  I’m thinking of putting Diamine Writer’s Blood in my TWSBI Eco 1.1 stub. It feels suitably dramatic.

    Nice! I just picked up my first Sailor pen (Profit Black Luster) and the trim is very pretty. Enjoying the 21k nib quite a bit.

      I recall you buying it and I’m glad you like it so far. Did you get a converter in the end?

      By the way, we discussed being selective about the ink used to try to protect the ion plating. Also avoid flossing the tines if you can or working on the nib with micromesh or fine grit paper as there are theories that it can weaken the plating along the edges and risk flaking outward from those points.

  I’ll be using a burgundy Pilot e95s with Diplomat Burgundy ink for work notes.

  At the moment I’m using a Platinum Preppy .2 extra fine with Platinum blue/black ink. My first EF pen, wanted to see if I liked a nib that small.

    What do you think? I’ve had mixed experiences with fine nibs (sometimes they feel very scratchy, but in other brands, with different inks and paper, they still feel too wet), so I’ve been nervous about trying EF. There’s obviously still much to learn and experiment with.

  An all blacked out Nakaya D-17 long cigar variant (kuru-roiro, ruthenium) with Take-sumi. No clip, no embellishments. The most lowkey pen setup I have and my idea of the perfect daily writer.

  Primary is a Preppy with Diamine Tropical Glow - I had forgotten how much I like that one. On the road with today, also:

  • Sailor PGS (Peach Haze)
  • Safari (Pink Sugar Beach)
  • Another Preppy, sporting Ancient Charm’s Mooring on the Quinuai River, which may be the shimmeriest purpole shimmer I own…
  • Another Safari, loaded with Vinta Julia

  I’ve got a ton loaded that I alternate through. I’m finding I actually like inks I thought I hated, when I put them in different pens. Just means I have to try all possible combos eventually!
