I've been using an unbranded pen from a giftset many years ago. It's dark red, marbled effect with gold coloured trim and contains a Reynolds red ink cartridge bought in France. The pen is just under 11cm long. I have been correcting exercise books.

I'm getting ready for a hectic, long work week. My three-pen case is filled with:

 

Pilot VP in blue carbonesque, 0.9mm Binder italic nib, lots of extra Pilot Blue-black cartridges.

Pelikan M620 Shanghai, fine nib, diluted Sailor Oku-yama.

MB 146, broad nib, Noodler's Zhivago.

I must have been feeling the allure of the sea; both of today's pens are Sailors.

 

1. Sailor Imperial (made for Levenger) with a hard medium Emperor nib (filled with Herbin's Eclat de Saphir).

 

2. Sailor Magellan with a hard fine nib (filled with Sailor Jentle blue/black).

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

By the way?. Can anyone give a hand in addressing the green waterman?. it was a gift from my brother back in early nineties, at the Uni. It writes wonderfully smooth after more than 20 years.

From my Sheaffer calligraphy set, a simple "beginners set", I carry a fine-nib pen in my pocket, and additionally I have with me a 1.1 and 1.5 Reform calligraphy pens in ma bag.

At home I use a Pelikan 140 and sometimes a beautifull Wahl pen from the 1920s, which used to belong to my grandfather. But I also use at home Rotring Art pens, also for calliraphy.

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
