  Some of my earliest memories are roller skating in a long gone rink to this song. I was three.

Today I've enjoyed using a few different pens, but mostly my Conway Stewart 55 and 479 with CI grinds from two different nibmeisters to contrast their grinds.  

 

I have a Sailor Realo that I want to get some use tonight as well, so that's up next, maybe for a letter to my wife.  Those always get me brownie-points.

Today I'm choosing a Pilot Falcon.  After months of jumping on medium and broad nibs, italic and whatnot, I'm back to enjoying the finer things in life.  This is an SEF and I love writing with this and the Platinum UEF right now.

Today: the Parker blue marbled Duofold Centennial <EF> with Monteverde Sapphire, which was probably the pen I wrote most with this week. Other than a couple of moments of needing to advance the converter plunger to keep things flowing, it's been a flawless writer. It's been accented today with a Platinum 3776 Century Oshino demonstrator in <M>, filled with Diamine Red Dragon, and supplemented by a marine green Sheaffer Balance Lifetime vac-filler with Herbin Lie de Thé, with a smooth, precise, and firm fine nib.

      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
