It's sort of like a horse race. Nobody really gets excited until the last furlong.

Sounds right. Kinda like the last ten laps of a nascar race.

Nope, for me it's the long stretch:

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

and 17th filling (the Lamy again)

 

 

Wow ... definitely making progress. I wonder whether the bottle will be empty by October 2016.

And 18. The Lamy again. (Yes, the TWSBI is going very slow 'cause I'm enjoying some of the other pens in my 'take to work-pouch')

I'm sure I speak for most of us when I say we will be cheerfully bored with your ink perambulations on paper.

:) At what point will you get those nervous "twitches" and order another bottle . . . ?

 

Funny you should ask:

When closing the bottle, this was the first moment I wondered about what I'd do when 'the end is near'. My natural reflex is to always keep some of this ink for 'you never know' and in the mean time find myself another blueblack-kind of ink. So I'd never actually get to finish the bottle... (Except for my former blueblack and my former green: emptied several bottles of both).

But my immediate reflex was: 'can't do that this time' since I started this topic.

On the other hand, the idea behind the topic was merely to document and share my usage of this bottle.

So I DO know I won't make a deliberate choice yet on whether or not to finish the bottle at the current rate. I don't know yet whether I'll reorder this colour...

Not sure I understand this (English is only my 3rd language). I thought 'perambulation' was kind of a random stroll one makes, walking around.

You mean you want to see what I've written using that ink?

I'm getting my bottle of sailor pen & message cigar today, should I make a similar thread for it? :)

Although I see that the inks is considered as a diamond here. So not sure how much I will be hated for doing that. :P

That's how I interpret it. At any rate, I would be cheerfully bored by seeing what you've written with the ink.

You are totally correct in the definition of perambulation, but the artistic side of me sees an ink pen doing little more that that. Get a nib's eye view of the motion of the pen, it appears to wander around aimlessly, from the pen's point of view anyway, after all, it can't spell.

You could even do a video of the vac filling :)

So space and time are linked together. As we are looking across space, we are looking back in time. The further and further away those stars are the further back in time you are looking. Now you are seeing a star that is say six thousand years ago. Imagine somebody at that star looking at us They would be seeing us as we were six thousand years ago. Which of those two is now? - Alan Parsons Project The Time Machine - Temporalia (Paraphrased)

      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
