Don't Just Tell Us About The Pen You're Using, *show* Us! - 2015-Ii

[pollandakuma]

@Jabberwock - thanks for the Fear and Loathing reference, one of the 10 greatest books I've ever read and the cause of the greatest mystery in my life.

After returning from Vietnam, I was travelling by greyhound bus to my next duty station in Fort Hood Texas from Huntsville, Ala. I was as clean cut as a soldier could get, but apparently the disguise wasn't fooling one guy, who took a good look at me and gave me Fear and Loathing, I never saw him again, but I've thanked him a thousand times. It's almost enough to hang out in bus stations. But not quite.

That man has excellent taste in books.

As is often the case I switch out depending on what I'm doing but earlier today I was sketching with my Murano glass dipping pen and Monteverde black ink.

I second Mehandiratta's question! As I mentioned, I recently tried out a sailor that had a nib that had been customized (trying to get more details on it) which wrote the smoothest I've ever felt a fountain pen.

 

How do you like yours?

This is already the second fill of the Faber-Castell 53 SF; it is a real ink addict! But it is also one of my best handling pens.

Happy New Year, Vaibhab!

 

Here's a poem by Bertolt Brecht, suitable for the date:

(TWSBI Vac 700, 1.1 stub, Pelikan 4001 Royal Blue, Rhodia Webbie, scanned)

 

I hope all the Kurrent enthusiasts will read it with ease. But a "normal" (and full) version won't hurt anyone, right?

 

Pleasures

 

First look from morning's window

The rediscovered book

Fascinated faces

Snow, the change of the seasons

The newspaper

The dog

Dialectics

Showering, swimming

Old music

Comfortable shoes

Comprehension

New music

Writing, planting

Traveling

Singing

Being friendly.

 

Have a great year, dear friends!

Thank you! Honey seems to be a really nice ink indeed! I also have a sample of the Cappuccino, what will hopefully shade just as nicely.

Thank you! The paper is Tomoe River.

 

Just bought 5 bottles and few samples ...

I'm yet to buy a full bottle, because I have a bunch of samples, but I might get a bottle of this Honey!
