The jade Wahl has run out of ink, so the next "one pen" is my Burgundy Pelikan 200 with extra extra fine Binder nib that I bought through the Marketplace. Sweet

Tonight I have my ST Dupont Andalusia in my shirt pocket with ST Dupont Blue-Black in it. This pen has a medium nib and is one of the smoothest writers in my collection.

Finished up a converter full of Golden Greener in the Phileas (F) and the last of the Diamine Umber in the White Tortoise. Put some nice Lie de The in the modified flexy Falcon, which looks really swell. And loaded the white Safari with Diamine Emerald, which may be a new favorite. Love it.

 

Pondering what I should load up next.

Lately, I have grown a taste for Manuscript's Folded "Butterfly" nibs (Medium). The subtle scractchiness on paper is savoury after using nothing but super-smooth nibs.

 

The shaps of the nib tip is so that's it's kinda like an inverted stub (ie: Thicker lines horizontal, thinner lines vertical)

 

They're a joy to write with for pages and pages of notes.

I'm using my Pelikan M620 Grand Place fountain pen with a fine nib and Sheaffer Brown. This pen is very difficult for me to set down! It's a real looker and great writer, too! Richard posted a picture of it on this board a few days ago.

Today's four:

 

Filcao Columbia with Noodlers Walnut (I'm just loving this pen these days).

Parker Vac Standard with Diamine Prussian Blue

Sheaffer Touchdown with Diamine Umber

Parker 51 Aero with Waterman Florida Blue

 

These were a good mix today because I was editing a paper. so I got much use from the different colors.

      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
