What pen(s) are you using today?


A Smug Dill

Recommended Posts

Not much writing today, but what there was of it was handled by a Lamy Safari with EF nib, and a Sheaffer No Nonsense with fine italic nib.

Re-inked the Ranga Bamboo with Tsuki-yo (but didn't flush the residual blue-black) ... no need to see the pen again, so here's iceberg-ish thingy...

Super cool drawing! Oh, yeah ... It is icebergish. I'm a sucker for blue-black and blue-grey inks.

Apologies for being a bit cryptic earlier @essayfaire ..."nice parings".. reminded me of fingernail clippings!!🤣

I was referring of course to the missing (i) in 'pairings' in a forlorn attempt at humour 😟

Here is today's 'pairing'...Pelikan M800 and Kaweco Sport Brass.

Today I’ve been using my Pelikan Souverän M1000 (F) filled with Akkerman #7 KoninginneNach-Blauw for writing some long overdue letters. And the Montblanc Meisterstück “Around the World in 80 Days” LeGrand (F) filled with Montblanc Midnight Blue was used to take notes during a morning meeting.

Today it's been The Rage Red Parker 45, M nib, with vintage Quink Permanent Blue Black; and the Forbidden City Noodler's Konrad, flex nib, with diluted Noodler's El Lawrence.

But it doesn't look half-dead!  Looks fully wise.

Cool Cat!

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

      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
