Grading exams using my Al-Star black EMR stylus with various Lamy bodies (Charged green, Mate black Joy). Usually, I would be using 20+ fountain pens, but Covid and virtual teaching forced me to go digital, using a Remarkable 2 tablet so my eyes are safe.

Today I'm using my Lamy Studio Imperial, a 1.1 nib with Montblanc Royal Blue ink on Rhodia Ivory pages. Makes me think of blueberries and cream!

YStudio Brassing, medium Schmidt nib and Sailor Shikiori Rikyu Cha...I really like this combination.

Today brought a recently purchased Parker 75 fine inked with Waterman Inspired Blue to work. (This was one of my favorite inks, but recently the Sailor Souboku might dethrone it...) I prepared teaching notes on office printing paper and jotted down to-do, to-buy lists in my Midori planner and Leuchtturm notebook 😁 Enjoying the little bit of line variation I'm getting out of this nib.

Aurora 888P (F) - Aurora Black

 

I am testing, but I think this nib is just a touch smoother with the Black, compared to Aurora Blue.

I had been down to my backup desk-pen (a Pelikan Level 5, which has been inked up since I got it years ago). Now that I finally had some time today, I finally got around to cleaning out a large bunch of pens and inking up some new ones.

I'm now using:

Lamy 2000 (B) with Diamine Grey

Pelikan 205 (yellow, BB) with Online Orange

Pelikan 205 (green, BB) with Robert Oster Verde de Rio

Aurora Optima (dark green, Italic) with CultPens Deep Dark Green

Senator Professional (EF) with KWZI IG Mandarin

Senator (unnamed, very long ink-window, F) with Monteverde Capri Blue

Chatterley Pens Romulus (Stub) with Diamine Oxford Blue

This is what I have inked today -- and likely will for the foreseeable future:

 

- Casa della Stilografica 75th Anniversary Leonardo Momento Zero in Brooks' Arctic Blast, fine, inked with Sailor Souboku

- Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze Age, medium Bacas cursive smooth italic, inked with Sailor Jentle Sky High

- Pilot Vanishing Point Galaxy Raden, medium, inked with Pilot Blue-Black

 

The Leonardo is an absolutely dreamy writer. This fine nib may be my favorite of all time... although I do adore the CSI on the Bronze Age as well. Good thing I can have both, as I don't think I'd be able to choose just one.

 

I've been on a blue/blue black kick recently, but I think Souboku usurps my love for Pilot Blue-Black. Once I finish this cart, I think I'll ink the VP with Sailor Oku-Yama or Pilot Bishamon-ten.

 

Also thinking about bringing my Nakaya Decapod back into the fold, but I have yet to find an ink that really goes with the bright midori stripes, so we'll see.

Monday, I used my 140 w/ MV Sapphire to fill out all the pink slip and DMV forms when I bought a used car. :)

Nice having wheels again.

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

      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
