My very best in recent memory has been a vintage full-flex Waterman Thorobred on the Rhodia pad. It's very wet, so dense paper is a must. With Herbin Vert Empire it looks amazing. I'd love to find a blue counterpart to Vert Empire...

I'm tolerant with paper (good copy paper or better is fine) but less with ink: I want it to flow constantly and generously (but not too generously). Perhaps this is why I'm sticking with Diamine and Akkerman inks for now. As for the pen, it has to match the ink in terms of flow (obviously) and sit comfortably in my hand. In the past weeks this role has been assumed by a couple of Omas 360.

For me lately it is Italix fine cursive italic nib with Tomoe river papers, when I use them together, I called it "Writing Orgasm". I hope this is not too inappropriate haha.

 

Do any of you have similar feelings?

Your comment reminds me of something I heard from a professional calligrapher friend of mine: "If you'd ever written on a finely prepared piece of vellum with a well-cut quill, you would understand how medieval monks could have remained celibate."

Decent Japanese pens with F nib on coated/vellum paper.

 

By decent I mean pens designed to write well (not to be the cheapest possible or to appeal to rich collectors with poor taste).

Pilot Custom Heritage 92, Diamine Majestic Blue or Pelikan Edelstein Topaz and Tomoe River Paper - bliss!
