I would agree

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

What a strange world we live in, where people communicate by text more than ever before, yet the art of proper handwriting is seen as a thing from the past.

Waterman Faucett (1970?) with Akkerman #28 Hoftwartier Green

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.

Sinistral, glad you asked ... It is an Estie on loan to me.

"Quit", "Quite", it's just one little letter. I also wish I had better lighting conditions for my crappy little smartphone camera pics. I'm too lazy to get out my real camera for these. Apologies. Believe it or not, the Estie is actually a copper J. It looks almost like a red one in my bad picture.

 

 

 

My Lamy. I got through most of it before the pen ran out of ink. I then refilled it with what I thought was the same ink. Guess not.

 

 

 

I just have fun printing with this pen too.

Maybe if you should start with just a nice blue-black and see if it's too much for your delicate sensibilities.

@Troy, that's a nice looking P51 set there! From time to time I have the urge to try one again.
The stub nibs are pretty rare to come by with these pens I guess. Great catch!

@Gaslight, the Grenade is a beautiful ink! Now that they are being sold out, its very hard to resist to get one.

Yes, of course I've misspelled the name of the ink.... its Tanna Japonensis

My Sailor Ishida Bungu Hakotake Gagome (brown algae) is made with brown algae - is your new ink made with green bug bits? It is a very cool green!

I don't know what is it made up of, but it would be very organic than. :D

 

Very pretty. I tried the 4B, you will love it.

Oh, I have high hopes for the 4B! It has sheen, the color seems to be nice too, and it has an awesome bottle. Its hard to ask for more :)
