This week I'm using an MB149 with a stub nib filled with Heart of darkness

[inkstainedruth]

Parker 21 (probably an F nib) to start my journal, with whatever had been in the pen, diluted with distilled water; then finished up with my Guanleming 2001 Demonstrator with Noodler's Bay State Blue.

Noodler's Flex Piston with diluted Diamine Denim for some general note-taking and doing the Sunday crossword.

Noodler's Konrad with diluted Noodler's Kung Te Cheng for check writing.

Flying home in the morning after 7 weeks at holiday house in NZ. I have managed to use up the ink in almost all my pens.

Only 2 pens remain inked - Kaweco Sport (with PR Black Cherry cartridge (awful colour) which will remain here and new $2.50NZ Smiggle Fountain Pen with unarmed Black Cartridge that I'll take home.

Several clean pens in suitcase and others staying here in my desk drawer for next time.

Been missing my clear TWSBI with Tsuki-Yo, so that will be the first pen I fill tomorrow.

Up to recently I've used my Parker Arrow almost every day since I bought it around 1996. Unfortunately, the section cracked on this pen. Then I started to use my Waterman Expert medium nib. I like this pen, but the nib is to wide for me, so I searched for a new pen, and then I discovered the flex nib! Wow! It's just as revolutionary in my life as when I got my first dishwasher machine :-) Now my favourite pen is my Pilot Namiki Falcon soft fine nib. I'm trying different inks, cause I need a relatively wet ink for this pen. I have ordered a Noodler's Conrad. Looking forward to try it.

Black striated Pelikan 400NN with a very flexible OBB nib and Visconti Blue. If I had to give away all my pens - I would try everything to keep this one...

I've almost emptied all my rotation pens and only had my Parker 45 flighter deluxe with Parker Penman Sapphire remaining inked. Got a brand new pen Saturday so I loaded it up with ink and have used it all day today. Finally got a Namaki Falcon with at soft (flexy) fine nib. Inked it up from my new bottle of Platinum Carbon Black ink. Very odd for me to buy a black pen and to use black ink!

 

And? how do you like it?
