New to the site, not to fountain pens
Greetings, fountain pen enthusiasts!
I use fountain pens exclusively other than signing cc and debit card slips. I write with multiple pens, and write every day.
Currently inked -- Franklin Christophe 46; Kaweco Steel Sport; two Karas Kreations pens; Lamy 2000; Pilot Custom 823; Lamy Imporium (the cap is horrible); and a few others.
Inks in use include Diamine Earl Grey (not a fan of the shade, but well-behaved ink); Blackbird Peacock Teal (Blackbird is made by Maby Todd in England); Herbin Blue de Profondeurs; Diamine Asa Blue; Pelikan 4001 Königsblau (Royal Blue); DeArtamentis Alexander Hamilton (aubergine (purple)); Bungu Box Sapphire; and Pilot Iroshizuku Take-sumi (black).
I'm not very adventurous with colors, but really appreciate shades of blue.
And, yes, I clean my pens frequently.
Brad

Hi Brad and welcome :)
Nice pens there, and some great ink too - I love Earl Grey!
(and I don't clean my pens nearly often enough)

Welcome home. Pull up a stump and set a spell.

What setting do you use on the dishwasher? I know I clean my vintage pens more than their original owners ever did!
