Lamy Studio (Imperial Blue, EF nib) inked with Waterman Serenity Blue.......my #1 "go-to' FP for cursive writing practice....

Neck-and-neck is a Pilot Elite E95s (Ruby Red/Silver, EF nib) with Sailor Nano Ultra Black ink....

When I use these fine instruments, I can't help but think of the "Marine Prayer" - modified a bit:

"This is MY fountain pen......there are many like it, but this one is MINE......"!! ;)

These are my 2 favorite FPs....even though there are several more in my "stable" that are fancier and more costly.....

Proving (once again....) that more $$ does NOT always equal more QUALITY....

 

Always try to get the dibs......on fountain pens with EF nibs!!

Today I'll be using the Sheaffer Taranis. I really need to use up the standard black cartridge. I guess I already have too many pens (9) and don't write as much as I should.

Emptied my TWSBIs for a new color line up. Finished the ink in the feeds jotting notes all day:

• TWSBI Diamond 580AL blue with Butter Line Stub~Italic F nib using Waterman Mysterious Blue

• TWSBI Diamond 580AL purple with Butter Line Stub~Italic M nib using Iroshizuku Kon-peki

• TWSBI Diamond 580AL lumi with Butter Line Stub~Italic B nib using Rohrer & Klinger Scabiosa

• Gate City New Postal Reservoir with Linda Kennedy DailyItalic Gigantic nib using Pelikan 4001 Königsblau

 

Just finishing the ink in the feeds of these pens was more than a couple pages for each pen.

Very pretty.

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

I've scribbled with three of the pens I have inked up so far today: a Sheaffer Agiao (I think it's the compact model, though I'm not sure of that), a Cross Century II and a Waterman Expert II. Diamine deep purple in the cross and the waterman, the blue/black (much bluer than black) cartridge it came with in the Sheaffer.

TWSBI Mini in rose gold with XF P. Brown nib, with Asaphire Blue (Diamine Asa and Diamine Sapphire mixture). This is my EDC pen for months now. Haven't gotten tired of it yet. Doubt I ever will. It's seriously put a damper on buying new fountain pens.

 

Dip Pens:

Eagle E840 "Modern Writer" semi-flex nib

Esterbrook #314 "Relief" stub nib
