Using one of my favorite pens for everyday office and school work, my trusty Xezo Freelancer 500. A bit heavy, but it writes like a dream come true. Also trying out a gorgeous, sublime new ink, De Atramentis Bordeaux Red. I'll be grading midterm exams with this later today...

That's a beautiful pen... and don't you love those Wine inks. WOW

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

Never mind the "sock" - we want to see more of Charlie . . . :)

 

Agreed :)

I know Sinistral1 is a little quirky, petting her gold fish, but you two scare me. :) I keep thinking of the fish from Cat in the Hat being petted by a fox in a sock sitting on a box. Now I scare me.

First full day of using these 3 pens together. The blue one just arrived in the mail yesterday. The smoke black is inked with Iroshizuku Take-Sumi. The blue is inked with Iroshizuku Kon-Peki. And the orange is inked with Diamine Oxblood. I use all 3 of these when I'm journaling. It's fun to write with different color inks.

Nice ink pen combos. How do they write?

They write amazingly well. The FM nibs are incredibly smooth and shade very we even with my small writing. The F nib gives me a finer line that prefer with black ink. It has a hint of feedback but still very smooth. I've been satisfied with all my Pilot nibs so far. I also have a Stargazer in F. The Stargazer is actually the reason I decided to get more Pilot pens.

While I wait on my new Pilot Celemo (fine) and gold-trimmed Namiki Falcon (soft broad), I thought I'd collect my gold-nib'd Pilot pens.

The 912's FA nib still induces involuntary drooling every time I use it. People love to whine and fight over the Falcons' nibs' classifications (to call it flex, or to call it semi/maxi/soft/maybe/butnotreally/squichy (looking at you, BoBo)…), but the Heritage's FA nib is as flexible straight out of the box, comparing favorably to many of my early Watermans.

I received a Parker 51 Special yesterday. Today I used it for the first time. It felt great. Nib is very smooth and worked perfectly right out of the box. Pen arrived in very good condition. (Bought it off of the classifieds here on fpn)

Conclusion: Way stoked right now.

Paler colors? I didn't expect that.

Tks Amber... My old and myopic eyes, have no credit to find these beauties... There's a kind of tune between the pens and the heart... I never choose a pen... THE PEN CHOOSE ME!!!

Look at my horse, my horse is amazing!!!
