I was doing inventory today at work. I started with my medium nib brown pilot Prera full of Bad Belted Kingfisher, but is was drying up on me so I switched to my blue Fine nib Parker 21 MKII full of Pelikan blue-black.

In the office, I'm using a Visconti Rembrandt with Noodlers Zhivago and a Pilot VP with Levenger Cobalt Blue.

 

At home, my Monteverde Prima is loaded with Diamine Maroon and my Rosetta Magellan is filled with Private Reserve Burgundy Mist.

Namiki Bamboo black with rose gold clip, rhodium plated 14k extra fine nib (filled with Pilot Iroshizuku Asa Gao ink)

vintage Platinum 3776 ribbed (black) 14k extra fine nib (recently adjusted by me for better ink flow - now about a 6-7 out of 10 wetness) filled with Noodler's Legal Lapis ink

I'm pretty excited about the Platinum, it was a pen that I was considering putting up on the marketplace because the low flow was driving me crazy. However, now I'm loving it! A simple nib floss to spread the tines a tiny bit, a slight increase in the space between the feed and nib. Now I have writing bliss.

Received yesterday and in use this morning: two Lamy Safaris, one medium and one fine. Nice feel when writing with these, but they're not at all attractive to my eyes. Also very light, utterly useless if I need to club an intruder to death... :yikes:

 

Also a Monteverde Invincia, a heftier weapon, loaded with Diamine Teal ink.

      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
