I love TWSBI days. Can't wait for the Xmas colors to come out so I can have more. :D

I inked up my Pilot VP today. I will use it as my daily writer for a while.

 

 

Man I have that same pen, I put it in storage. I would take it out if I didn't have 10 pens inked... Enjoy.

Finally inked up the M205 Telecom I bought last Nov/Dec.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

Yesterday I decided to treat myself by visiting Fountain Pen Hospitals (NYC) annual holiday expo. In addition to picking up a couple of vintage pens (a senior Parker Duofold pen/pencil set and a Diamond Point lever filler in a unique color), I decided to go big, very big. Today Im using my new red Pilot Custom Urushi and blue Wahl-Eversharp Deco-band, pictured here with my Conid Kingsize Bulkfiller to demonstrate their size. The Pilot and Wahl-Eversharp are filled with Montblanc Homage to Homer Blue ink (also purchased at the pen fair).

So far today it's been a couple of Noodler's pens: the Boston Safety (with Noodler's Luck of the Draw, an ink that does very well in it) and a Charlie eyedropper (with Noodler's Kung Te Cheng).

But later, it will probably be the new (replacement) grey Decimo, F nib. It came Wednesday, and I got it flushed out Wednesday night. Then spent all day trying to decide what ink to use for the inaugural fill. And finally -- around midnight -- chose Iroshizuku Take-Sumi (my other choices being Yama-budo and Kon-peki, because Tsuyu-kusa is already in a different pen).

Three pens that take forever to run out of ink:

 

  • A Pelikan 140, with Waterman Tender Purple
  • A Kaweco Sport, configured as an eyedropper filler, with De Atramentis Brilliant Violet Copper
  • A Parker Victory Mk1, with Birmingham Waterfront Dusk

I have finally emptied my Pelikan 140 and my Kaweco Sport, both inked since early September.

 

Currently inked are a Parker Victory Mk 1 with Birmingham Waterfront Dusk and a Platinum 3776 with Kyo-Iro Soft Snow of Ohara.
