No longer waiting, items arrived Saturday. I am hoping to start using later today and will break out good camera to take better photos. I need the primary notebook to work on my horrendous penmanship. Both Pilot metropolitan pens, black medium nib, silver fine nib.

Currently waiting for a Kaweco Sport Ice in orange. Planning to eye dropper it and for it to be my EDC in college. Of course in a back pack incase it leaks.

Just put in for a Taccia Timeless in black. Had my eye on this pen for many months and pulled the trigger on a fair deal. Freakin massdrop will be the end of me I swear!

In a zip-lock in a back pack ... you don't want ink all over everything in the back pack if it does leak.

So when do we start the 2018 versions of this thread, along with "What pens are you using today?" and "Show us the pens you're using today!" threads?

Kaweco Liliput in Fire blue with a double broad nib. This one is going to be interesting!

1960 Montblanc 149 BB nib!

Converter for my Shaeffer No Nonsense, so I can, you know, actually use it.

 

C, who's apparently not good with fine print

[Heldin]

Parker 65, one of those Penbbs pens, TWSBI 580 AL Rose, and the Sheaffer Taranis mentioned here before... Don't know why that isn't here yet.

Woo hoo! Where did you find that beauty?

 

Congrats and use it in good health!

OOOH....

Of course a pen that small with a nib that broad means you'll be going through ink like crazy -- and refilling a lot....

First pen purchase of 2018 is a Pilot Metro in a fine nib(I always try to keep at least one in my collection because they are my favorites), plus some washi tape & a notebook(Campus)

"Campus" as in the Kokuyo Campus perhaps? Could you report back about the quality of the paper if you remember? I've been wanting to try it out myself.

Ordered two Pilot Pluminix with F and B nibs. Pink and yellow for the body colors.

At that price. . . could not resist.

I also ordered a bunch of sample packs from Goulet.

Maybe I should take up drinking instead . . .

Went a little bananas today, on the first let alone both. I hemmed and hawed over the Pelikan M805 Ocean Swirl for 24 hours, a fair sized splurge for me, but pulled the trigger. A few hours later, I was scanning random brand listings, and stumbled across and got stopped in my tracks by the Pilot Silvern Tsumugi. I’m a sucker for all things sterling and, yeah, it happened.
