This Wednesday I am using my new ASA TransNauka which fitted with 1.1 Black Oxide JoWo Nib and Inked with Iroshizuku Yama-Budo.

The word of the day is : LOQUACIOUS

Wow. Forgotten how much I like Yama-budo....

I have too many pens in rotation at the moment (and just refilled a couple at that). But I'm thinking that I should put that in the Green Shadow Wave I got at the Triangle Pen Show a couple of weekends ago, once I run through the Waterman's Mysterious Blue.

I believe most of the Iroshizuku inks are amazing and only sailor inks give them. The competition..

Correction: The first pen is an X450, not the X750. Tired eyes from all the writing today.

The pen in Rotation today is Worther Profil inked with KWZI Orange Ink. The pen is made of Aluminium and comes with standard medium nib which writes decently.




The thought today is all about believing in yourself, though know about the author of the same.

That's interesting, Mr Mehandiratta. I didn't know Worther made fountain pens. I have one of their excellent lead holder pencils though! :)

Inked up a Noodler's Nib Creaper with Diamine Bilberry. I really wanted this ink but I'm not sure I love how it looks in writing versus a large swatch.

Worther makes two models of Fountain Pens, one is Worther Compact and Other is Worther Profil.... both are machined Aluminium pen and in fact they are inexpensive and and can become daily workhorse... and they come in 3 finishes...

 

Yes I also have used their fantastic lead-holders...

      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
