Misfit: That is a very handsome pen!

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.

Today’s pen is the Kaweco AL Sport Ruby Red with 1.1mm stub nib. The cartridge in it needed some reviving with water. The ink is Waterman Radiant Pink.

    I just put a cartridge of Platinum Blue-Black in my UEF BelAge. I may have to report for jury duty tomorrow morning, so I am anticipating having to take notes on terrible paper. My last stint as a juror, they wouldn’t let me use my own paper, so I learned to use my narrowest nibs and driest inks. 

Top 5 (in no particular order) of 30 currently inked pens:

Parker Duofold Centennial IM, RO Rose Gold Antiqua

Parker Duofold Lady needlepoint, MB Cool Grey

MontBlanc 1441 F, Monteverde Brown Sugar 

Platinum PKB 2000, Platinum Cyclamen Pink

Waterman 52 EF, Herbin Bleu Pervenche

always looking for penguin fountain pens and stationery

Today it's been the recently acquired Parker 45 Flighter, B (or stub?) nib, with diluted Robert Oster Dragon's Night; and the Sailor Pro Gear Slim Purple Cosmos, zoom nib, with diluted Sailor Jentle Sky High.

"It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

Today I’m going back to my favorite 1.1mm stub nib pens. It will be the Monteverde Trees of the World Avenue of the Baobabs. It is filled with Iroshizuku Tsukushi. The pen is based on actual Baobab trees in Madagascar.

Really nice looking pen...  👍😀   Looking forward to seeing a sample of the Tsukushi ink.

Today I'm playing with a newly-arrived Moonman V60. I've been considering an OMAS 360 and bought this to see if the handling would suit me - the jury's still out at the moment.

I am using a Conklin amber Duragraph filled with Waterman Serenity Blue ink today. The pen has a stub nib so it isn't always practical, but is enjoyable to use upon occasion.

I've been looking for a nice match for my Piano Red Studio.  I may have to try this.  Nice combination.

You do have an eclectic preference in choosing your fountain pens indeed!  Do most of them have a particular nib you get or something they have in common I wonder?
