Today's pen is the Parker 51:

Also known as the most popular fountain pen ever made. The original production run lasted from 1941 to 1972 and sold at least 20 million pens.

As simple as it looks, it has some features that were groundbreaking at the time. The cap is a slip cap, when everybody else was using screw threads. The nib is tube shaped, making it especially rugged. Said nib is protected by a plastic hood so that only the point sticks out, to minimize drying when uncapped.

And the plastic is acrylic, which has stood the test of time. No cracking, no shrinking, no weird discoloration. Look at this sleek little bullet of a pen!

It's a nice size, lightweight and well balanced. And it writes beautifully.

Also, fun fact, this was Queen Elizabeth II's favorite pen. She had a red one.

I think in any industry there's a model that just works. Like, all the engineering comes together in such a way that you get exactly what you were aiming for. There are prettier fountain pens than the 51, and many more expensive. But the 51 is pure Fountain Pen in the best way.

I’m working on an art project which requires me to swatch a lot of inks by obtaining a lot of samples.

You will all be getting my unsolicited opinions about bottled inks. Here’s a sampler:

Sailor inks are for the rich. Noodler’s did some shit and you shouldn’t support them. I wrote three words in Organics Studio 5 months ago and it’s still smearing on my hands and over everything oh god oh god to this day. Ferris Wheel Press is my nemesis in this life and the previous.

Fountain Pen Review: PLUS x Sailor - First Snow ProGear Slim (Special Edition), Ice Gray Ink and A4 Slim Notebook

The packaging, which is a lovely pale blue with silver foil snowflakes, says “PLUS x Sailor” but the listing that I found online focused on the Sailor Pro Gear Slim First Snow fountain pen with very little mention of the additional items included in the set: PLUS x Sailor Ice Gray Ink and Ca.Crea A4 Slim Notebook. The full set, whatever its official title, was €217 from Fontoplumo (I bought the…

i got samples of 3 of the new sailor manyo inks today (ayame, koke, and hinoki) so here are my swatches and comparisons! sorry my calligraphy is so fucking uneven i was suffering from shaky hand syndrome!

these are multishaders and of course the shading shows up best on tomoe river, but i also tested them on cosmo air light and the shading was present there too, though less pronounced. the level of shading on the col-o-ring swatches is consistent with how the inks look on tomoe.

i think ayame is my favorite, because it already looks like a combination of two inks i really like, but i'm interested to see how these hold up long term! i like the manyo line quite a bit so i was really excited for these :>

My Summer Six Pack Isn't Made Of Beer

After months of testing nibs and writing reviews, the crew on my desk exploded into a massive invasion. Eighteen is simply too many so now it’s back to a smaller group of pens and inks. Last summer two bent nib pens were all I wanted, but this year I added fines and extra fines. I’m calling them my six pack. These are the ones that made the cut: Jinhao 82 EF Transparent Gray and Diamine…

Inkmas Day 1: Sailor Irori

Long before there was Inkvent, there was Inkmas and we are delighted to dash through your internet with a little splash of holiday inky cheer. I decided to do some quick reviews of some of my favorite inks this year. They aren’t the newest inks or the most popular brands of ink right now but these are inks that are tried-and-true favorites. Jesi and Laura will take there own approaches to Inkmas…
