Waterman CF pens are very nice pens with many variants including solid gold. It is unfortunately that the cartridges and converters are not made any more.

I was lucky last year to get a CF set with an unopened pack of 8 cartridges plus a few other CFs I have came with empties to refill. I should be good for a very long time!

New nib for my Waterman Hemisphere. New section will not fit the old but the nib and feed are the same. This pen came with a corroded nib but with a replacement its back to working condition

thanks @Misfit I had purchased it a while ago and only just got around to dealing with the bad nib - the Hemisphere seems like it will make a decent daily writer for me, well..one of a few I take to the office!

The K600 Red White arrived today, it's lovely. Had ordered red gel refills (M), they also arrived today, complements the pen nicely. The FP should be here next week.

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

I received a Kaweco Sport Frosted Lime with BB nib today. I’m not sure what ink I’ll use yet. I put it on a Word Search puzzle book for the photo.

I got two pens in the mail today. I was lucky enough to shop with Levenger on a buy one pen, get one pen free day.

The top pen is my favorite of the two. It’s the Sapphire Mosaic. The bottom pen is Larimar blue, and has some whiter parts I’m not so fond of as seen on the barrel closest to the other pen.

That's a very expressive pen holder! Truly a work of art!

 

It's very heavy, as well, must weigh a pound.  Described as brass in listing, unsure if solid or plated. Wondering if I should use some brass polish on it on leave it as is.

I mean that as a sculptor myself; it's exquisitely modeled for a stationery item. Leave it.

It is very good looking. I would not polish it...

Yes, I suppose that's for the best. It's earned its patina.

My order from Atlas Stationers came today of an exclusive Delta Duna. I am really liking the sparkle in the material and its smooth writing. I think I'm going to enjoy it as much as my other two Delta pens.

@Driften that Delta is beautiful, and Atlas Stationers is a great store. 

I agree and the last change and exclusive deals are 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
