What MBs are you using today?


Blade Runner

Recommended Posts

Using a 146 green straited acquired recently, with MB Oyster Grey ink. The nib looks like it has been retipped/regrounded and it's a wet noodle. Will be sending it to a nib meister after the Xmas rush.

Been scribbling with my Faulkner. B nib, with Visconti Black.

 

Think I might experiment a bit with some other inks over the weekend...

Cleaned out a couple of my pens today: Dostoevsky + Shaw.

 

New month earlier in the week means a new pen for work. Decided to use my Cervantes with MB Toffee Brown ink. I've had it inked for a few weeks now but it the first time the pen has been used in earnest.

 

Also inked for home use currently inked with MB Mystery Black.

 

Unsure on the third pen to have inked at present. Currently Twain is inked but I may swap it out this weekend. Need to think about what to bring back into rotation in its place.

My new 149 with Oyster Grey. Didn't think I'd like the Oyster Grey color, but it's great! :thumbup: Boutique was out of Irish Green :crybaby:, another color I haven't tried yet.

A new old Montblanc 136 with a wonderful flex-springy medium nib which shows line variations from extra fine to broad. This was the first vintage Montblanc pen I have gotten for a long time but the most precise writing qualities reminded me how great those vintage Montblanc nibs are!

 

Currently the pen is filled with Sailor Nioi-Sumire (a lighter lavender tone blue ink from the spring collection).

 

The 136 seems to be a full celluloid postwar model with three blank cap bands, a stepped clip, sinlge tone (???) gold nib and a short, unengraved cap top.

 

Cheers

Wow very classic, but what a good taste! :thumbup:

 

Thx! I also love to work with this combination. It feels like it takes me back in time when everything seemed to go a little bit slower.

I don't post in this thread very much because I always use the same pens 149 B nib and 146P B nib. Both filled with MB blueblack; the 149 is my desk pen and the 146P lives in my pocket.

 

I'm can't seem to post pics in FPN, but here's a link. If any of you can put the pic in this thread, please do so.
