Misfit: That is a very handsome pen!

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

Today’s pen is the Kaweco AL Sport Ruby Red with 1.1mm stub nib. The cartridge in it needed some reviving with water. The ink is Waterman Radiant Pink.

    I just put a cartridge of Platinum Blue-Black in my UEF BelAge. I may have to report for jury duty tomorrow morning, so I am anticipating having to take notes on terrible paper. My last stint as a juror, they wouldn’t let me use my own paper, so I learned to use my narrowest nibs and driest inks. 

Top 5 of 25 currently inked pens:

MontBlanc 144 IB, Herbin Orange Indien/ Wearingeul Frost

Waterman’s 52V red ripple ring top, Herbin Vert de Gris

Parker 88 Place Vendôme IB, Diamine Golden Sands

Parker “51” Desk pen EF, Sailor Manyo Konagi

Yiren Giraffe IEF, Pilot Yama-Guri/sky blue holographic mica

Today it's been the recently acquired Parker 45 Flighter, B (or stub?) nib, with diluted Robert Oster Dragon's Night; and the Sailor Pro Gear Slim Purple Cosmos, zoom nib, with diluted Sailor Jentle Sky High.

"It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

Today I’m going back to my favorite 1.1mm stub nib pens. It will be the Monteverde Trees of the World Avenue of the Baobabs. It is filled with Iroshizuku Tsukushi. The pen is based on actual Baobab trees in Madagascar.

Really nice looking pen...  👍😀   Looking forward to seeing a sample of the Tsukushi ink.

Today I'm playing with a newly-arrived Moonman V60. I've been considering an OMAS 360 and bought this to see if the handling would suit me - the jury's still out at the moment.

I am using a Conklin amber Duragraph filled with Waterman Serenity Blue ink today. The pen has a stub nib so it isn't always practical, but is enjoyable to use upon occasion.

I've been looking for a nice match for my Piano Red Studio.  I may have to try this.  Nice combination.

You do have an eclectic preference in choosing your fountain pens indeed!  Do most of them have a particular nib you get or something they have in common I wonder?
