Good stuff - just make sure that you don't press down too much on the nib while writing. As for the smudge of ink on your finger, just wait until you use bottled ink - they'll be much worse than that!

Just don't go near the Massdrop Writing Community, if you want to keep some money in your pocket.
PS I can recommend the Italix Churchman's Prescriptor.

I felt very meta drawing the pen I was using. Oddly circular.

Sketched in my hobonichi on today's date as I was waiting for my haircut.

Richard @Darkbulb - that is fantastic. You're a natural artist!

That is so true. Everytime I look on Massdrop Writing Commuinty I see all those wonderful pens, inks, notebooks and covers....

I'd check that nose of yours Pinocchio to make sure it's not growing too long - but thanks

Very sought after black one at a great price. Now if you could just find the ultra rare white one

The orange barrel one is the hens teeth one...

Yes, forgot that one as I think its earlier than the black and white ones. I had a green one but don't know what happened to it.

hunnymonster · Saturday April 9, 2016

I had a green one at school. I still have it...

Nice they are rarer that the blue or black if I remember correctly. Prettier too!

Picked up a green Parker 25 Ballpoint pen w/ original Parker 25 case...

..and popped my green fountain pen into it to complete the set

Purty!

Nice one DB. How many have you got now?

Who's been buying up those Parker 25 fountain pens on eBay UK recently? Especially that metal black one; nice.

It's a nice feeling to restore an incomplete set Like that green scheme.

I got...
Blue: FP and RB
Black: FP
Green: BP and FP

So just five Parker 25s and I think I'm pretty happy with that. Until I come across a nice orange one on the cheap
The all white one doesn't, for whatever reason, do much for me.

You certainly have a pre-renaissance style which I'm assuming is more naive than deliberate but it is quite interesting.
