GvFC Chevron Guilloche black m 18k nib

 

Oh, I like it! 
 

As far as I can see, on FPN GvFC pens are not so popular. But I like them — I have few in my collection and want to add more.

What a gorgeous blue!   🥰  As much as I am 'fond' of purple inks, that pen deserves some Diamine Majestic Blue, or some Liberty Elysium or something.....😁😲:thumbup:

 

I've just bought a Blue No Nonsense off ebay.... I'll post a picture on the blue pen thread when I get it...:thumbup:

 Next time, it will get one of the cobalt blues. I still have the 25 about half full of Quink blue. 
 

@Misfit,  you’re welcome; it’s my favorite color and it’s surprisingly easy to write with. They come in white and red as well.

The Leonardo Momento Zero Grande Blue Hawaii entered rotation this weekend. 

What a pen! Absolutely fabulous looking, super comfortable, and a luxurious writer. 

This medium nib pen lays down a nice, wet line and while you can write very fast with it, the sheer pleasure of holding it and it's beauty make you slow down and deliberate.

Much as the P25  suits the Parker Quink, I'm pretty sure the Lorelei will feel quite queasy if you try to feed her with that.😉 Some girls are quite happy watching TV on Saturday nights, others want to go out dancing...:thumbup:   😉

@51ISH, I have a few others in mind for her, Majestic Blue, Iroshizuku Asa Gao, and Private Reserve Electric DC Blue among the candidates. 
 

I also inked my Pilot Pluminix with Pilot Mixable Orange in a 3:1 ink to water.

Indeed. Picked this over the mango colour mozaico (I had the mango with the spaghetti stripes already). :)

Today it's been the "Street Names" Parker Vector (slate blue with white lettering for the streets), M nib -- KWZI Cherry; and the burgundy Sheaffer Snorkel Special, EF (I think) nib -- modern Strip Blue.

Hmmm.  I wasn't familiar with Adular Blue, so I looked it up just now.  And now am thinking I should maybe get a sample of it to see how close a match it is to MB Leo Tolstoy....

Majohn C1  It's a little 'noisy' on cheap paper but that's probably because I loaded it with Pelikan Blu/Blk so it would look 😎  To be fair it just looks black 😐  I need to swop it out....:sad:

Discovered Adular Blue about 4-5 yrs ago while watching a pen video by Anderson Pen.

The Leonardo Officina Italiana Momento Zero Grande 2.0 Sea Anemone enters circulation this week. 

As has been my experience with Leonardo pens, it's beautiful, well-made, superbly balanced, and amazingly comfortable. 

The nib is a medium nib and lays down a lush thick line. A lovely pen to carry for business and, along with the mozaico posted yesterday as well as a couple of other MZs, a conversation starter.
