Currently I'm using a cheap one. A MontVerde Infinity in the Gunmetal Grey with the Red Trim. The Nib is a fine. I guess I can throw around this pen a bit, as it was cheap, as well as it works well.

At home, practicing the Palmer method with a freshly inked MB Carlo Collodi, F nib, Akkerman Bekakt Haags.

Notes at work with MB Agatha Christie, F nib, Iroshizuku Asa-gao.

Clear TWSBI 580 with F nib and Pelikan Edelstein Tanzanite ink. Lovely combination. If I hold the pen against light the ink looks different with different sources of light. Against natural light it looks blue and against artifiscial light it looks like a deep purple.

My new Parker Duofold Black and Pearl International. Currently testing with Quink Blue, than it will be changed for a J. Herbin. Probably Rose Cyclamen.

Sterling Silver Inoxcrom Sirocco hacked with an Italix fine italic nib filled with X-feather juiced with copper luster dust to give it some sparkle. Yep,.. I'm having a ball! :)

Practice makes permanent, so I started the day with a quick writing session at home. I am pretty sure I'll also be taking notes at work today. Same pens and inks.

Giving my green marble Waterman Phileas a rest and inked up the Parker Special 51 with some Parker Blue-Black ink.

Just received my Sailor 1911 large in EF yesterday and spent a bit of time today comparing it to the F I already had. Must say the differences are quite subtle, but the EF is indeed even narrower than the F. Aurora Black, bit of Palmer writing on Rhodia paper.

Same ones I use every day!

 

Montblanc Meisterstück Platnium-Plated Facet Classique Mechanical Pencil

Montblanc Boheme Doue Pirouette Lilas Fountain Pen

Onoto Centanary Fountain Pen

And quite possibly any other pen in my collection.

Keeping it plain today; Parker 45 in black with Quink black.

      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
