Gentlemen..Chicolini here may talk like an idiot, and look like an idiot,

but don't let that fool you...he really is an idiot. I implore you, send him

back to his father and brothers, who are waiting for him with open arms

in the penitentiary. I suggest that we give him ten years in Leavenworth,

or eleven years in Twelveworth.

Today so far seems to be the "running out of ink in pens" day. In the course of doing my morning pages entry I started with the Purple Cosmos Pro Gear Slim, zoom nib, and Diamine Grey. Which quickly had to be swapped out for the Light Grey Decimo, F nib, and Iroshizuku Tsuyu-kusa; after that, to finish up the last paragraph, was the Methusaleh Pine Cone Ripple ebonite Noodler's Konrad, currently sporting Sailor Souboku.

And now I'm trying to decide which pen show get the inaugural fill of Pelikan Star Ruby from last night's Pittsburgh Pelikan Hub....

Rather than reducing the number of inked pens, filled the Sheaffer Legacy Heritage King's Gold with Colorverse Monsoon Storm.

 

Amazingly, that pen looks fat in the case next to my other Sheaffers -- but is thin compared to the remaining four inked Ranga pens.

Still loving the Lamy 2000 after 48 hours......

Still loving the Lamy 2000 after 48 hours......

 

 

How nice. The Lamy 2000 is a pen I want to love, because I like how it looks, but the way the Macrolon model is balanced makes it difficult for me to write for any length of time. I have never written with the metal version and keep wondering whether that one would work better for me.

Very nice.

 

+1 to that. What's the nib on yours, Garden Weasel? I have a couple of Cedar Blue 51 Vacs, and the one with the gold-filled cap is an EF nib. I had the tines opened up a bit when I got the pen rehabbed, and it's a good writer now -- great for when I'm doing research and having to take copious notes.

Hi, it was sold as a medium...and with Waterman Serenity Blue, it’s on the narrow side of medium. Darn pen is making me wonder why I have other pens. I am really growing fond of it! My first Parker 51.
