great question: like Confuscious says " man who use fountain pen get inky finger" yes we all have this day in and day out; my question is how do FP users clean up their fingers. ????

J. Herbin 1670 Emerald De Chivor: the ink arrived and I was so excited when I filled the pen I wiped the section with my fingers! I don't care, the ink is beautiful.

Noodler's Gruene Cactus Eel. It's a sample vial and the pen didn't want to fill. I guess I need to get some syringes.

Scary-looking Diamine Imperial Purple bruises on my knuckles, looks like I've been in a fight! I think it's a good look for me. Thank you burping Airmail eyedropper!

[Portamenti]

Diamine Imperial Majestic Blue. Trying to get some sheen on the go today.

 

*edit: I had the name wrong. There are a lot of impressively titled blues from Diamine.

Today it was Iroshihzuku Yama-budo. A LOT of Yama-budo. I was flushing out a Parker 45 that wasn't behaving well and there was Yama-budo everywhere -- including what looked as if it were possibly leaking out of the squeeze converter where the metal sleeves meets the black part that attaches to the feed.

This pen is definitely now going to DCSS to have someone more experienced take a look see at it -- I ended pulling a piece out of the section that may be part of the feed assembly....

Diamine Sargasso Sea and Iro Murasaki Shikibu. Had to ink up my new pens from the DC Pen Show - and they are awesome!

[om_nom_nomigon]

J. Herbin olive green: apparently I didn't push the convertor back in when I filled it at the weekend, so the ink went everywhere when I unscrewed my pen at work today.
