Down to the last 2 in my standard rotation of 9 - Graf von Faber Castell Intuition Terracotta, inked with Syo Ro, and MB Jules Verne, inked with R&K Cassia.

 

I am leaving for a few weeks so am hoping to finish their ink today and ink up the new set of 9:

Parker 51 Rare Earth (Kullock)

Aurora 88

Omas AM87

MB Starwalker

MB Schiller

Delta Carabinieri

Platinum Izumo Yagumonuri

Visconti Millenium

 

Except for the Aurora, all of these are getting inked for the first time. So looking forward to this!

Haven't been on FPN for a long long time, and now that I'm back, the first thread I noticed was this one! What an awesome thread that still lasts even after 8 years. :D

 

My stash for the day:

 

1. Pilot Kakuno and its cutesy smiley F nib

2. Pilot Custom 742 with a nice SFM nib (picture to follow)

I just love Pilot fountain pens a lot recently...

Today I used my Noodler's Konrad Ebonite with 1.1 stub nib and the Nussbaum Pen - Jon Ross Series. I went to the local Post Office where I had to sign for a package. I pulled out of my purse my Jinhao 599 inked with Noodlers ink. The postal employee first asked me if he could write with my pen, and then asked me if he could have one of my pens. I gave him the Jinhao 599, and had a brief opportunity to share with him the joys of writing with a fountain pen. We spoke of where he might purchase a bottle of ink locally, and how to hold a FP. Thank goodness the Jinhao 599 had only cost me $1.99, and I had previously smoothed the nib. I think we have a convert!

2 Sheaffers .... no TWSBIs or Esties in the last few hours.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

      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
