Diamond 580AL with a fine nib filled with Iroshizuku Kon-peki

 

Black Eco 1.1mm stub filled with Diamine Kelly Green, until my bottle of Noodler's Habanero comes in the mail tomorrow, anyway. It's going to be my Halloween pen for the next couple of months. :lticaptd:

I just cleaned out most of my other pens this weekend. Since getting my TWSBIs last month I don't like writing with my other pens nearly as much.

I'm using my burgundy Classic with medium nib. I'd been using it somewhat rarely since the cap cracked shortly after I cracked it a couple of years ago. However, Mr. Wang sent me a new cap for the cost of shipping from Taiwan, and since it arrived today, it's like having a new pen. I like and trust my Classic again!

 

The Classic is dedicated to Noodler's Antietam, but I may start putting other inks in it if I find myself using it more.

I jump back and forth among my three Minis (each a different model) with EF, F & M nibs, all aftermarket from FP Nibs, plus my Vac Mini with stock F nib-all using a variety of Waterman inks.

White Eco with M nib that I bought on a whim at the Wonderpens sale - inked with Noodler's Bad Black Moc, it really is quite good. I am enjoying writing with this pen more than I have ever with my 540 or 580!

580 with Noodler's Black. It's running low on ink. When it's dry, I'm going to try Old Manhattan Blackest Black in it.

Today I used my Diamond 580AL filled with Iroshizuku Fuyu-syogun. I adore writing with this pen. And the more I use this ink, the more I love it. And I like how that bluish gray looks in my silver and clear pen. I'm using a sample right now, but I foresee buying a bottle in the future...

Visiting Taiwan this week, so I thought what better time than now to get my first TWSBI. I thought I'd be able to find a TWSBI anywhere but that is not the case. Visited few bookstores and department stores and while fountain pens are quite popular here, did not see any TWSBIs. Did a quick google search and found Ty Lee penshop in Taipei that carry TWSBI. A wonderful penshop by the way. A must visit if you are ever in Taipei. Two floors of fountain pens, inks, and much more!

 

Anyway I got myself the all clear Eco 1.1 stub. For $35, it's brilliant. Well made, and writes nice.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
