a Namiki/Pilot black lacquer Vanishing Point 18K white gold medium nib with Noodler's Cactus Fruit burgundy ink

I'm writing daily in a Italian Scrittura journal (volume IX), rotating all seven inks, beginning the first paragraph with the Waterman blue and finishing with the HOD black

I create a calligraphic header each day using Pilot Parallel calligraphy pens (1.5/2.4 mm nibs) with red and black Pilot inks with either Textus Quadratus or Celtic Roman fonts

Scheaffer Fashion full of Diamine deep dark purple. (I'd bought this off ebay thinking - after only seeing one picture of it with the cap on- that it was a slimline Targa, but it's probably a better pen, inlaid nib or not. Also, the only broad Sheaffer I have anymore.)

 

Parker 51, a fine nib (I think) late '40s early '50s model full of more of that Diamine stuff.

 

Shule 2212, again, Diamine-d up.

Thanks for that tip! I'm going to do that tonight, with a Lamy Logo 1.5 stub and Diamine Regency Blue. Let's see if I can keep it up for a couple of days.

Today I busted out the Namiki Bamboo Rhodium... I have the Original Namike Broad nib and converter safely stored, and am using the JDM Pilot Medium Nib with Pilot Royal Blue Ink. Sexy pen and writes like a dream!

This weeks daily writers are a blue Pilot CH92, medium fine nib inked with Diamine Kensington Blue, a black Pilot 74, soft fine nib, inked with Pelikan 4001 red and a Kiagelu 316 filled with Diamine Autumn Oak.

 

The Kiagelu came with a medium nib but I have managed to bring this down to what I'd say is now a fine medium which I find more comfortable to use.

Working on my cursive italic handwriting project, these are my tools for today: Visconti Homo Sapiens (1.3 mm stub), Pelikan M800 Burnt Orange (1.0 mm formal italic), Parker Duofold "100 year Akkerman edition" (italic broad) and Delta Fusion 82 (stub, minus the gold bit which fell off (and that didn't affect the performance of the nib one bit (I think; but perhaps I wouldn't notice that since I don't work in Marketing))).

 

All outstanding pens in a beautiful photo. Have you thought about trying an Osmiroid pen for your cursive italic practice. A really cheap pen compared to your photographed fleet but I find the nibs to give stunning results.
