This week I mostly used my TWSBI Diamond 580 ( With MB Poppy Red).

But today my new Opus 88 Demo arrived ! (Thanks P.W. Akkerman for their fast and nice delivery!) So, surely this will be my most used pen for the coming week...

It is my first eyedropper pen.

 

Now, where are you my Conid.... Hopefully we will meet at the end of the month!

Parker Urban (newest model) Blue (M-nib) + Visconti Blue ink. Easily one of the best combinations.

 

Parker Duofold (newest model) Big Red Vintage (International - F-nib) + Visconti Blue ink. Wonderful combination, although the blue turns out rather dark...

I really love this post and seeing all the great pens people have. The blue inked Opus 88 pen really caught my attention. I have not seen that pen until now and it looks amazing to me. It looks a lot like glass. I really like demonstrator pens the right ink makes them look even more amazing.

Today I inked up my Gama Hawk, in Matte Black Ebonite. I love this pen, but it has some drawbacks and hasn't been inked in a while.

Its full of Black Swan in Australian Roses.

Finally traded out my M600 for a GVFC Classic. I wanted my flagship EDC to be have more of a flagship feel and like the weight of the Graf. The Lamy and the Pilot have been part of my EDC for years and years and I can't ever imagine finding anything better to change them out for. The Duofold is a rollerball. It's identical fountain pen variant lives at home, and the Cross Century is my work pocket pen. I carry a Space Pen when outside of work or travelling.

I love that Conklin. I swapped out the nib and feed for an Edison combo, but still can't get the thing to write properly. Who cares though- it looks classy and feels great to handle!

New in the Family: Wing Sung 698F (arrived today, and now I will stop buying FPs for a while).

The manual is completely in Chinese (I think..), funny...

It looks a bit like my TWSBI also in the writing, but the quality feels a little bit "cheaper". The feed in glass is very nice to see. It's really a nice pen for this price, only I hope it will last after time. We'll see...

      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
