The latest is a LeGrand rollerball with the new fineliner refill. I never liked the rollerball refill in any pen, but really like the MB fineliner.

Congratulations! This is the very thing I'm looking to do next now that I found out LeGrand fineliner refills are available. I am really yearning for that Ultra Black and think the LeGrand rollerball would be the perfect model to get as I have enough ballpoints. I love the Classique fineliner refills so much but never get to use that pen because it's just too small (and ironically my most expensive pen!).

 

How do you like the refills so far?

I keep thinking about selling some of my pens but all that happens is I keep acquiring more!

Concerning my recent purchase, the Maretele..

 

Well.. This happened! I am experiencing a WTH moment upon first flushing :crybaby:

OH NO, Pravda! This is so unfortunate. I am sure this will get resolved for you based on the experiences that you have had before with your Montblanc boutique staff. I am really hoping that this brand innovation Montblanc is experiencing is translating to their quality standards and procedures, even if only slowly. Please keep us posted about the status.

Thanks! I am hopeful it will get sorted soon. The problem is that the pen is so new it is not on their system yet, to get advice on repair procedures or spare parts. A request has been made, so we wait

Montblanc M Rollerball/Artfineliner. First impressions after only one day of use: pleasant to hold, excellent weight / balance, love the design. However, I'm quite disappointed with the refills: the Capless MB refill writes too thick for my taste and skips on cheap paper; the Schmidt capless Fine point works correctly, but has also some "skipping problems". The Artfineliner writes smoothly, but the line is (obviously) extremely thin.

Thanks. They showed me a Joseph II 888 pen and I am not sure what to do about that :(

When I'm not sure I tend to do nothing. Eventually something 'I have got to have' comes along the way

      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

      @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
