I'm using my new Asa Mist from the recent group buy.

It forms the third pen of a trio of similar pens from them: Genius, Swan, and now Mist.

Ink is FPR blue black.

I'm interested in you opinion, which of the three do you prefer?

Hard to say - my favorite pen varies with the hour, it seems. But right now, only the Mist is inked, having finished fills in the Swan and, more recently, the Genius. I like all three, and am most comfortable taking the Genius out of the house because it seems to me to be the most rugged of the three. The Swan, in white acrylic, seems somehow more fragile. Other than that, I can't really say. Moreover, the Mist is not a true duplicate of the other two, since the clip is different (I like the Genius/Swan clip better). But it is the only demonstrator of the three, so I can see the ink sloshing around, which is always fun. Happily, I don't have to choose. All three are on a penholder on my desktop. :)

Vintage Pilot India pen, unknown model. One of four I bought at the same and definitely the best writer of the bunch.

Ranga Sugarcane with (diluted) Blackstone Sydney Harbour Blue. An Indian pen filled with Australian ink - used in the Caribbean!

 

ETA: and the paper is sugarcane-based from Argentina. In a home-made slapped together notebook...

I finally put ink into the Mini Guider eyedropper capsule I got from a group buy last October. It writes well and is a cute little pen.

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

looks nice Hari, and wait: is that a Pelikan nib?! custom threaded? :)

Thanks. Yes. Thats a m200 nib unit. Section threaded for that. Stock WALITY nibs are too fine. I prefer B/BB points.

 

This is actually a new avatar of the 69T. Notice the plain cap band with WALITY imprint on it.

 

Best
