LOL PGC,  that's a scream... I didn't know (or didn't remember) what a "toothbrush Doufold was.... hahaha


  I found out today that the Geometric celluloid “toothbrushes” are modeled on Polynesian war clubs.

Today’s pens are a medium five below pastel green pen with green ink, a matte black Sheaffer Targa M with a Sheaffer purple ink, and a fine blue Parker Slimfold with Pilot Iroshizuku Ku-Jaku.  I might add more later.

Two pens,  The Onoto Scholar (of Coarse), and a Kaweco Special.  The Kaweco is a handy metal-=bodied pen and virtually bulletproof.

Today’s Log book pen is a Franklin-Christoph model 66 Stabilis in black, with a nuclear green section, filled with De Atramentis Marie Currie or uranium green.

Today it is the Fahrney’s/Retro 51 Cherry Blossom 2023 featuring the Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial in Washington, DC. It’s filled with De Atramentis Franklin Roosevelt (Tungsten purple in the regular lineup). It’s like the perfect pen with the perfect ink. 💜💜💜

  These are gorgeous! I love those nibs, and how delicate the engravings look on the Shogun.

 

  Today I have used a Chinese demo piston filler that could have been inspired by your Ogiva.large.IMG_0299.jpeg.f431717e2b47c249712fe72eed0647d0.jpeg

Today, I have been using a Pilot Metropolitan filled with Waterman intense Black ink and a wooden dip pen fitted with a no. 5 fountain pen nib.

Today I have been using a dark green Cross Bailey Light filled with Diamine Sherwood  Green.  I also used a Serendipity dip pen with DeAtramentis Archive Black for a sketch that is to be watercolored.  I was happy to see that the dip pen worked so well with the DeAtramentis ink because my other dip pens don’t like that ink.  It kept me from having to ink another pen just to do one sketch.

Look at that.  At first glance it looked like it was a Parker 'something'. Very nice pen, btw.  Fine nib?  What ink did you fill it with?  Is that some green shimmer near the piston seal or a mirage  What paper were you using?   Curious minds want to know.😁

😀:thumbup:  Nice !! 

What paper were you using?  Would you say the Oxford Blue is a dry, wet or average ink?

  EF nib, a Chinese Gold Powder ink named CX-03 (Amazon) that looks kinda greenish near the top of the feed-maybe the gold powder in the greenish blue ink?  Paper today is a high gloss planner made by Universe Publishing.
