with Fuyu-gaki.

 

On my desk in an Esterbrook #444 Dip-Less with Sheaffer's Skrip 'Chemopure' Royal Blue.

      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
