Parker Duofold Centennial Big Red Vintage, to write a complaint to the brand's local distributor about what it did with that pen.

 

Pelikan M600 Vibrant Orange and Aurora Optima 365 (2018 limited edition) 'Cappuccino', each with a very narrow italic nib customised by Dan Smith of Nibsmith.com for me, to produce some writing samples for illustrating to Santini Italia – with whom I've just placed an order — what I'm after in terms of nib customisation.

 

120+ other fountain pens inked, as always.

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

In the few hours since the turn of the year, fooling around with some artwork, I've used a PenBBS TWSBI Go B inked with Graf von Faber-Castell Burned Orange, a PenBBS 480 F inked with Diamine Eclipse, a Moonman C2 F inked with Diamine Purple Rain, and a Sailor Pro Gear Slim F inked with Organics Studio Manganese. I have also tried and mysteriously failed to ink an anodized aluminium PenBBS 323 with Diamine Earl Grey. Converter won't draw. Odd. Never mind. Sort it out tomorrow.

Lined paper makes a prison of the page.

I generally carry a broad and a medium every day. I mostly write mathematics (slowly, artfully) and Gregg shorthand (poorly)

 

my favored combos are:

 

1973 MB 149 M (architecty-feel) in De Atramentis Purple Violet

Visconti Homo Sapiens Magma M (acts like a broad) in Herbin Rouge Grenat

 

Namiki Emperors inked up in these combos

M Murasaki-Shikubu, B Momiji

M Fuyu-Gaki B Tsutsuji

M Ina-Ho B Tsukushi

M Bishamonten B Yama-Budo

 

pick one M and one B at whim on any day, but those are the usual combos

 

Ranga model 5 B in Hoteison and Kon-peki

 

more Ranga 5's on order I absolutely ADORE these pens

 

I have many TWSBIIs and Jinhaos in various Frankenstates of abuse with shimmering inks and experimental grinds

 

I am going to explore Pelikans in 2020, but I have no experience with them

Good luck with your exams.

That sounds like an excellent fountain pen for notetaking.

A late '30-s40's BCHR Osmia mdl 76, with a grand steel Supra nib....maxi-semi-flex.

Herbin Blue Pervenche...a nice turquoise ink.

 

The new Pelikan 200 Ruby Star, with a B nib, using Diamine Lilic Satin a glitter ink.

I'm going to have to go to OB or OBB,semi-flex in as 'wet' as a Pelikan nib is....(made for a dry ink), it is not wet enough to deposit easy to see glitter.

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

Ransom Bucket cost me many of my pictures taken by a poor camera that was finally tossed. Luckily, the Chicken Scratch pictures also vanished.

The cheapest lessons are from those who learned expensive lessons. Ignorance is best for learning expensive lessons.

I need to put ink in a pen today. I will use that pen for the month of January in my TN weekly and memo calendar. The pen is a Franklin-Christoph Omnis (#31) in Smoke and Ice, to be filled with J Herbin Gris Nuage which was a Christmas gift.

 

I think gray will capture Winter in a Midwestern January.
