@Helen350 and @Sailor Kenshin would either of you mind posting a photo of a purple Phileas. I didn’t know it came in a purple color. 


It is a fairly bluish purple, and for the longest time, I thought mine was BLUE.

My latest ebook.   And not just for Halloween!
 

My other pen is a Montblanc.

Today, so far, it's been the red marbled Deluxe Challenger, EF(?) nib -- still with 4001 Brilliant Black.

Lovely resin on that one!  I only have one CI nib, a 1.3 on an Italix Parson’s Essential, which is my shimmer ink pen.

The resin colour of your new pen looks like sand in a tropical island. Beautiful.

@A Smug Dill
That light lilac tone is to die for ! 
"Very feedbacky" - good feedback or bad feedback ? I wonder if it would feels better on Iroful or Yusari ? 
That Van Dieman's Nov special ink would fit perfectly for this pen.

Almost too much feedback. I'm finding it difficult to draw a round minuscule ‘o’ and close the loop consistently with the pen; the feedback derails some of my attempts to exert fine motor control, especially around tiny curved movements. Also difficult to write 撞 with it and not let the (not really that) dense strokes in the lower right quadrant all run into each other.

Today it's been the Reform "Westinghouse" pen (guessing the nib is an F), still with a cartridge of Pelikan Edelstein Amethyst -- although tried to reconstitute the somewhat dried up ink in the cartridge with adding distilled water to the cartridge with a syringe [some luck, but it still is a finicky writer]; and the Medieval Lapis Konrad (flex nib), still with Noodler's 54th MA (but the pen isn't behaving well and I've had to use Ink Zap on my hands a couple of times already today...).

I’m using a Levenger True Writer Oceanic Gray with M nib, filled with GvFC Garnet. I got that ink because it was my Papa’s birthstone. I’m glad I got it because I like it better than Pelikan Edelstein Garnet.

Lovely set, @A Smug Dill, thanks for sharing!

 

Do these pens come with the caps next to them, or are these combinations constructed from more acquisitions? I can imagine a white and a lilac pen being used to create the left- and right-most caps, for example, or the section and finial of the left-most pen combined with the body of a dark-teal pen.
