My crosspost from the other thread

 

Got bored of the ol' blackletter I was using so found one that seems very 1940s German Gothic to try out. I like it! It's a bit easier to write as well as it is mainly straight lines and natural angles so I can speed it up.

Paper is Rhodia, dotPad.

Nice looking pen.

 

Thank you...

The pen in use is Ranga Model 3C which I got from the Group Buy. The pen is fitted with JoWo 1.1 Dual tone nib and is inked with Diamine Eclipse.

I really love ebonite as the material for the pen and this white blue swirl is something amazing. You have to hold in the hand to actually see and feel the beauty of the material.

Rainy days typically call for my Metropolitan F-nib with a blue-black cartridge. Since I had to come in to work I carried my Retro 51 as well and will mostly be using my Metropolitan in Field Notes and the rollerball on all other paperwork.

A no-name metal IPG pen with a Diamine Majestic Blue cartridge. It has a perfect amount of tooth on good paper and works nicely enough on copier paper. ISTR it cost me GBP 1 at a charity shop, and only needed the ring at the open end of the barrel gluing in, which the same time secured the split in the barrel itself that caused the ring to come loose in the first place.

That really is such a beautiful pen -- and I LOVE the feel of ebonite. I didn't realize at first that blue or blue-marbled ebonite was an option.

OH, and your handwriting is really nice too. I love seeing your posts.

Jinhao X750 by Candlelight. Just a bit before daybreak we experienced a rough storm, which knocked out the power in our area. Lit up a couple of large candles to complete what I writing from the night before.

Very nice pen.

I love have one too but currently not available on FC website.

Platinum Century 3776 SF. Not as soft as I expected but then I have got a Pilot 912 FA and some vintage flex. Not entirely sure what I was expecting. I wouldn't describe it as soft but I am really enjoying it though.

Now that the feed leak has fixed itself I have refilled the Aurora 88P with Waterman publ. The fine nib writes at least as well as any other fine I have and the pen is easy and comfortable to use. The other pen in action is an Onoto 3000 with J Herbin Violette Pensee, one of my first, oldest, and nicest Onotos.

Today's pens:

1) Noodler's Medieval Lapis Konrad, flex nib, with diluted Diamine Oxford Blue (until it ran out).

2. Parker Vacumatic Red Shadow Wave, F (?) nib, with its usual diet of Waterman Mysterious Blue.

3. Parker Vector (the red one), F [3] nib, with Noodler's Midnight Blue.

4. Parker Vector (the NOS multicolor one which looks like a Mondrian painting), F nib, with Akkerman #10 Ijzer-Galnoten.
