Today is a bit of a mix. I started with my new Conklin All American Courage (Red), Stub, Conklin Black (came with the pen). It is an impressive pen, but I can't say I enjoyed it much. I like the pen itself quite a bit, the nib however is questionable. I will replace it.

 

Then I wrote a bit with my Kaweco AL Sport, Black Stonewashed, M nib (black), still with Kaweco Blue. Quite the opposite in terms of size, but I like this pen a lot. Maybe it is the stonewashed look.

 

To my delight the 1930s vintage pen I ordered was delivered early. A Waterman 94 in gray & red (marbled, celluloid) with a 14K flexible F nib. It is now inked up with Diamine Oxford Blue. It is such a pretty pen, about the same size as my Pelikan 140. This nib makes writing fun.

My everyday carry now, since last May, is the (now retired color) Peanut Butter Conklin Crescent with a fine nib, filled with Conway Stewart Bodmin Black ink. The photo is my beautiful yellow lab Peanut (Butter of Sherwood), RIP. 20200303_170314.thumb.jpg.8a789c5450d4743353f5deb5a1384e5c.jpg

In honor of our new President and the signing pen he used yesterday, I have my Cross Classic II in black laquer with gold plated trim.  Like him, I am using the felt tip but in blue not black.

My main writing pen for a while will be a TWSBI 580 Rose filled with Smoky Quartz. I'm trying to write it out and end up with just one pen filled with that ink rather than two. The other, an M200 Smoky Quartz, is a recent arrival - it wins, no contest! If I'd had my head working right I would have checked my pen log and transferred the ink. :wacko:

 

There's also the lovely task of choosing another ink for the Rose once it's empty.

Will work for pens... :unsure:

      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..

      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
