I've just received my second hand Caran d'Ache Varius Metwood. As I don't like the ink it's filled with (should be a standard bue ...) I'm going to fill it with Iroshizuku Ama Iro to try his F nib .... Gogogo .....

Just a picture of it with my other Caran d'Ache ... Ecridor 555, Rétro and Leman Ebony ...

I already posted this in the Parker forum, but I guess I'll post this in here also. :)

I am using my everyday black Parker Sonnet with fine nib for my school homework... and I just wrote a wrong word on my worksheet. Oops.

I will use my ancient Parker 180 soon because I am bored using my Sonnet every day.

I am also using another ancient Parker, but I do not know the name of it. I will post something later asking the model of my Parker.

Amazingly, I have only 1 pen inked at the moment. There's a first time for everything! It's a Lamy Nexx with LH nib (this pen is great for days when I have lots of writing to do) and Visconti Black (combined with a tiny bit of Visconti Sepia)

I have a big job interview today, so I'm going for the Parker 45 in navy blue with gold trim and 14K XF nib. As dependable as it gets. Using PR Ebony Purple

And my backup is my Pelikan m200 in green swirl with the 250 gold nib with PR Sherwood Green ink.

 

I'm going for quietly solid and dependable rather than flashy. It's a smaller company that's been around for a long time by being smart, dependable, careful, not wild and flashy and ostentatious. In other words, I'm not bringing my Delta 365 that's big enough to bring down a bear, in Dolcevita Orange with gold trim .

Best of luck with the big interview. A navy Parker 45 sounds like business, indeed.

Lamy 2000 (M) with Aurora Black. This ink always increases the width of the nib to a M/B, but it's such a zen-like combination in terms of smoothness and lubrication that I never mind all that much.

Back to the TWSBI Diamond 540 Smoke but I have a few new ones to check out and ink up soon.

I've just been practicing my copperplate and have accidentally inked up and used: mb146, jinhao 599, jinhao 159, plat preppy, mb 342 and a fpr guru. I need to get out more I think! Oh plus I was already using the paidi century six!
