So I've already posted twice this week, but I actually got THREE new pens this week. Sorry for the Instagram-type pic but this is the best way to show all of them. I absolutely love my Decimo but it's unbelievable to me just how broad the M nib is. Has anyone else experienced the same feelings? I was so afraid that the M nib would be too fine (I usually enjoy Western M nibs) but it is actually too broad! Hopefully changing inks will fix that.

 

Also, just received my dream ink in the mail. Noodler's Navajo Turquoise!!

In this case, it is the lovely new ink rather than the pen that is the main attraction. First impressions: love it!

Have a terrible cold but will try to do a review later.

I am no longer very active on FPN but feel free to message me. Or send me a postal letter!

Nib -- it was dropped, I've straightened it, needs a bit more work

Barrel stamp -- a bit uneven, the chasing is well-worn. Most of the oxidation was removed with Bartender's Friend (similar to Bon-Ami)

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

If you think everything is going well... you obviously have no idea what is really going on!

Not much to say, but many pens to say it with.

LWJ2, I like your Waterman's but I'm thinking the Conklin nib you have is cracked and not long for this world. I hope it lasts a while, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

 

Ivan, what's the deal?! Are you defecting to fine point nibs? I have a wide nib that'll fit your Kaweco, if that's what you need:

Prvt. Toter, I love looking at your sketches and doodles. What fun you must have!

 

Here are a couple of the ten pens I have inked today:
