Writing letter to son-in-law --- two Stipulas, a Yellow Ventidue and a

Lapis Blue Castoni

 

Both with Titanium nibs -- I have become a big fan of the flex titanium

 

Noodler's Eel Black -- It is essential to keep the Stipula pistons well lubricated

This week I have been using the Edison Nouveau Premiere LE, with a fine steel nib. I bought it with the medium 18k nib, but found that nib to be too wet for most of my uses at this time. It writes beautifully with Clairfontaine and the samples of Rohrer & Klingner inks I received from the Ink Drop earlier this month. Very light weight and a classic look.

To end the week? I used a Lamy Al-Star and a Visconti Van Gogh Starry Night at work - both with PR Electric DC Blue. Tonight I will use my Lamy Studio with 1.1 italic nib to write a card. :rolleyes:
