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

I inked up my Parker Frontier with J Herbin Poussiere de Lune. It has not been used for some time and I was surprised when I realised that this is probably my best writer. The nib is perfectly smooth and the flow is just the way I like it, a bit on the wet side. The only minus is that the M nib is a bit to broad for my taste and probably the reason why it has not been used.

The Sheaffer is supposedly a "fifties" Ft. Madison pen, with a fine nib. I just received it, and inked it up, and I must say that it lives up to my hopes and expectations.

Really, really nice pen.

The Kensington Blue suits it great, and is part of package I ordered which also contained Diamine Asa Blue, Salamander, J Herbin Cafe des Iles, Visconti Blue and Iroshisuku Tsuki-Yo.

 

I should be able to keep myself busy the next week....

Tas that is a beautiful drawing, I really can not believe people can do that with a fountain and I am struggling to just write with one, I purchased some of that ink last night because I liked how black it was, have not received it yet, but I am looking forward to trying it out.

Cybaea could you please let me know what type of notepad you are using?

 

Thanks

 

That is the Rhodia No 8 notepad (7.4 cm x 21 cm)

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

Thanks, it's one of my favourite pens -- and all my Uncle Harry's fault. I bought ONE black J Estie because he used one,

lo these many years ago. And to quote Claude Rains: "Round up the usual suspects." You've got a nicely patterned one there yourself.

Lots of pens (for me), inked at the moment... and, for those curious, that's pork loin stuffed with figs, raisins, cashews and honey.

Very artistic!

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

Maybe it is clear to many users already, but would you mind telling at which pens we are looking?
