My new Platinum Briar #3776!

Love a lovely nail writer at times!!! Warm in the hand and simply lays down ink as expected.

And gorgeous as well!

Juantxo · 31 December 2016, 10:52 AM

That beautiful briar looks warn to the touch. Congratulations...!!

jar · 31 December 2016, 01:02 PM

Today I was also using a Platinum #3776 but a Century model.

Formulansx · 31 December 2016, 05:32 PM

My new retro51 came in as well as my caran d'ache gold bar so did a little writing with both.

Formulansx · 10 January 2017, 08:58 AM

Pulled the Visconti Michelangelo out for a run today. I haven't written with it in well over a month.

Juantxo · 10 January 2017, 09:11 AM

Great minds think alike.

jar · 10 January 2017, 10:03 AM

Today it was a Sailor 1911S.

Two today, a Pilot Custom 74 and a Sailor 1911s Akajiku two tone red body and black cap. That pattern is called "Red Stem" and is meant to look like the stem of a variety of Polygonatum odoratum (a plant related to Lilly of the Valley).

Using my Lamy LX for the first time at work. The 14kt gold nib is writing well. I mixed up a blend of bookbinders red belly snake black and some diamine golden sands. I was hoping for a deep black with gold but it's sort of a dark gray with a small amount of gold sparkle. Need to work on the recipe a little.

I would like to see that recipe. Post a photo of a writing sample if you get a chance.

No problem Richard. I'll try to get to it tomorrow. It's not going to be very exciting at the moment but I'm hoping for big things once I get it sorted.

Here you go. It's not too inspiring with this mix. I'm going to try a very small amount of black and mostly golden sands on the next run. The nib is great though!!

Thanks for the photo!

That looks like a well lubricated ink regardless of its lack of "inspiration".

Still, I do like it!

Thanks again!

I was using my Pilot Custom Heritage. It writes so smoothly with a Medium NIB.

Piccolo Writer, ao-tameruni, XBroad nib, tsuyu-kusa ink. I'm very pleased with this pen. The only think I might have done different is choosing a Broad nib with stub modification. But I like it as it is because it really shows off the color of the ink, my favorite blue ink.

Formulansx · 14 January 2017, 05:50 PM

I went back to the Omas Paragon Ludovico Einaudi signature today. I have not used it in several weeks due to the new retro51 tornado and the caran d'ache goldbar incomings. I had an affair with a couple Visconti's in there someplace as well. What an awesome pen this Omas is! It still has not given me any problems whatsoever. The broad nib writes like a more rounded stub. It impresses me more and more every time I write with it. This one is an absolute keeper. I don't think I could ever flip her!

Bisquitlips · 18 January 2017, 10:48 AM

This Platinum again! Just can't keep my hands off of it!

Warm, wet, and lays down a perfect line with Akkerman Moss ink!

Glintpiece · 19 January 2017, 05:59 AM

Dangit ... I guess I need a fancy pen now. These would look awesome on my desk.

Bisquitlips · 19 January 2017, 10:10 AM

I used my new Pilot Prera green accented demonstrator. It is a smaller sized pen and has a calligraphy medium nib. About a 1.1 or 1.3 I believe. Very nice writer for under $40.00.

Spoonage · 19 January 2017, 11:08 AM

Put the Visconti HS Florentine Hills through its paces today at work.

Juantxo · 19 January 2017, 11:39 AM

Yesterday and today I used a green Pelikan 600, Fine nib. Today I received a perfectly new Waterman Bicentennary Le Man 100 ballpoint. One just like it, new, Bicentennary fountain pen is on the way. Vive la France...!!! I'll try to post pictures tomorrow.

Formulansx · 20 January 2017, 08:25 AM

Continuation from thank you card Wednesday. I brought the Monteverde Invincia to work with me. There was some light that finally made it through the windows so I was able to get a shot that showed off the carbon fiber

DrewYoung · 10 September 2019, 03:43 PM

I always use an ink pen, well from the starting only I used ink in my college. Actually, my mom makes it compulsory for me.

My favorite pen, Sailor Pro Gear Realo. I really love how smooth the NIB is when writing and the see through ink window.
