Change in the choices:

 

Today and over the weekend I am using my Danitrio Densho ED flexi fine loaded with Noodler's Zhivago (had been loaded with Levenger Cobalt Blue) to write a couple of articles. Soooo nice.

 

Unloaded the Parker Sonnet Blue Lacque (Noodler's Brown), Danitrio Tosca (Diamine Sepia) and the Danitrio $27 pen (Green Marine).

 

Added Rotring Core with Herbin Vert Olive and another Core with Herbin Rouge Opera.

 

Kept the usual permanently loaded pens as they were: blues and blue-blacks.

 

No brown ink for the next week. If I can stand it.

 

Finishing off a load of Levenger Raven Black in a Sheaffer Triumph Imperial with broad nib, before sending pen to Richard binder for a nose job (stubbing).

 

Total count: 8 loaded and ready.

I've been carrying extra pens this week:

 

Parker 45 with a blue Parker Cartridge

 

Sheaffer school pen (I have no idea of the exact model) with a steel nib, loaded with a PR Naples Blue cartridge---just waiting for it to leak

 

 

Sheaffer Snorkel with MB Royal Blue ink

 

Parker-100 with a Parker Black cartridge

 

Rebecca Moss pen with Waterman Black ink

 

As usual, I have my MB Boheme ballpoint for carbon copies available (which means I'm carrying the matching FP in the same case)

It is a small selection today with a boring choice of colors. I'm away on a suprise business trip, so I had to keep things lite and "boring"

 

I am using:

 

Rotring Intitial with blue barrell and a F nib. This pen is filled with PR American Blue.

 

Pelikan M215 with the blue barrell with platinum-plated stripes in the barrell. It has a F nib. I bought this pen from Richard Binder, so the nib is smooth as glass and writes just fabulous. It is filled with Noodler's Legal Blue, which I believe is an Art Brown exclusive.

Today, I'm using a variety of pens.

 

The bulk of my writing today has been done with two pens: First is my fine-nibbed Waterman Phileas, filled with Noodler's Bulletproof Black. I'm also using a Visconti Van Gogh Midi filled with Noodler's Kiowa Pecan, a wonderful brown ink with just the right amount of red in it.

 

I've also had a few brief spells using a vintage OS Sheaffer balance with a lifetime nib. It's filled with Aurora Blue, as well as an Omas Ogiva with a fine nib filled with J. Herbin Bleu Nuit.

 

 

Ah, tomorrow's another day!

Today's starter is a Parker Sonnet Silver Fougere with a medium nib and Waterman black. I'll probably use my Lamy 2000 with a medium nib and Waterman Florida Blue, too. Both are outstanding writers!

German piston-filling pen day.

 

Pelikan 250, tortoise, fine nib, filled with Skrip Black

Lamy 2000, fine nib, filled with Pelikan Blue-Black.

 

I have not used my Pelikan for a while and I still really like the pen. Light weight, piston filled, nicely balanced, and writes great. It was nice using it again.

Trying out ink samples from James P. today. La Couleur Royale in my Dani $27, and Visconti Blue in my beat-up and beloved Pelikan Go! A beautiful blue day.

I slipped my Waterman 452 into my Piquadro this week. Talk about WET stubs...

The other tenant of the case, my Blue Cedar "51", continues to enjoy its long-term lease.

I am spending a lovely Sunday at home, snailing, drinking coffee and listening to very nice music. With me:

  • Bexley Tuck-Away, factory stub nib, with Montblanc Turquoise cartridges
  • Parker "51" Special with Aurora Blue
  • Aurora Ipsilon, grey celluloid, stub nib and Rohrer & Klingner Sepia

Here is a lousy scan of the latter.

Today, I'm using a Hero 616 recently filled with Sailor Jentle Yellow-Orange ink. I just want to.

 

I'm also using a Parker "51" demi aero, with PR Midnight Blues and a Visconti Van Gogh, with a stub nib modified by Greg Minuskin. It has Noodler's Midnight in it (sometimes you just feel like blue-black!)

 

Later, I'll be filling a co-worker's cocoa "51" with Sailor Blue and giving that a test run.

      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
