At different times and for different purposes, a Gravitas Entry, a Stilform, and an Onoto Magna.

Today's pen is an annoyingly-scratchy white Lamy Safari. :angry:

 

I was hoping it would settle with use, but I wrote my journal this morning with a nail buffer handy so it could make repeated little visits (after first having dh examine it closely with his microscope, of course). The ink is the Lamy blue cartridge that came with it cos Some Idiot (me...) forgot to order a converter for it. Horrible colour.

Will work for pens... :unsure:

Pink TWSBI 580-AL, B nib, with KWZI Chicago Green LE (the special show ink for this years's Chicago Pen Show.  An interesting color (although I haven't gotten any sheen out of it), but also wet and very saturated (to the point of being slightly cloggy at times.

The blue-striped M405 tonight. The Kana-cho has been in long enough since the flush and re-inking that the green sheen is becoming quite apparent in the wet line, a few more days still to go for the dried line.

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

Today it was the Vibrant Pink al-Star, 1.1 mm nib, finishing up a fill of MB Permanent Blue-Black; and the Medieval Lapis Noodler's Konrad, flex nib, with (what IIRC is diluted) Noodler's Akhmatova.

I got to pick one of those up at the recent Hammersmith pen show @PAKMANit was deliciously heavy and is definitely on my wish list in the future. I am intrigued if the pen picked you or of it was a destination pen for you? I think it came in other finishes too, maybe a ‘Barley’ design - what made you pick this one and are you still interested as enchanted with it as you were when you first obtained it? A lovely pen, thanks for sharing this morning.

I came across it at the Dallas Pen show and the price was right. I had not had this specific pen on my radar before that. It is beautiful and this is my first inking of it to try it out!

Today I’m using my black Sailor 1911 Realo, M nib. Inked with Monteverde’s Blu Velvet Cake. A very nice color.

      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
