My current daily writer is a silver pearl Parker Vac. Love it! It's far from cosmetically perfect- plating loss on cap band and clip, teeth marks on the back end, but it's a great writer and a perfect every day pen.

Today's pen is a blue stripe Pelikan M600 with fine nib inked up with Aurora Blue.

Alternating between a Noodlers Clear Flex F with Noodlers Black Swan and a black Esterbrook dollar with a 2550 nib and Noodlers Lexington Grey.

I've fallen down the Estie well....

Just resealed the nib section with some silicone grease and it's performing rather flawlessly. Perfect flow, smooth and a nice soft nb.

 

Filled with Iroshizuku ku-jaku

In Rotation: Parker DuoFold Centennial / Duofold / GvFC

In storage: Too many to name.

Two pens did all my work today:

- a Parker "51" Special, blue (not sure what name for the color though) with a medium nib full of PR Midnight Blues for taking notes in meeting today

- a Lamy Al-Star, silver, with newly transplanted 1.1mm italic nib, full of Noodler's Navy for making to do lists

      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
