What Pens Are You Using Today 2

[Occipital Lobe]

TWSBI 580 medium with R&K Blu Mare

[inkstainedruth]

Today it's been:

Pilot Metropolitan, M nib, with diluted (I think) Diamine Classic Red -- which is rapidly becoming my favorite "true" red (even beating out Akkerman #19 Rood Haags Pluche).

Noodler's Charlie eyedropper, flex nib with Noodler's Heart of Darkness. Still trying to make up my mind about both pen and ink....

Whata bout a Jinhao x750 ? Great, cheap, good, eye catcher ......

I just bought one of these.

The red lava version, and all for the princely sum of £1.99 inc shipping.

For £1.99 ($3) it's got to be worth a punt.

Is the center a Bexley Poseidon 2 Magnum? I want one of those so badly. Do you like it? How does it compare to the MB? Is that a 146?

It is indeed. I just got it in, and I love it! It screams quality, IMHO. It feels very well made, has some heft to it, and the fit/finish are fantastic. I would not hesitate to buy another one. Mine came with an M steel nib, which I promptly pulled out and replaced with a Goulet 1.1 stub. Not that the stock nib was bad; I just wanted a nice pen that will accept unique nibs.

 

I believe that one is a 146. Truthfully, I think the Bexley "feels" more solid and refined than the 146. There is definitely some craftsmanship that went into the Bexley. The 146 is slimmer overall, lighter, and the section is just the slightest bit thinner than the Bexley.

Thanks for the reply. I'm currently trying to snag a great deal on a Poseidon Magnum 2 via auction, so this is was very encouraging. I'm trying for a blue one with that same striated pattern to the acrylic.

At the such a price, having the whole collection of X750 is cheaper than buying just one standard pen ....
