I am using my 1946 Parker vacumatic Junior, and my current favorite, a Pilot Vanishing Point in Matte Black.

I am using my first official fountain pen, the blue and black Platinum Preppy pens I received yesterday from Goulet Pens :)

Last night, I topped up the Skyline (MB Royal Blue) and Doric (Zhivago). And I forgot to bring them :-) I do have my roll pouch in the bag. So I have an Onoto (with De Atramentis' Karl Marx (RED)) and a Waterman safety (with Pelikan 4001 Black).

All the best,

Rommel

I've got the Pilot Custom 98's, both the burgundy and the mustard with me today, and the Aurora Ipsilon w/ the hard-as-nails fine point that really is EF.

Lately I have been switching off between two, a slate grey Pilot VP with a fine nib and a Hero 1000, both with Dark Matter.

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

Safari (M) with PR Naples Blue. I guess my daily writing requirements have gone down near the end of this week...it won't end and I'm desperate to ink it up with another color already!

Inked up a 742FA (4001 Blue-Black). Together with the Skyline (MB Royal Blue) from last week.

The 743FA is a backup.

All the best,

      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
