Nice! I have yet to get OMAS for myself...

Tried to win a pen on an auction site but the bid went astronomical on some of the OMAS pens...

Someday...

The auctions are getting crazy these days especially for arcos. You can still get some fair prices on the older style Paragon along with a stray newer Milord here and there. All of them are great pens! The new ones might need some nib tuning though. That or I have bad luck with nibs lol

Someday the mountain might get em but the law never will.........

indeed...

Newer ones are probably more reachable.

I can alwaya send pens to Mr. Mike Masuyama if the nib needs to be worked on :)

Dream, take one step at a time and achieve. :)

So far today (it's still early) it's been the family heirloom Sheaffer Balance Oversize, F (I think) nib, newly inked up with Birmingham Schenley Park Thicket Green.

Closing out the year with a Stainless Steel Liliput. The nib is an extra-fine that came with a mild baby's bottom, but a few passes on a polishing stick fixed it right up.

Nice:)

I actually love Demi. With the cap posted, it is a perfect size for me :)

Got a TWSBI Diamond 580 AL silver for Christmas. Inked it up with Diamine Meadow.

 

Also got the Monteverde Luna desk pen. Not a fan of it, really... Review coming soon. Glad it was a gift and not something I spent my own money on.

My new Lamy Studio in racing green came in today! I have the pen inked with a new bottle of Diamine shimmering Arctic Blue. The nib in fine is pretty scratchy so Ill swap it out with another Lamy nib I have around. The racing green finish looks great though and Im happy to have it! The converter it came with has a media blasted finish of which I have not seen before on a Lamy. Not sure if its exclusive to the limited edition but its different for me.

      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
