Pilot Custom 74 (clear demonstrator), b nib with Diamine Asa Blue

 

Sailor 1911 standard (black with rhodium trim), m nib with Binder Burgundy

 

Sheaffer Intrigue (black "bark" version), m nib with Sailor Sky High

 

Soooo...it turns out that Asa Blue and Sky High are pretty much the same colour of ink. I hadn't noticed this before, and feel pretty silly duplicating a colour (guess I really like it!) The good news is that Asa Blue provides an excellent substitute with the upcoming phase out of Sky High.

Still using exclusively ...

_F-C Intrinsic Smoke & Ice, Broad Stub (Diamine Steel Blue, colors the barrel petrol, which is pretty cool)

Don`t see myself using up 4ml of ink, before getting tired of the color.

Think it`s ok to eventually pour it back into the bottle or is that a No-No?

Pelikan 400 (Mid 50s i think) Oblique fine and super flexy.

Whether to pour back or dump depends on your level of comfort with potential contamination. Likely, you'd be fine to do so. Personally, I have quite a bit of ink that pouring out a ml or so wouldn't be a big deal (I don't feel it's wasting that much in terms of product or cash). I usually use up the ink anyway, even if I take the inked pen out of rotation for a bit to "find" my enjoyment for it and the ink at a later date.

It is with much humble pie that I am using and LOVING a White Lamy Safari with a black EF nib. It's loaded with Pelikan Edelstein Tanzanite and is a total, total dream to use.

I blame / thank jdavidallen

*GASP* Does this mean you'll no longer be needing your Homo Sapiens?

 

Today, it seems as always, it's my newest friend the black Pilot Custom 74, inked with Edelstein Onyx, and I expect I'll be reaching for my TWSBI Mini, EF, later on, because it's the only pen I can use that doesn't bleedthrough on the thin pages of the journalist's Moleskine I stupidly bought a while ago before becoming obsessed with fountain pens.
