I have been using my Monteblanc Boheme Pirouette Lilas with a pinkish purple ink. That is what you get when you do not flush the pen before changing colors.

Montegrappa Reminiscence (sterling section) with a Masuyama-sculpted medium cursive italic nib filled with Kung Te Cheng. This is one of the smoothest and most expressive writers I've experienced; a true pleasure to use.

I did a couple nib adjustments. I'm using what I am now calling my Mysterioso Pen.

 

I also dug out a Lanbo fountain pen, and adjusted the nib on that. I'm using it a little, while debating selling it.

The two new pens that came in the post today and which prevented me from cleaning the house on my day off were:#

  1. York Minster 13th Century Oak Firewood with gold fine and medium nibs (well I had to try them both out didn't I?!?...
    1. Writing with a piece of history
  2. Sheaffer 300 in Iridescent Red with medium steel nib
    1. My first Sheaffer (only took me 29 years)
    2. Very impressed with:
      1. The smoothness of the nib
      2. The width of section
    3. Will be using it unposted though! :excl:

Best wishes

      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
