    Default Any excuse for a quick photo shoot

    Shout out to pen friend Machinist Paul for the idea - why not? (He was completely over "Flexy Friday") I don't tend to go real wide in my nib choices, nothing beyond a B, but here are a couple I just love and use all the time:

    • Pelikan M805 "Metal Stripes" with sharp italic grind by Dan Smith (done when purchased)
    • Aurora Optima 365 (Fall 2015) with another CI grind, this one by wonderman Michael Masuyama.


    The inks are Robert Oster Moss and Pelikan 4001 Blue/Black. Have a fat weekend!

    Gorgeous pens! Great idea. I dig that Moss ink color too. I have a couple fat nib pens I could use for next Friday.

    I hadn't written with the Aurora in a couple days and the Moss is a fair bit darker than usual. The nice part is that it has a lot of shading. Honestly? It has been my go-to ink for condolence cards and similar thoughts. It has a lot of character but comes across like you are speaking softly to the person. I like that.

    Great photo. Thank you.

    I wish my Aurora Optima 365 had a nib like that rather than the F one that it came with. If it did, I might actually write with it.
