Plum Demi Parker 51, M nib, with vintage Quink Permanent Royal Blue. I actually ran out of ink today, so refilled it....

At the ready, but not used, was the M405 Stresemann, B nib, with (I think) 4001 Brilliant Black in it. I think it's getting low on ink, and am trying to decide whether to dump it and flush, and put something else in, or refill with distilled water to dilute it but keep the pen running, or what....

Today I'm using the beautifully restored 1948 Tuckaway Valiant I had to drive to the PO to retrieve.

 

How tiny it is! Slightly smaller than the TD Tuckaway but distinctly larger than my M300s and the tapered end makes posting more necessary than on those.

 

The filling mechanism seems to be working well and I've inked it with 1864 Blue-black which comes out slightly darker than the PaperMate stick pen I've been using it in, more like the "too dark" color people mention in reviews.

 

The nib is very smooth and I've written about a full page in my little ink journal so far - I'm off tonight so that's about the extent I'll do today. All in all, I'm very pleased with it.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

TWSBI Diamond 580AL Rose (fine nib) with first Diamine Chocolate Brown ink, and then when that finally ran out and I could try my new ink for Christmas Diamine Scribble Purple ink. Gorgeous writer, and easy to load with ink. My main workhorse pen now, even if it’s not my absolute favourite pen.

Tonight I'm using my new Golden Brown Valiant oversize Vac-fill, which I've filled with KWZ Honey.

I discovered these 2019 versions of the Wing Sung 601. I've given away a couple. This is the one I will use today.

      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
