Absolutely beautiful pens and equally beautiful inks. Thanks Pravda.

I have been sidetracking with other brands for a couple of months now but this thread is a constant reminder that I need to get an OBBB sooner than later.

Oh wow! Our own private travelogue. What a miracle to see such wonders from half a world away.

 

My paper stash normally includes Tomoe, Paperblanks, Rhodia, Clairefontaine and Quo Vadis Habanas. Now I have Whiteline samples and like them very much.

Hi Tom, both your pen and hand writing are spectacular! Thank you providing us all these beautiful photos!

I just curious whether you feel bored about 149, since if it was me, I don't feel the same excitement when I get a same pen (I mean mostly the same, could be different nib width or different version)

And among all your 149s, which are your top 3 favorites and why?

I recognize that path. My first pen in fifth grade was a green No Nonsense. Peacock Blue and Emerald Green cartridges were my standard, as our teacher allowed us to use whatever colors we liked so long as we wrote copiously.

After seeing so many pictures you made me buy this three... They have been with me for less than a month and I love seeing them together. I just realized I hadn't shared it with you, nor had I said thanks.

 

This are 146s though

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
