As a backup pen I'm using a Vintage Onoto 5601 with 3/st nib and transparent barrel. Amazing nib although I have to find a replacement this has a crack by the heart shaped breather hole

 

Let's see more of the transparent one!!

Also a 51 Signet with a F nib and blue ink for me (Herbin Bleu Verrerie) -- which I'll now consider an act of solidarity with @inkstainedruth and a get-well-soon to her husband!

  Today  my blue shimmer and brown shimmer pens ran dry, so I filled two 1.1 stub  TWSBI Ecos with shimmer inks. In my Cerulean Eco, there is Esterbrook Shimmer Aqua, and the Indigo one is filled with DeAtramentis Whisky Brown-Copper.

In addition to the Parker 51 Signet (Herbin Bleu Verrerie) I was using yesterday, I've been flitting from pen to pen like a spring chickadee:

 

• Last night, the Leonardo MZG Nocciola Cuspide with the cursive italic nib (Waterman Mysterious Blue), which I'm coming to terms with. The flexibility of titanium is an odd match with a CI nib, since it can make the sweet spot into a moving target, but some of the minor trouble I was having with this nib seems to have been resolved by using a better-lubricated ink, and some of it has been resolved by using it more and getting the feel for it; although I was a little worried that I might end up with permanent buyer's remorse about the nib (though not the pen), I'm now feeling more optimistic.

 

• Also last night, the Omas 361 Extra (Lamy Petrol). No notes, just cool, sleek pleasure.

 

• This morning, the Summit S.125 (Waterman Brown). No notes, just staid, buttoned-down pleasure.

 

I'll probably switch over to the pens I have filled with the new Taccia Ukiyo-e Kuniyoshi inks (Budounezu and Kuromidori) at some point today, both of which I'm enjoying a lot. The Kuromidori, in particular, is sneaky and weird and fun; behind the red-orange sheen it's a sort of green leaning teal-black that I really like and which doesn't look like anything else I own.

Pelikan M1000, with Pelikan ink of the Year Amber. B nib.

[boilermaker1975]

@H. Herdick That pen is on my wish list.

Asvine J16 Ebonite.  I put a Franklin Christoph SIG Medium on it - I thought that the BB was great, but I really like the Medium even a little bit better as it hits the sweet spot of being broad enough to have variation, but small enough to use for my everyday writing - at least on Mnemosyne.  It also really shows off the subtle shading of Lamy Azurite, reminding me why that ink is special to me.
