A very easy one... I'm too lazy:

Congrats Yazeh! Well done!

And thank you mizgeorge for sharing your new pen with us. I confess that I haven't gotten too much into Japanese pens. I had a Namiki VP that I used in grad school and liked it, but the new Pilot VPs are not nearly as nice as my older Namiki VP. And now I gravitate towards wider nibs, especially obliques, stubs, cursive italics - as long as they are wet. Of course, several people tell me I need to invest in a flex nib and others tell me I must get a Sailor, etc. etc.

And yes, any color is allowed in a black pen - even bubble gum pink! At least, that is what my MBs tell me.

I also tend to use Waterman as my test ink, but it seemed fitting to use a Pilot ink in a Pilot pen. I also recently acquired my first 'proper' Sailor, and quite like that too, though I find the nib very unyielding compared to my usual vintage or European pens. I've liked the look of the FA nib for a while though, and so far I like it a lot. Once it's got enough ink coming through to not railroad, I suspect I may love it. I don't think I'm going to be getting a lot of them though - I find most of the 'nicer' Japanese pens very overpriced compared to my usual choices, and I've also got a bit of a weakness for clever modern acrylics - mainly because they're so effortless to use and I can fit them with fun nibs.

Ironically, I'm more likely to pick up a dip pen than anything else most of the time.

Did I just flush this out of a pen?
Is it Noodler’s Eel Black? (I don’t think it is, but I’ll try it anyway!)
