Don't Just Tell Us About The Pen You're Using, *show* Us! - 2016

Eli it looks amazing! So many beautiful things in one photo!

Do you mean the Sidecar - or my idle doodling? Thank you!

 

Beautiful! I really like this ink too!

As far as I remember, I ordered it under impression of your writing. The ink is fantastic. And now you make Caroube de Chypre shine like that crazy diamond (remember Pink Floyd?).

 

Today, a couple of shots of my Rose Glow Balance, inked with Diamine / Cult Pens Deep Dark Orange:

Beautiful pen! Your writing brings out the writing performance of the Sheaffer nibs so well. The material is among my all-time favorites.

There is a superficial resemblance

Do you have a preference for either?

Here is a Bexley piston-filler with a factory stub/italic nib. Unfortunately, these awesome 18k nibs are gone from the Bexley catalog, but they are such great nibs.

In rotation today is Pilot 78G – B Stub Nib inked with Lamy Turquoise Ink. This ink is my all time favourite Turquoise ink and it was also my first turquoise ink.

Pilot Stubs are more like Cursive Italics and have amazing line variation.

I prefer the Montblanc over the Jinhao for most circumstances - but not by much. The Jinhao has such a smooth nib - it really is a wonderful pen.

@masterguns, is that a homemade pen holder? Pretty neat one!

 

 

If you are wondering about size, this is a Massag 521 dipped in Moon Palace Sumi ink and the paper is a Rhodia lined pad with lines 7 mm apart, thus:

 

 

A point of interest (heh!): It is possible to write this small using the Masuyama medium italic grind on a standard Jowo #6 nib.

@EOC: yes, I made it myself. Thank you for the compliment.

Currently I'm at 3 parkers.

The 25 mb, I found today for 30,- swiss Franks at a "Brockenstube" aka Brocki or Broquante.

I think the price is ok. He had a few more, I was interested in, but they weren't that cheap and I went for the 25 mb for my Parker collection.

J.Herbin 1670 Caroube de Chypre, coming next week!

[Pilot Parallel 2.4mm - Taroko notebook with Tomoe River]

 

Very interesting color qualities, as well as the history of Herbin's fondness for dried carob pods. The color stirred up my taste for a glass of chocolate milk with some sprinkles floating on top! I understand that there are some real concerns for using this in our FPs. though I am tempted to preorder. Around the price of some of the Iro inks ($24-25)
