Sorry for the blurred out text but that was my diary Anyway I got my clear Platinum Cool (medium nib) yesterday (super fast delivery from Cultpens so they get a shoutout! Ordered Tuesday and they had it delivered in Finland by Friday for the weekend). I put a converter on it and filled it with some Platinum Silky Purple ink and started writing Soooooooo much nicer than the 5 EUR Dollar demonstrator I got the day before. I am so in love with this Platinum Cool I don't even know. I want to keep writing and writing because it's just so wonderful and effortless to write with. I went hiking today and I had to take it with me so I could stop and write down thoughts It was shiiiiny and the purple ink looked so pretty in the fall sun light. Fountain pens... who knew! Well, obviously you guys

 

Anyway, that is my Platinum Cool on a hiking trip with me. I need to get a nice cloth pouch for it though so it won't get scratched...

That's because I'm waking around Freehold Mall right now with the Mrs. The best I can do is show you the pen I'm carrying...

How do you guys post? Using the "attach files" button? Such a strange mix of the old and the new... handwriting messages and then posting them electronically to the web!!

[Callique]

Oh, and I love the pattern on your pen Tringle... as well as the colour of your ink.

 

Just had a quick look on Ebay and there are some Waterman 52s on there - but do they all have flex nibs? What should I be looking out for please?

Went ahead and jumped on the Noodler's Ahab bandwagon.

mhphoto, that cat picture captures a moment better than almost anything I can remember seeing. Beautiful orange pens, too!

 

Dillo, I saw your pens this morning and have been thinking about them all day. Great pens!

 

 

Thanks! The Marathon looks nice. I can't really use oversized pens that comfortably most of the time, so I usually stick to smaller pens.

 

Anyway, this is what I'm using today. It has Diamine soft mint. I decorated the converter a long time ago since I the converter has such a wide chrome band, and I also wanted to make it more unique since the Pilot Custom 74 is a fairly common pen.

This pen has a really nice fine Pilot nib. It takes about a week and a half before I have to refill it usually.

 

I really like Japanese pocket pens though.

They all have fine nibs, and I usually refill them once a week or every five days for the Sailor if I use it a lot.

Okay, another newbie having a go here. Starting on the bottom rung of the pen ladder here - the only way is up!

[LWJ2]

I forgot to say I'm using Noodler's Bad Black Moccasin - however, the page image is somewhat over-exposed, the ink itself is very black. I'll have to switch flashes and use a lower output.

 

Several folks asked about posting photos, I use the "More Reply Options" then under "Attach Files" I click on "Choose Files" and select the images I wish to post. Return down a couple of lines, then select "Add to Post" for each photo. You have to put a couple of returns betwixt each photo and add each one.

Tringle, the Pilot Myu-90 is an excellent pen. It's one of my favorite nibs. It has just perfect flow, and a very nice feel. I think it's also much better built than the Parker Falcon 50, another pen with an integrated nib. The Pilot integrated nibs are all excellent to use and very well-made. They are very durable and reliable pens.
