What MBs are you using today?

[BrandonA]

Changed my rotation completely today.

 

Took out my Christie and Cervantes. My Verne has kept its place.

 

I decided to ink my Fitzgerald with Mystery Black Ink. I bought this pen in its year of release and its the MB fountain pen I've owned the longest. Today however is the first time it has been inked. I will be taking the complete set with my to my parents at the weekend when I travel to be with them over the Xmas holiday.

 

The pen is a beauty to write with. A complete difference to Verne which is heavy. This pen is light but and requires no effort to write with it. Silky move flow on my Moleskine paper.

 

These are the only two pens I currently have inked. In the new year I want to buy some MB red ink. Once I have this I intend to ink my Woolf and Kakfa.

[Ghost Plane]

Ack! How can you stand to own these lovelies and not use them?!

 

Rinsing the Poe and Mann. Can't make up my mind if I want the Shaw B nib next or back to the Carnegie OB. :hmm1: Haven't pulled out the Fitz in awhile, but I'm on a heavy metal kick at the moment.

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

Congrats Michael! A few photos would be nice.

Thanks Michael. It is a great pen. I have discovered this week that I haven't been using my pens as often as I used to. So, I've decided to use a pen every day.

[HBlaine]

Very early this morning, i was using my rough little 134 to do some journal writing. Great little pen, especially after I switched over to using Pel Brilliant Black ink in it.

[Blade Runner]

149 fine, two tone from 1994 + Pel Royale blue.

[Soulmaker1]

Intense high level meeting all day today But got to use my Citrin Classique RB and 149 OBB pen to take notes

Started the day with my Bernard Shaw then switched over to my favorite medium 149 with a brilliant blue Kon-peki Iroshizuku ink.

MB 146 - fine nib - blue/black ink

 

I am hopelessly addicted to this combination.

I am a complete newbie to Mont Blanc pens, but have wanted one for years.

 

For a wedding present, my wonderful new wife bought me the Frederic Chopin Edition Meisterstuck, and I am over the moon.

 

The M nib may be a little wide for my preference, but I will persevere for a while.

 

I have no idea what these 146, 149 numbers are people are talking about, so could do with a little help in that area.......?

 

I also got bought a bottle of Mont Blanc Blue/Black ink, which seems quite nice, although I'm keen to try out some different ones after Christmas.

 

Is there anything else I should know to get me started?
