"It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

I'm using the burgundy Sheaffer Valiant TD with 14k Triumph nib that arrived today. It's in quite good condition, plastic's a little dull but no brassing on the cap band and clip, writes pretty smoothly and the filling mechanism works a treat. Have inked it Cacao du Bresil and overall am very pleased.

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

First day at work after the one month challenge so I'm back to my (current) EDC, green-stripe M300 with Musk Green, along with a JIF I'm trying out Fuyu-gaki in.

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

Left to Right

*Pilot Custom 74 - soft fine nib - DeAtramentis Document Black

*Sailor 1911 Large - extra fine nib - Sailor cartridge

*Nemosine Fission - fine nib - Edelstein Onyx

*M&G CEGMA - medium Gullor/Jinhao nib

*Lamy Studio - extra fine nib - Rohrer & Klingner SketchInk, Lotte

*Osmiroid - Gullor/Jinhao medium nib (tweaked to wehhht and smoooth) Iroshizuku Take sumi

 

And underneath a Unitech Technical Pen /.5 nib.

Although not a fountain pen, I include this to put to rest my rant on Rohrer & Klingner dokumentus. After an eyedropper of White Lightning it has given a satisfactory performance as a technical pen ink. (But I'll never put it in a fountain pen again.)

Currently inked: Ebonite Sailor KoP in medium, Pro Gear black resin (broad), Faber Castell ondoro (medium), Graf Von Faber Castell Classic in platinum (fine). Im trying to force myself to finish all pens before inking any new ones as a general rule - about two of the four are near empty.

Currently inked:

  • Wing Sung 698 - Noodler's 54'th Massachusetts
  • Pilot Metropolitan - J. Herbin Perle Noire
  • Baoer 388 - Custom ink mix: Diamine Prussian Blue + Pelikan Brilliant Black + Noodler's Black with a tiny drop of dishwashing soap as lubricant
  • Jinhao x750 - Custom ink mix: Pelikan Brilliant Black + Noodler's Black with a tiny drop of dishwashing soap.

 

Using these mostly with Rhodia 80g paper or oem photocopy paper.

 

I didn't like Noodler's Black (it is not black as I've expected from the reviews I've read, plus too dry. Shaking didn't help, maybe I got a bad batch), so I'm mixing with other of my inks instead of throwing it away in a shelf to forget to give it a purpose, also this instantly becomes a mix test. So far so good.

      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
