Well, that was a surprise!

I found this group of inks on Ebay, and the price was too good to pass up. They run for about $2.50-$3. To find them, search for “fountain pen ink” and sort by lowest price + shipping. They have ten colors available that I could find. Black, Blue, Turquoise, Violet, Hot Pink, Red, Bordeaux, Brown,

That age old question, Why?

Looking at the things I can do on this blog, I started thinking, “What is my goal? Why do I want to blog about fountain pens and other stationary?” I found my answer relatively quickly: I enjoy the act of writing with a fountain pen or other good writing product on good paper, and I

The Pens of November 18th, 2020

Started looking at making an updateable ink journal here, I think it is actually possible, as well as a list of owned pens. It will probably take me a bit to to get that posted, as well as figure out how to pin it or some such. Now for todays pens, I felt kinda in

The Pens of November 17th, 2020

Not going out again, so just two pens. These should look very similar to each other, why? Because they are nearly the same model pen! Both are PenBBS 355’s, and while one is in the Ice resin and the other in Skyline, that is not the only difference. The blue Skyline is PenBBS’s redesign of

I just received a Moonman M800 in the mail! It is quite nice, enough that it is being added to rotation right away! I also managed to find the perfect ink for it, Sheaffer Burgundy. The ink almost matches the pen barrel, it looks so good with the pen. I am also using the Hong

Ready for Paper!

I got my testing pens in now, so I can put some paper through it’s paces! My standard for testing paper is going to be with three inks: The waterproof, pigmented, Kala Dude, The waterproof, lubricated, Noodlers Blue Eel, and The more standard Diamine Majestic Blue. All three are in a separate pen with a

Today is a day of yard work. I never realized how many leaves had to be raked up and how long it takes, lol. So, quick list: PenBBS 456 Sherry, PenBBS 355 Skyline, and my Karas Kustoms Bolt V2.

A lot of Sheaffer ink!

Here you see 11 large bottles (2oz/60ml) of Sheaffer ink, I also received 26 small bottles (12ml), all saved from the trash by my cousin who was helping a friend clean out some stuff at their parents house. My cousin held on to them for a little while and then gave them to me. I

Going to be out and about a lot today, so I went for my brass Delike pocket pen, it has a mini fude (I believe it is also called a waverly nib?) and is super smooth, inked with Sheaffer Gold. This gold ink is from a old bottle that was given to me along with

The Pens of October 30th, 2020

Today’s pick: Opus 88 Koloro with Diamine Sherwood Green, PenBBS 456 in the Sherry resin with Monteverde Fire Opal, and Sakura Pigma Micron 01. I think I am going to stick with the Micron 01 for the rest of the week, it is a solid writer, and can handle the rain we have been having
