I’m a father, gamer, music fan and stationary enthusiast. I intend to write about these topics, and connect with other people. I’m a pretty shy person so the latter is going to be a challenge.

I’m also trying to get healthier, be more patient and overall be a better human. I’m not sure how much I want to share about these efforts, but maybe I’ll mention them from time to time.

Another new #FountainPen from yesterday's shipment, TWSBI Eco Heat. I love orange and I threw it in the cart as an impulse purchase on top of the other "well thoughtout" purchases I made.
New #FountainPen day! I had been very interested in the Platinum Curidas, but afraid the grip wouldn’t work for me. I took a chance and so far so good.

New #FountainPen Day! A Franklin-Christoph Model 31 Omnis in FC-IG-1. The nib is a medium stub which I have never had before.

I filled it with Sailor Fuji which matches pretty well.

Today's #FountainPen is a Montegrappa Elmo in Sea at Dusk with a medium nib . The ink is Sailor Miruai.

The Montgrappa Elmo is a great pen. It feels balanced in the hand without the cap posted. The nib is smooth and lays down a (relatively) wide, wet line.

Miruai is a subtle and dark green-black. It has a dark sheen on Tomoe River that doesn't show on other papers.

Made a mess cleaning and filling pens today, but the fun is worth the inky fingers.

Today’s Pen: ✒️ TWSBI VAC700R

This pen looks with great transparent inks sloshing around in the inside.

✍🏻Copper Chloride is a great ink to show off in a pen like this. It goes down easily and is well behaved.

Two pens today:

✒️Pilot Custom 743 Verdigris
✒️ Pelikan M600 in Green

Both are very different, yet fantastic.

The Pilot has a Falcon nib that allows more line variation. The Pelikan is a smooth and wet writer which make it so fun to use. Both are great to look at, though I prefer the Pelikan because it has a little more personality.
