Top to bottom...

Visconti Homo Sapiens...Visconti Black

Sheaffer PFM III

Conway Stewart 58

Parker Vacumatic...last three with Diamine Blue Velvet.

 

While in the middle of this post, there was a knock at the door. Postie was there with a package from BBP, containing a Black CS 58, with a broad CS nib. Calls for a broad grin...

 

Black is not boring...black is beautiful.

Sheaffer Targa 1001 with a factory stub, inked with Sailor Souten. Fun-tas-tic!

I was using an Onoto 3050 and a Waterman Man 100 but they both ran out within a page. Now I have left only one pen inked, a Pelikan M800. I think the new inks are at the Post Office now. I have Auroras and a Magna champing at their feeds.

Currently using my most recent pens, a Twsbi Lime Eco EF nib and Black/White Pilot Vanishing Point M nib. The pens are inked with Noodler's Polar Green and Pelikan Bronze respectively. The VP was a christmas gift and I absolutely love it.

ASA Popsicle with 1.1 stub. Inked with Chesterfield Antique Crimson.

Hero 616 Jumbo - inked with Sheaffer Skrip Green

"The Mighty Roo" 316 - inked with Iroshizuku Kon Peki

The Aurora inks were forgotten from the order* so I filled the modern 88 with Visconti Blue, and the Onoto Magna with Visconti Turquoise. The pens are quite similar in proportion and style, and in their beautiful big nibs.

 

* ETA: this was inadvertent by the seller amid other order changes. After I contacted them they shipped today.

To break the boredom of grading a huge stack of papers (hey, i am desperate), i rotated through a bunch of pens including:

 

Stipula Passport with a stub nib

Sheaffer Prelude medium nib

TWSBI Vac Mini

Karas Kustoms Ink fine nib

two Sheaffer Imperial IIIs (one with Baystate Blue ink and one with Polar Brown ink)

 

When i went to pick up the pizzas for dinner, i signed the credit slip with my copper Karas Kustoms Ink. The clerk was impressed by the pen.

Aurora Optima Blue Auroloide Fine

Low Medium Medium_high by value, a sheaffer vfm, a cross dubai and a gvfc guilloche.

Continuing with the Aurora 88 with Visconti Blue, a brilliant combination, alongside a Waterman 0552 with Waterman Brown. I think this 0552 would be better off with a wet blue or blue-black ink.
