Some unidentified Wearever lever pen with a stub nib -- KWZI IG Mandarin (which has unfortunately oxidized some, because I didn't realize that the cap wasn't tight).

TWSBI 580-al, B nib -- diluted Diamine Tudor Blue.

Pilot Decimo, F nib -- Iroshizuku Yama-budo.

So a double of newcomers today: its the first time I inked my Lamy Aion and that’s the first inked pen that got down my new Currently Inked notebook from Inky Fingers, double happiness. I liked the very wet medium nib, but its not the smoothest pen I got (its the most expensive until now).

Kaweco sport, fine nib inked with Diamine Blue Velvet. I really like this blue (matches pen color) and it's SO smooth!

MB Bordeaux 144 medium from 1983. Writes like a fine even though the box indicated medium.

Pilot Custom 74, soft-fine medium nib. MB Lavender Purple.

 

 

That is a gorgeous pen (and ink). I'm a noob to Pilot Customs. Is it just me or does this look nothing like the Pilot Custom 74s I see on Goulet? A different flavor, same stuff? Yours looks great. The ones there, not nearly as nice.

      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
