This week is the Sheaffer Targa Sterling silver fountain pen F nib with Diamine Sherwood Green. It feels like an M to me. Maybe the ink ?

I'm using seven pens today (eight if I count the Moonman Wancai Mini (0.7), and why wouldn't I?). Eight pens.

 

Eight pens for September:

#1 Moonman C2 (Pilot PO nib), Noodler's Black

2. Nakaya Piccolo Cigar (NPC) Kuro (EF), Noodler's Black

3. NPC Kuro-roiro (CI), Platinum Blue-Black

4. NPC Heki (Platinum UEF), Platinum Carbon Black

5. Pilot CH92 (EF), Pilot Blue

6. Pilot Falcon (SEF), Lamy Red

7.TWSBI Vac Mini (EF), Sailor Shikiori Sakura-mori

8. Moonman Wancai Mini (0.7), Iroshizuku Take-sumi

 

The Red and Sakura-mori inks arrived yesterday. The colors are pretty, but only for short sentences, and inking up those pens reminded me of how much I enjoy writing with them.

 

Even so, I wonder how long I can go without making changes to this list. I'm trying to maintain it for September. (I usually last at least a week before some weird niggling happens.) (I'm guessing, the Lamy Red will be first, but I'll want to keep the PF (SEF) in. Huh, am I speculating, predicting, or planning?)

Tonight,  I'm using my M200 gold marble with Stipula Purple; reading LizEF's review of 4001 Purple remnded me I hadn't used this in a while.

New Pen Day

Today I’m using a green Wing Sung 3008 that arrived in the post today.  I’ve read good and not so good things about them, so I had to try.

So far so good - just a couple of pages but I’m liking the fine nib that has a little feedback on the cheap paper I used. Hence I’m looking forward to a good experience overall. 
I cracked open my new bottle of Diamine Salamander for it.

Today it's one of the Parker Vectors which arrived in the mail yesterday.  Both appear to be US production and both have nibs marked as "2" (not quite sure if that's the equivalent to an F or not).  This one had a dead Parker Permanent Blue cartridge in it when the pen came, and I'm now writing with what ink was reconstituted when I went to flush the pen out, after installing a spare converter.

I'm using the pen I hastily picked up when I needed to write down a note during a phone call -- the same Conway Stewart Duro I used yesterday.

Took it to work/school today and used it to demonstrate trigonometry problem solutions for my students.  Still using the residual Salamander ink.

I found I liked the F nib and the writing was very clear.  On the school notepaper, the Salamander dried blacker than on my test sticky note.

Today I am using a Pilot Decimo burgundy with a factory stub.
