Don't Just Tell Us About The Pen You're Using, *show* Us!

[Darksair]

After reading through this thread with all its fantastic pens and nibs, I'm kind of getting an inferiority complex! My Lamy Safaris seem very entry-level in comparison. I need to branch out in my pens I think! I just love brightly-colored pens, and a lot of the more traditional brands just seem ugly to me.

 

Oooo nice colors, both the inks and the pens :-)

I'll write with my Frankenstein esterbrooks in a bit

Yeah, what he (JohnMarra) said.

 

I really (read REALLY) like the performance of the Lamy pens, unfortunately I am left handed so the fit is a bit of a challange for me. I still love them, easy to use, easy to dissassemble and clean...and they work WONDERFULLY.

 

I bought my Alstar with a 1.5 spare nib, I then proceeded to grind it for a left hand oblique and as such it is one of my favorites, even though the grip is not LH friendly.

Someday I will try the LH version...if they stll make it.

I've never owned or used a lamy...may have to, but I'm left handed as well

No .. No.. The Ochre should be in the Orange one, and the Meadow in the Green one....

 

 

.... Sorry, that is my OCD talking... :embarrassed_smile:

What pen would you reccomend for an eight year old?

I don't rely too frequently, but try to read this daily. Love the pens and especially the handwriting.

Thank you Uncle Red for your guidance on my purchase. When i get it, i will post some pics and maybe you can educate me more on my acquisition. I am anxiously awaiting its arrival.

Well done Steve!

 

Like you, I've never had a problem being OCD (for example - get this - once I put green ink in a black pen!), but the color of ink in my Bexley Corona shown above is a little too indigo so I'm probably going to change to Diamine Misty Blue, a closer match to the barrel color. Just a thought. It hasn't been bugging me every single moment since I inked that pen. Not at all. I feel better just making mention of it. In fact, I may not even change the ink. At least, not immediately; maybe later today ...

 

On the other hand, Cyber6, with that outburst, well, she should probably get some help, don't you think? Way far gone. <<disconsolately shakes head>>

Awright people; you should know, OCD has been re-named. It is now CDO, so the letters will be in the right blasted order! :roflmho:

Stompie, the folks on your mailing list must RUN to their mailboxes to see if a letter has come from you!

 

Z, you and cyber6 could maybe get a group rate for some counseling. Not me, though, I'm fine.
