My regular daily drivers right now are:

 

  • Parker 45 Flighter 14k (M) - Waterman Serenity Blue
  • Lamy LX Palladium (M) - Platinum Dye Black

 

I have tried and liked a number of different inks in the P45, including Quink Blue-Black and a vintage bottle of Sheaffer Blue-Black, but I find the Waterman works best for me in this pen.

This morning, so far, it's been the Shrek Puss in Boots Parker Vector, with Birmingham Pens Gunpowder Tea. Not what I was expecting for color, and not really to my taste (nice shading, but otherwise it reminds me a lot of R&K Alt Goldgrun or Diamine Kelly Green (which was so light as to be almost illegible...).

Visconti Van Gogh Starry Night fine nib with Diamine Chocolate Brown ink. Trying desperately to jot down an idea for a future computer game I'll write when I've finished the current one - the idea popped into my head very unexpectedly. Scribbling very fast, before the idea vanishes out of my head completely! Luckily this pen is an incredibly smooth writer, floating across the paper.

This morning, I inked up a couple of new clear Noodler's Ahabs.

 

1. Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Roses - gorgeous color. This ink is what I had hoped Diamine Syrah would be.

2. Noodler's Whaleman's Sepia - at first, this one came out very in thick lines and so dark as to be almost black. But then I adjusted the feed, and now it's a finer line and the lovely sepia brown I was looking for.

 

I was going to order some Goulet #6 nibs for these pens. But now that I have them adjusted the way I like, I may save the $30 for the moment.

 

These samples have passed the test, and bottles will now go on my to-buy list.

Sailor Pro-Gear Slim Purple Cosmos, zoom nib, with old-version Sailor Sky High.

Parker Vacumatic Green Shadow Wave, F (?) nib), with vintage Quink Microfilm Black.

At some point, probably later this evening, I need to finish the review/test I started of Birmingham Pens Gunpowder Tea, currently in the Parker Vector Shrek/Puss in Boots pen, M nib; partly I've had too much running around to do since Christmas, and since getting home on Sunday that hasn't let up -- I've done 9 loads of laundry, had choir rehearsal last night, then today had to run errands including mailing bills, some grocery shopping, and picking up some paperwork from the bank that has to be signed and gotten back to the loan officer on Thursday having to do with the line of credit re-fi).

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
