What MBs are you using today?

[Blade Runner]

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

 

Michael

Congrats Michael! A few photos would be nice.

I am using a Mont Blanc 146 from the early 80s, borrowing it while waiting to buy a 149, its inked with Diamine Emerald and we are having fun!

Today is not a good day.

 

1) I do some work from home before getting ready to head into the office. As I was out of my normal routine I started to clean my teeth before realising I had not eaten breakfast. Therefore go to work hungry.

 

2) When getting to work I realise the heating is not working. I'm therefore cold and hungry.

 

3) To really cap it off, I realise that I've forgotten to bring my MB pouch filled with pens to work. Today I am therefore using a bic biro (blue ink) along with a disposable Papermape mechanical pen. This has really put my pens into perspective and I now truely understand how much I "need" them.

 

Looking forward to going home this evening. Today is not a good day.

Brandon- that is a horrible horrible day.

 

I went to see a patient today and realised I had left my pouch with my Hemingway and Faber pen of the year 2007 in the car.

 

Devastated, I had to ask a nurse to borrow her pen.....

 

I feel your pain (although I had brekky..)

[Ghost Plane]

Poe WE B nib with MB blue and Mann WE with MB black. Both B nibs. I'm having to work on someone else's paper and even with reliable nibs and ink, the nasty stuff is causing skipping.

[Blade Runner]

Had cut down my pens to just MB Christie and MB Cervantes so I decided to add another into the current rotation. I was a choice of three, Poe, Mann and Verne. As my Verne had not been inked for the longest, I decided to ink this with MB blue. I'd forgotten how beautifully this pen wrote.

Had the lovely La Boheme in rotation recently, but now it's just the 100-Year Historical. Very nice.
