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...).

1996 Sheaffer Holly pen set. Very smooth writer, medium.

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).

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
