I'll be packing a 1990s 149 fine nib filled with MB blue black, an unsaturated slate blue with nice shading that has a beautiful vintage/weathered look. Probably my favorite ink of all time. My back up is a 1980s 146R medium nib filled with Pelikan blue black, a pretty nice shade of blue too, though darker. They'll be carried in my new old stock Diaries and Notes tan 2 pen case.

I just flushed the Louis I was using for the past 2 days. My writing session will start later today, so I have nothing inked yet. Not sure if it will be a MB at all.

I am at home today so will be using my Greta Garbo - I'm want to plan next week and get my to-dos sorted. It has MB Violet ink which is my 'winter' colour. I'm looking forward to spring when I will change over to some sort of Turquoise.

My pens: MB Greta Garbo; MB 149; MB Mozart; Lamy Safari; Lamy Al-Star; Lamy Joy

I've been using my Faulkner a lot recently. WOW! What an awesome pen! I'm so glad I own this guy! The more I use it the more it's grown on me. I feel like this pen kind of flies under the radar of the other MB WE. Maybe that's why it's so appealing to me. I love the simplicity of it. I highly recommend it!!!!!!!

OT: Jeen, does the Diaries and Notes 2-Pen case have a divider so the pens don't rub against each other?

 

Back on-topic... I'll be using my beloved 146 today.

Hi Jager,

Yes, there is a divider, so you don't have to clip them in.

 

Best,

My MB204 Desk Pen and a self-repaired 149 with an OF nib. I'm still trying to get the hang of the OF nib.

Hard times don't last, but hard people do.

 

Thank a Veteran.

An OF? A factory nib or modification?

Factory. I got it on eBay. It's got a definite sweet spot, and it you 'lean' to far on way or the other it scratches.

Im using my 146p with DC Supershow. Came back Friday from the MB store with a new fine nib and that thing was smoother than the medium it came with, which was smooth in its own right. No skipping, no creep, and best of all, I can leave it uncapped and though the first letter may be half-formed, it will write beautifully on the restart

Glad things turned out well!

Do you find the line width finer now?

An early 1950s 146 with a semi-flex medium nib inked with Waterman's Florida Blue. This pen is in my permanent rotation because of its fantastic nib and warm celluloid material.

Yes, the width of the line is perfect. It still allows shading, moreso it seems on the bottom half of the characters, but still is fine enough to allow formation of 'e' and other similar letters when I write small, but not too fine as to be toothy or without character.

      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
