Today I was in my exam using my new LAMY 2000 inked with Diamine Onyx Black. I LOVE the LAMY 2000 but I am struggling a little with how skippy it can be. I'm guessing it's because it has a sweet spot I haven't quite found. My other pens allow me to write pretty much however I want without skipping. But I have a feeling it will become my favourite pen.

The Duke P06 arrived today. Inked with Chesterfield Rose. Black n' Red notebook. I'm calling this pen my "Think Pink."

 

Weight: Capped - 32g Length: 130mm. Diameter: 12mm

Uncapped - 20g

 

Cute Pocket/Purse Pen. Nib: #5 Medium nib; will need a bit of nib tweaking; good ink flow; attractive imprint on nib. Section Fine grooves (smooth). Do not dip section in ink, for it retains a bit of ink, which will wind up on the fingers. If you do dip section, clean thoroughly. Cap: Does post, however, I suspect it will scratch barrel if posted. Duke is imprinted on the side of the cap (silver). Clip is extremely snug.

Pulled out a couple Metropolitans. Inked the black one with Dromgoole's Texas Black Bat by Noodlers, and the silver one with some homebrew green – I think maybe Habanero and Blue eel I mixed together a year or two ago.

The pen in rotation today is Wality 69 EB (Teal Blue Ripple Ebonite) with custom ground fine Italic Nib. Wality 69 EB is ebonite iteration of the Wality 69 series and I have already reviewed the Acrylic model, Wality 69A. Currently it is inked with Camlin Permanent Black.



The thought of the day comes from Spiritual Leader, Swami Vivekananda. He was the major force behind revival of Hinduism in India.

If you don't mind, will you tell me the name of the yellow barrel material.....

The material appears to my eye as translucent, is that so.? Did Manoj

have this in stock or did you provide?

 

Thank you for your consideration.

ASA Galactic with JoWo broad nib. Inked with Chesterfield Antique Crimson. Southworth Fine Parchment Paper. My ASA arrived in the mail 6/7 and now putting it thru its paces. Truly it is a wet nib, and will need to use a dryer ink. Will ink the pen with R&K Alt Goldgrun to see how it works. The nib is almost smooth as butter--for a steel nib. I already love the feel of this pen; the flow of the ink; and the smoothness of the nib. This is a WINNER!! :wub: :wub: :wub: Thank you Mr. Subramaniam!!

      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
