I, on the other hand, am using something quite hideous - a rotring 900 stylograph, all barrel ribs and shiny chrome. It looks like an accident in a shower-hose factory. Lovely nib, though, and a very nice writer.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

One of my favorite pens. But it's definitely not one for my shirt pocket.

Today I’ve been using the TWSBI Diamond Mini in white and rose gold version 2. It is filled with Nemosine Alpha Centauri. Oh Nemosine, I missed out on your inks. 😭

Day 2 of 30 using a Sailor Shining Blue 14k EF with Sailor Blue Black. I have been using it for very short notes in a commonplace book for several months but haven't enjoyed it - it's  not scratchy, but is too dry for me and I don't feel in control. I'm intending to use it for everything - journal, drawing, doodling for 30 days to see if it can settle in and/or I get the hang of it... so far, not fun.

Will work for pens... :unsure:

You should try it with another ink :)

Sailor Manyo Sumire for example, to stay with Sailor inks. Or if you want something in the Blue-black territory, maybe J. Herbin Bleu des profondeurs?
