Parker 45 with Diamine Onyx Black, replaced the ridiculously wide medium nib with an EF which is much nicer.

In the pocket of my jacket:

Parker Arrow Flighter / Fine nib / De Atramentis Dark Blue Document ink - this is my "dress pen" at the moment.

On the table:

Lamy Safari / 1.1mm nib / Diamine Deep Dark Blue (Cult Pens special). I won the ink :happy: and also won the pen in a different competition :bunny01:. - For notes by my working desk.

Montblanc 149 / Medium nib / Montblanc Midnight Blue - always on my table, always this ink (or the blue-black before they changed it).

In a Franklin-Christoph pen case in my pocket:

Lamy Safari / Fine nib / Noodler’s Black - the smoothest writer ever! And I don't like Safaris, fine nibs, or black inks!

TWSBI Diamond 580 / 1.1 mm nib / J Herbin 1670 Ocean Blue - I like this ink a lot.

 

Also in my pocket: a Calepino No 3 notebook. Nice. :wub:

I am no longer very active on FPN but feel free to message me. Or send me a postal letter!

Today I've been testing out a new Jinhao X750 that I couldn't resist buying for 6 bucks (including shipping from China). My wife and I actually like it enough that we just bought another for her. It writes a bit broad for my taste but is pretty smooth and the fact that it is a massive chunk of stainless steel pleases me (I like heavy pens, which I gather is strange, and unposted it feels nicely balanced).

      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
