Wow, what ink?

The ink is Diamine Blue Velvet

For outside I'm currently using a Faber Castell Loom too. Ink is Diamine Claret. I also used the dreaded ballpoint for this quick afternoon sketch

Since I'm a restorer and seller, I only rarely buy an already restored pen to keep -- the vast majority of my collection are pens that I restored. But, I had wanted a really nice Matador for some time, and this is a beauty. The picture isn't great...taken on my office desk within minutes of opening the package. Thanks Christof !

Platinum 3776 dark briar. One of my favourites, with a gorgeously flared section and marvellously smooth tactile wood.

Went to argue property tax appraisal value on behalf of my parents, this was the first time I used a Fountain Pen during a meeting. TWSBI Eco (Fine), filled with Waterman Blue Serenity.

taxlord,

Did the Serenity ink help the appeal?

A lovely crisp italic, for a stub.

Tim,

 

Unfortunately the TWSBI was not enough to get the appraisal officer close to my position (I did get him to come down some however!) Next stop is to argue the case in front of a panel. I am hoping I can talk my parents into getting me a nice fountain pen if I have some success . I think it'll merit it, right?

Absolutely! Maybe you need a more aggressive ink for the next round.

Taking my new Bexley Prometheus for a test drive. Started a bit dry, but now it just runs fine.

Ink is Sailor souten.

Just received my Delta Journal today. What a beautiful writer! I ordered a Fusion Nib to replace the factory steel nib, but wow. What a solid performer this one is out of the box.

 

Just using a black cartridge that came with it, but will probably flush it out and put a nice blue-black in it when I get home.

As usual, Liz, writing to drool over!

Pen, ink, and handwriting – all just awesome.

 

I really love my Targas; those nibs are so wet and smooth to write with.

Which ink did you use?

 

Cheers,

David.

Thanks David, It's Sailor Yama Dori. The pen is a bit of a dry writer, but I think that helps the crispness of the line.

impressive, I use Bic pens at work everyday due to the oily atmosphere.

For a cheap pen they are great to use and are way better than some expensive pens

Rob1656, lovely Duragraph - I love that finish.

Using an ASA Bheeshma with an extra fine Sheaffer inlaid nib. I reviewed this recently -- one thing I didn't say is that this is the stiffest gold nib I've ever used. Maybe the geometry of the nib design. Lays down ink reliably, though.
