Today is a #newpenday ! Haven't even inked this baby yet, just got home and needed to snap a pic before I crash.

The best #NewPenDay is that when the pen was an absolute bargain! #SailorKOP #Penthusiast

It's New Pen Day!! My first BENU, and wohhhhhh she pretty.

I've inked it up with J. Herbin Kyanite du Nepal, which matches the blue of the pen nicely. Ink demo later.

New pen who dis? #franklinchristoph #fountainpen #lovethispen #newpenday Model 19 in GCB colorway with a medium cursive italic Nagahara nib. I LOVE IT!!

I got two platinum 3776 today. I've never owned one before but they're great writers, both in <M> and <F>. It's great getting to go to a brick and mortar to feel and try before buying.

I also got some ink 😄

It's a #newpenday and I'm so excited to get my hands on the new Platinum #3776 Century LE Uroko-gumo #fountainpen from their Mount Fuji series.

The pen body is not actually smooth to touch but a bit bumpy, making for a really interesting tactile experience. I actually quite like it!

Now comes the difficult task of matching an ink to the cap with its gorgeous stormy blue-grey that carries a hint of green...

Hooray, hooray, it's New Pen Day!

I got hooked by Goldspot Pens' newsletter last week announcing this new Limited Edition Edison Pen Co in the Blue Nebula colorway. I couldn't help myself; it jumped into my cart.

I've inked it up with Colorverse's Monkeyhead Nebula Glistening, a grey-blue with pink shimmer. I can't get a handwriting sample I'm happy with today, so I'll have to show that off later.

I've had a real great writing experience with the #Kaweco #Perkeo. It's such a good writer and such a fun design.

I decided to get some more. The blue is the one I already had. The black I call my #licorice pen. and the clear is my first #demonstrator.

Each of them came with four blue cartridges and an empty, gonna use those for my liliput.

Hello FP friends! I hope something changes with Reddit, but happy to make a home over here if not.

#NewPenDay = Best Day

#newpenday all hail the prettiest of nibs - the TWSBI Diamond 580 in Iris finish is a real beauty.

The colour of it is inspired by traditional swedish porcelain and I have to say they did a good job with it. I inked it up with #lamy blue. A great "traditional" blue that to me captures the feeling of porcelain and office writing.

I inked the smaller one "Hallongrotta" up with #pilot iroshizuku momiji. I finished a couple of pens recently and these make a great pair 🖋✌️

This is going to be a two part post about a thing I bought.

In 2021 #Sailor began a new series of special edition #fountainpens called Tea time. The first set of pens to release was two pens called #FIKA named after the swedish tradition of the same name.

Last summer I got the smaller of the two, called "Hallongrotta". Today I got the bigger one, "Cup".

#newpenday

My new pen came in!

Lamy Al-Star, Petrol, Medium.

Also appearing are the five inks I thought might be fun for it. I got a sample of the legendary Emerald of Chivor, but honestly I think I'll end up preferring something from the Manyo line.

Forgot to cross-post this earlier, my #NewPenDay for the #Hongdian Year of the Rabbit pen that finally arrived from AliExpress. #FountainPens #ArchitectNib

Me today

#NewPenDay! Actually, I received it yesterday. I cleaned it out, inked it up with Diamine Golden Brown, & tested it out. It was *horrible*. Turns out, that ink isn't for this particular feed & nib. They couldn't keep up or something & kept running dry. I was really distraught because I thought it was the pen & I find this material to be so pretty. Then I remembered that I had similar struggles with that ink in a different pen. I cleaned it out again & tried a reliable, known good, go-to ink (Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Black) with much greater success. It's unfortunate that I can't match it up with the Diamine ink because the combination would have been perfect. I'm going to give Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Brown a try at some point because I really want a brown ink in this pen. Turquoise would also be a good choice but I already have too many blue & green inks.

Diamine Golden Brown is the only ink I've ever had problems like this with.

I've got a Goulet Pens cart full of dark red or red brown ink samples so I can find the perfect matchy-matchy ink for it. Contenders so far are Diamine Oxblood, Diamine Red Dragon, Private Reserve Vampire Red, and Sailor Manyo Ume.

I've been reallynhappy with my #TWSBI and looking at another one. This time I tried out a narrower nib. I'm also looking forward to learning the ins and outs of the vacum fill. But I'm surprised at the different finishes of the iris colours. The rest of the iridecent parts are the same but the clip is smooth on the diamond 580 and very textured on the Vac 700R.
