Hi guys!


I’m using my Parker Vacumatic Major golden brown, filled with Iroshizuku Asa Gao, and my Parker 51 flighter, with Montblanc Mystery Black. 
 

Ops, a Glock 22 Gen. 5 too. 😏

LAMY 2000, fine nib, with KWZ IG Blue #3.  Pen puts down a wet, but not overly broad, line with only a hint of feedback.  Definitely a favorite.

P-51 flighter looks stunning! They say Ballistol oil is perfect for any metal surfaces)

Geha 705, flexible OM nib, with Pelikan 4001 Violet ink (this pen prefers "dry" ink).

Interesting, I have that pen with the same nib. How are you liking the nib? Mine is very flexible but odd to hold at an angle.

Well, I absolutely agree, that nib isn't easy to write with. It surely has its temper, with a lot of flex, and it`s necessary to maintain pen angles precisely stable to stay within sweetspot.

Moreover, my pen has some tendency to overflow, so it needs "dry" ink, such as Pelikan Violet or Lamy blue.

A P51 landed in my mailbox, today! (My first, and it's a Dove Gray vacumatic.)

 

It took the Noodlers and that medium nib is working great!

Today it's been:

1) Pastel Green Snorkel, F(?) nib, with more of the vintage Sanford Pen-It Brown (I'm REALLY liking that color, and just wish I had more than a partial 1 oz. bottle).

2) Parker Vector Geometric, F nib, with Birmingham Herbert Simon Cranberry Nobel.

3) French Blue Lamy Safari, F nib, with Lamy Crystal Benetoite.

Today it is a Pilot Custom 823 Amber with broad nib filled with the Pilot Blue it came with. To go with it are also a Pelikan M620 Shanghai medium filled with Diamine Pumpkin and a green striated Sheaffer plunger fill with a fine 5-30 nib topped up with Montblanc Irish Green.
