Just received a Pilot Prera in the mail and I couldn't be happier. I've been playing with it this evening and I think I may have found my perfect nib! It is the first nib I've used that has both a fine enough point and that also writes smoothly enough for me.

Today there has been one of variety for me :thumbup:

 

Esterbrook 2556 nib (which has been "ground" to an oblique right) with Diamine Blue Black

 

Pelikan Blue O Blue with OM nib (just got this new nib and do NOT like it) with Private Reserve spearmint

 

and the mail brought:

 

Black Sailor w/GF trim - 1911 International with a 21 K Music Nib :cloud9: which I filled with Noodler's Brown - a sample I hadn't gotten to use yet!

 

First experience with a Music Nib and so far I like it a good bit! :thumbup:

today? Hero (parker 51 knock-off) and diamine rustic brown ink. the pen's leaking quite badly now... im trying to eek out a bit longer from it. thinking about putting a hair band on the rubber bit to keep it a tighter seal....

Even though I have green and red Aurora Optimas, and a blue stripe Pelikan 800 in my bag today, the only pen I have used all day is the Visconti Skeleton AG925, filled with Private Reserve D. C. Supershow Blue.
