Thank you MalcolmH!!

This is the only pen I have with flex nib, but love it (partially because my dad gave it to me after using for long years since 1970's as journalist)

It's great, with one caveat. I like the line it draws - it's more like a Japanese Extra Fine rather than a European Extra fine. I find European Extra Fines are usually the same thing as European Fines... no difference, so I'm happy with this one.

 

However, the nib is very feedbacky... not scratchy, just a lot of feedback.

 

I believe Aurora's nibs known for giving feedback, and with it being an Extra Fine you can really feel it. I'm ok with feedback, but I might apply micromesh to dial it down a touch. I still want feedback, just not quite that much.

 

Pelikan M200 Cafe Creme Fine (Noodler's Army) for me today.

For me, so far it's been mix of old and new: the Midnight Blue 51 Aero I got at the Triangle Pen show last month (not sure if it's an F or an M nib), with Lamy Pacifica Blue ink. And I suspect later it will be the Parkette refitted with the very sweet music nib from a no-name lever filler I bought last year, with (now diluted) Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Black.

But I have pen club tonight, so I may end up inking up a whole lot more pens.... And I've been so good about trying to cut down on the stash of pens in rotation.... I think I've flushed out 6 or 7 in the past week or so, including the English made Navy Gray 51 (also from TPS) with the OB nib.
