Parker 51 Demi with a generous medium nib. For more absorbent paper, Parker Super 21 with a nib on the fine side of medium. I much prefer the bigger nib.

I'm starting something new this year; I'll be taking one fp to work with me each week.

We mainly use pencils at work so there's limited opportunity to use my fps but I'm determined to use them rather than have them sit in a box looking pretty.

Good for you...!

 

 

Stay safe!

I'm starting something new this year; I'll be taking one fp to work with me each week. Last week, it was my Baoer 517 with Diamine Ancient Copper (a perfect match but they do not play well together - the ink gunks up the nib after as little as a hour of not being used). This week, it's my Wing Sung 016 (pretty little pen) with Diamine Chocolate Brown.

Nice one.

 

I mainly use pencil at work, but still find plenty of oportunities to use an FP...or two. :D

Trying to decide which Heritage 92 to keep and which one to return.

 

I have the 'F' and 'M' nibs with Diamine's 'Imperial Purple' freshly filled in both. They're almost completely different pens. Tough choices.

Well, for the next 4 months my roster will be:

-Platinum #3776 (M nib)

-Noodler's Ahab

-Sheaffer 300

 

Sidenote, I should review a few of these!

Kaweco Sport M with R&H Blau Shwarz and my Preppy (trying to burn through the cartridge to eyedropper it).

 

Cant wait for my birthday nest month though. Gave the wife a list of pens, cant wait to see which she picked out.

Retired, twice. Time to do more things, writing being one.

I have five pens I am using today: two Lamy Vistas (one with red and the other with green Lamy ink), Lamy Dark Lilac with Dark Lilac ink, Pilot Falcon with Diamine Grey and a Platinum Chartres Blue pen with Edelstein Aquamarine. I do a lot of course planning so different colours help me keep track of what I am up to - and I just love the colours!

Oh my goodness. (I'm on my phone and can't use the slobbery, drooling emoticon thingy, but I do require a bib).

      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
