Montblanc 149 Platinum with Twilight Blue and it's twin 146 Platinum with Toffee Brown..... What a combo.

MB 149, purchased used ffrom CFP in 2010 with a F nib. Writing style has grown toward broader nibs, and so I just swapped the F nib for a used O3B signature nib, 18K. Pen arrived back today, just in time for #fountainpenday.

~ For correcting student homework, a 149 90th anniversary EF with Corn Poppy Red ink.

For a few notes, a 146 90th anniversary B with Royal Blue ink.

Both writing with effortless ink flow, a luxury which never cloys.

I just received my MB 146 after nib work by Mike Masuyama - MikeItWork. This pen has been sitting in my pen case for more than 15 years - it wrote too broad for me and always skipped. I thought it was hopeless.

 

Now ground to XF and with perfect flow it is the finest pen I own. I can't stop using it today! Midnight Blue MB ink. Thanks Mike!

Using my Starwalker Urban Speed, fine nib, Waterman Black cartridge.

 

Historical Note: some are put off by the black pen with red stripe BUT remember - one of the original pens from this company was the "rouge et noir" - red and black, red cap and black barrel. Red and black, JUST LIKE THE URBAN SPEED!

I am using the following MB"s; 128G, gray 322 and green 324. The 128 and 324 are inked with Waterman Blue Black, and the 322 is inked with Iroshizuku kosumosu. Acquired all 3 at the Ohio Pen Show.

I almost exclusively, at this point, use my 149 with an EF nib (via Mike!). Love it >

On vacation with a trio of 14X's... FP (f), RB, and BP.... Wish I had more cause to write...

At work: Urban Speed ballpoint, rugged and low key, with a Monteverde broad black soft roll refill.

At home: Trusty 146 with extra fine (and extra smooth) nib by Mike, and Montblanc Midnight blue.

I like the look of the Urban Speed ballpoint. Is it light like the "Midnight Black" or heavier like the "Black Mystery"?

[rsx]

Definitely heavier than Midnight Black. The gripping section is metal, and the pen balances at the junction of the gripping section and barrel. I find it well balanced and comfortable to use.

 

I am not a big fan of the Mont Blanc ballpoint refills, however. I prefer the Monteverde soft roll refills or Zebra F series refills, which fit perfectly with a small spacer at the end.

Thank you for the information!

Using beloved Princesse Grace with Sailor Sannomiya Panse ink. A perfect combination.

Using the same pen and ink for past couple of months: Montblanc Meisterstuck 12 grey OBB nib with Sulekha Crystal Violet ink.

None, I got some DIamine Shimmertastic ink, and do not want to put it in any of my piston fillers, or pens with expensive nibs, so I am trying it in a Parsons Essential from Mr Pen, with a convertor. So far no problems after two days.

[HBlaine]

Last night it was a 254 M nib with Parker Black Quink.

 

Today it's a later 149 with a F nib and MB Black.
