inkohesive Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 In this case, a Clairefontaine Triomphe A5. And the pen of choice - Pilot Custom 823, the double reservoir makes flying with a FP so much easier and worry free. ink! Ink! The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education (A.

Moonshae Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Nice pen! Link to post Share on other sites
FOUR X FOUR Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I like your photo. I keep looking through the trees to see if I can find Waldo. Your 823 is nice as well. I have 2 of them. I use to think it was silly for someone to own 2 of the same pen. Link to post Share on other sites
katerchen Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 What's the nib size on that pen? I'm about to board the 823 train and trying to decide between Medium and Bold (going off of the conventional wisdom of Japanese pens running narrower ... what I really want is something comparable to a Pelikan medium) -k Link to post Share on other sites
Shybiker Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Great photos, nice pen. I've posted about travelling with our pens and think it's a fun topic. I hope more of us write about it. Link to post Share on other sites
MHBru Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Always travel w a notepad but not a fountain pen. This trip takes me to Little Rock Arkansas and I packed my A5ish Black n Red with my Pelikan k800 ballpoint and an old rotting 700 rollerball. And since I had time I took a field trip to Vanness and bought some clairefontaine and leuchturm notebooks. Great store. Lisa was very helpful and I wish there was a store like this in my hometown!

sidthecat Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I have them stashed all over: a Leuchtturm at my desk in the office, a little Metaphys on my person and an A5 of various makes in the bedroom. You never know when you're gonna get an idea. Link to post Share on other sites

You never know when you're gonna get an idea.I keep an A5 notepad on a small writing table in the living room (and an inked FP conveniently happens to be around too, of course...), always looking for excuses to jot something down. By now my wife is familiar with my 3 minutes writing breaks :-) Ink! The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education (A. Einstein) Link to post Share on other sites
