Oh, no.... he may have to join you. He just got in more trouble as I was responding to various emails. BTW, what ink? That's wonderful. Wait, it must be red dragon.

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

Amberlea: Dia 2 takes a full sized international converter. It sits steadily in the pen.

 

Which Kaweco do you have that don't take that converter? I have a couple of Sport that only take little squeeze converter ant they do not work so good.

Coop, in college I used a handful of inks .. Skrip Peacock, Red, and Green, and Montblanc Black and Burgundy. I had a few pelikan bottles and a Skrip Blue none of which I used. That usage didn't change much for years because I didn't use my pens much. Then after law school, I started buying inks and pens. The collection grows and I don't own enough pens to use all my inks at the same time.

 

Meanwhile, I can say that having purchased a lot of cheap pens, I would say that the best choice would be some of the old sheaffer school pens with cartridges and filling the cartridges with a syringe.

 

Here was the ink collection in September of 2012

and again in March of this year 18 months later.

Yep, it was the Sport. I hated that squeeze converter. Nasty.

Wow... Looks like it's almost time to start ditching the books...

 

 

You can fit at least 8 bottles of Diamine in the space that SQL book is occupying...

... Never underestimate the power of human stupidity ...

Don't get rid of that Anne McCaffrey book - she's passed, and it might be a collector's item now.

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

Oh wow! I love her Dragon Riders of Pern books, second only to JRR Tolkien's hobbits and company.

@ Coop... Nice pen and really elegant handwriting... I would really like to use stub nib but unfortunately for two reasons I cannot... 1. No funds >.< and 2. No decent pens with stub nibs

What size are the TWSBI nibs? A 580 stub is on my list.

 

I stubbed them myself! 2500 grit (automotive buffing paper) & 300,000 grain (fibreglass buffing paper) work wonders on a medium nib.

 

As for the brush pen, it's a Kuretake No. 13 with a cartridge converter and Noodler's Yellow for highlighting.
