Rediscovered a Cross Townsend Tango (XF) on the weekend that I forgot I had. Just filled it with Diamine Sapphire Blue for a quick scribble.

All vintage for me today, and mostly from the 1920s.

 

I wrote in my journal this morning with my c. 1927 Sheaffer Flat Top, filled with Hero Blue.

 

Wrote a letter to my son using a 1950s Geha Schulfuller, filled with a Pelikan Turquoise/Private Reserve Sherwood Green mix.

 

The rest of the day's writing was done with two Parker Duofold Jr. pens. I resacced a c. 1926 model, and filled it with Waterman Florida Blue. I also did some work with its c. 1928 sibling, filled with Waterman Blue Black.

 

Interesting that both the Sheaffer and Geha are solid black pens, and the two Duofolds are cardinal red. I did not consciously select them that way, I just like the way they write!

I have been carrying the same three FPs all week: a MB Noblesse, a Lamy 2000, and a Lamy Studio. Each one holds a different type of blue ink. I will switch it up and use others next week. :)

      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
