Don't Just Tell Us About The Pen You're Using, *show* Us!

[akustyk]

I have finally bought the pen I've been wanting for a long time, the Omas Paragon, old-style, in black and gold. Out-of-the-box, it is wonderful:

What a beauty! I've been eyeing this brand for a while. Good to hear your praise for the pen.

I couldn't leave out my LAMY Vistas.

Once again, on Rhodia.

 

This is quite a set! Makes me wanna get a stub. Awesome.

A few repeats, but a couple new ones. Sorry for the cruddy pic...work camera.

I love your Snorkel and P51 samples. I've not had good luck buying those used. Maybe some day...

The 'old style' Paragons are indeed beautiful! The black and gold is so dignified too!

I have collected nearly all the colours in this model, but don't have the black.

Kudos!!!

Prvt. Toter - I love your Rhodia / Kaweco notepad. I've been looking for something like that for a while.

 

I try to keep the number of good pens to ten, as otherwise, this would easily get out of hand, but I do have four Lamy knock-about pens that are particularly good on poor-quality paper, for addressing envelopes, etc. They almost never feather or bleed, yet are very smooth and a pleasure to use. Here they are:

Dip pens!

Hi esterbex, it's great to see you on this thread. Will you show us your pens and ink?

 

... otherwise, this would easily get out of hand ...

 

Clearly you are a master of understatement. :clap1:

 

Dip pens!

 

Those are pretty, can you show us what you do with them?

I finally found a good match for my pilot 78G B, noodler's blue-black, I can't imagine why it's so much better behaved in there than the grey or eel blue. It's perfect for my brewing store shopping list.

eta: I see I haven't quite transitioned into the new year....the date should read "2013"

For the minimal cost of these great pens and nibs, you can't go wrong. In fact I saved so much by choosing Vistas, that I sent them to the states for further smoothing and tuning and was still way in front.

The only downside was being without them for a month!

 

Best regards,

Steve.

Hi EsterBex! MB Je t'aime may give you similar colour and shading to the Christmas ink so beautifully shown earlier!
