Today is Montblanc Heritage 1912 <B CI> with Aurora Black, taking notes at work. What about you?
I’m thinking of putting Diamine Writer’s Blood in my TWSBI Eco 1.1 stub. It feels suitably dramatic.
Lamy AL-Star EF-nib with Diamine Eau de Nil
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.
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.
@richard3030 @xoagray I prefer fine nibs because of my rather smallish handwriting. But I know that scratchy thing you’re talking about. I got brave one day and starting using sanding pads on any “off” feeling nibs. I was able to get them to be smooth without a lot of sanding, and now they’re my favorite pens to write with.
