@thott, that OBB is amazing. I'm a sucker for any Oblique nib, much less a BB. :)

 

I'll post some samples later tonight once the kids are in bed. We've been enjoying winter here in Dallas, but nothing like dcpritch's - that is wild!

 

@tringle, love that red ripple. I need to find one of those one day. :)

 

@tatrin, that is a lovely Expert. I had an 'urban' edition of the Expert and it never quite suited me. Yours, however, is very nice.

Oh wow! No chance I could catch up (ketchup....lol) with you guys here!

The sheen of the Penman Emerald was a real surprise for me. It is a bit more reddish than shown in this pic though.

My colors look a little flat on the scanner. The paper is a Rhodia A4. I use it for work a lot, and despite the ease with which ink goes down on it I am sometimes disappointed with its performance. I still like the feel of it.

Gorgeous. . . :wub:

 

I was this close to nipping in to Harrods and seeing if they had one to actually touch and play with again.

Thankfully work got in the way.

 

My last car cost me £500! How could I spend nearly the same on a pen and then try to explain my action to friends & family happily using Argos pens ? :mellow:

 

Keep the pics coming.

Tas -- go buy a few junkers at a jumble sale. Then you can tell people you bought some pens at a jumble and not lie. :D

Easy, car is just a means of transport, (unless it's a specialty car such as a Ferrari, in which case, nice score!) But a pen, that's art, that makes art.....

LWJ2 - I’m liking your style.



79spitfire - Sooo true. It may well be your “But a pen, that’s art, that makes art” comment that breaks this camel’s back.



Tringle - LOVING the lines that you and your Commando and Waterman's Serenity Blue are making. So expressive.


Shame about the exchange rate. Hope you managed to buy something online upon your return.

I finally got a sheaffer valiant and I wanted to try out swapping the medium nib with an S5 nib that I have been holding onto for a while. Tried it today. Works great. My handwriting is pretty bad at 2am.

 

I thought showing what a snorkel stub looks like compared to a medium would give you an idea of what it looks like in person.

 

ps: Am I the only one jealous of DCPRITCH's snow?
