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.

Thanks. I believe only the transluscent 74s are available outside of Japan. I bought mine on ebay from a Japanese seller (cool japan). It cost quite a bit less too. I highly recommend getting the soft nib option too.

Been a busy day for me pen-wise:

Boston Safety (flex nib) -- Noodler's Kung Te Cheng

Pelikan M400 (F nib) -- De Atramentis Van Dyck Brown

Parker 61 (M nib) -- diluted unknown black ink

Parker 45 (OF or OM nib) -- diluted Califolio Gris de Payne

Pilot Decimo (F nib) -- Iroshizuku Kon-peki

Pelikan 400 (OB nib) -- Diamine Terra Cotta

 

Some were pens that were being finished up, some were newly inked.

I'm a day late here, but on Friday, I was using my brand new JinHao x750, which also happens to be my first Chinese pen (so I took it to work and turned it into a wage slave for the day)

 

Very nice for a $7 pen.

I'm using my new (birthday present from my husband) Kaweco Liliput. It's the fire blue with EF nib. Diamine Blue Velvet ink looks great with the varying blue/copper tones. I did the flush with soapy warm water and the pen worked from the get-go. It's a pleasure to write with; it's the current favorite and will come to many meetings to do its work! Very pleased with the pen. I also got a fine nib in case the EF was too scratchy or had poor flow. Not the case here though.

~ A 1950s Pelikan 400 Tortoise OF inked in Montblanc William Shakespeare Velvet Red.



The slender strokes it produces are ideal for a project on which I'm working.

      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
