Waterman Edson in blue with standard M nib and boring workhorse Quink black (needed for work purposes... better for copying, faxing, etc.)

Pelikan M800 Tortoise with BB nib and FPN Galileo brown.

Lamy Nexx with F nib and Quink dark blue because it's dark enough for work while being at least a bit different.

 

Glenn.

My way of relaxing - spending an hour or so ogling vintage fountain pens! There was a time I wondered why collectors commission thieves to heist valuable paintings. Then I saw a Degas - and understood why. The sheer desire to possess and view - even if only for oneself! Vintage fountain pens are such too. And , I have a feeling, that all fountain pen collectors have a writer somewhere inside them.

Phillipe - I liked your pens very much. Cheers all.

New Montegrappa Emblema in beautiful red w/ F nib and Montegrappa Black cartridge.

 

I haven't had the pen for long enough to write seriously with it, so I'm breaking it in w/ provided cartridges.

 

I finally found my desired Emblema at Bromfield Pen Shop in Boston, while visiting on a trip. Yey! :D

Lamy Dialogue 3 (Black Matte & Palladium Finish - Fine & Medium Nib respectively)

Lamy 2000 (Black & Steel Finish - Fine & Medium Nib Respectively)

 

What I have noticed is while writing with the Dialogue 3 - the Pen fails to write, on the other hand with the 2000, I have never faced this issue.

 

Why is it the 2000 writes beautifully and the dialogue 3 fails to write?

 

I am using Omas & Private Reserve Ink.

My new Noodler's Konrad roaring 20s Brown Tortoise which I love. Inked up and working right away. Now I just need a brown ink that satisfies me. Either they look like dirt or a washed out pooey color (the ones I have sampled).

      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
