Don't Just Tell Us About The Pen You're Using *show* Us!, 2017

Hello everyone, its raining here in Northern Minnesota and it should be snowing; no one knows quite what to do.

Aww, dcpritch, stunning photos. And I love your expressive handwriting.

My work pen, having survived being flung across the room and landing with the nib impaled into the flooring.

What a pretty pink!

 

I recently got a sample of Noodler's Red Black and am quite pleased with it. It's a very dark red that, to my eye, still looks red, rather than brown. Waterproof, too.

Crummy picture, because one of my darling family members snatched the charger of my half-decent camera, so I had to resort to... well, whatever you want to call this one.

 

Got that pen a few days ago and oh man, it's pretty great. Still not sure about the model, though - whatever I do, there's always one thing that doesn't quite add up. At this point, I'm wondering if it's actually a Frankenpen with a mismatched cap or something like that.

The Lamy is just about empty so I'm looking forward to trying the Noodler's samples... I think I will just dip them so my impatience doesn't get the best of me!

Waterman absolute brown is my new favorite ink. I love how it shades even with an EF nib like this. And yeah, I misspelled 'Sheaffer'.Oops.

Nice set. Beautiful pen and ink

Wow! I'm impressed. Did transformation from pen to rolleerball was complicated? Or you just transplant roller's section to pen, and it works??

Pretty easy, it's a threaded rollerball section. Temporary I'm using some duct tape to fill some gaps, but one of these days I'm going to look for some O-rings to replace duct-tape. It's a fine/medium tip and never dry.

Duct tape the simplest solutions are the best

 

Bexley - this model is from 2001, bought new, so 15 years lay and waited. It seems to me a little dry, and has a problem with the start without pressure. I suppose, I have to write it a little more or it need a decent bath. Hope one of this will help.... But the nib is flexible, which I like.

Been away from the thread just for a couple of days - and it was enough to miss a lot.

Just went out of my comfort zone recently and acquired this Parker Duofold Centennial.
I used it here to sketch the pattern on the tapestry. View on the picture under a different angle in the Artwork thread.
https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/15494-fpns-pen-art-gallery/?p=3771058
Oh, and btw. I got the pen directly from amazon where it was 50% off - probably clearance for the new models.

Another lovely sketch. Keep up the good work! Your new acquisition is quite a looker, congrats!

 

Eli, that pen, ink and your hand are a very nice mix.

Thank you!

Come rain or come shine, that's a fantastic Bluebird! And you make it write so well.

 

Another Bluebird! Love the nib. And your handwriting.

I use Asa Blue for a year and a half, but never tried it with an extra-fine nib. Looks like a very nice light blue. And your Italic hand is something to envy.

Stunning. Just stunning.

Another Sheaffer! Aren't they awesome? And this Waterman Brun Absolu is so easy to fall in love with.

With this capacious piston filler, you'll get a number of Majestic Blue versions: in about a week after filling, it gets darker, gains a lot purple hue, and starts to produce an incredible red sheen. Beware!

Thank you Eli, I miss the member who was posting animal sketches done with a parker Sonnet here.

 

And yes, I like the understated but elegant looking Duofold very much.
