The Shocking Blue has great sheen!

 

Here you go:

I think the sheen will come out more with the moss when it will run lower in the M600.

This shows it a bit better color vise:

(Waterman 14 BHR ..... Caran d´Ache Caribbean Sea)

 

To all which still know Caribbean Sea and wonder why it is so dark, it sits already quite a long time in this eyedropper with its huge capacity and it´s getting darker and become even a little bit of sheen.

May I - gauchely - comment on my own post?

 

Seeing this photo, I'm struck by how similar these two pens look: the overall shape, the proportions of the caps and sections, the mostly-hooded nibs. Yet they still seem to belong to different fountain-pen eras ...

 

Huh.

 

 

Interesting! Something to be said for Good Design!

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

Over the holidays I was playing with different papers, these little sketch pads from Hobby Lobby are extremly thin paper, but do not bleed through or feather.... great for a quick note... also picked up a ream (400 sheets) of Ology 20# copy paper, the sugar cane husk and bamboo variety and it too works great. I am making some tablets out of that... fpn_1388730128__random_thoughts.jpg

 

And, I took some time and cleaned a spot for my inked pens... and made use of that box all those christmas cards came in...as long as I keep the herd seven or less I am good...

You'll not regret it. I'm sketching all the time with the "Sepia Grey Black" and it writes a nice thank you letter too.

 

Most of my pens were bought used, vintage etc with a few exceptions like a couple of Pilots and TWSBIs.

 

I love holding a piece of history and wondering who or what has been written or drawn what with it.

 

The Visconti really was a Christmas indulgence and would never dream of normally spending that amount on pen - although now that I'm using the fella I find it's soooo addictive. I can now see where all the Pelikan, Mont Blanc etc fanatics get their buzz from . . .

First post in this section and I'm deeply embarrassed about my writing (I promise it's usually nicer). It was a spur of the moment thing. I'm going to post before I lose my nerve! :P

 

PotD: Hero 184 with 14k nib. I love (relatively) inexpensive Chinese pens... and I love bling.. and this pen is slim and pretty. I am -not- particularly happy with the writing experience. I'm going to twiddle around with the nib and maybe switch out the feed (I have 6 of these 184s with interchangeable bits.

 

Ink is Noodler's Walnut.
