My favorite pen, Sailor Pro Gear Realo. I really love how smooth the NIB is when writing and the see through ink window.

I took my Omas Ludovico Einaudi to work and it ran flawless as usual. The interesting thing was I did some journaling tonight with a Visconti Millennium arc that I transferred a stub nib too and it seemed to run great. Got about 1/2 page in and ran out of ink. This pen has been running drooling moose wet lately so I was surprised to see it putting down a nice useful line. I'm guessing the half a page was written with remaining ink in the feed. It was highly saturated J Herbin Emerald of Chivor of which is not usually how this ink presents itself. I suspect something is up with the ink sack but not sure what just yet.

Beautiful colors on that pen.

Thank you Sir! It has a pearl effect in the resin. The white is very interesting in person. The edges are dead sharp in the resin then it just, stops, where they turned the diameter of the pen body. Like sectioned lightning. Really cool. I just wish the pen was a little more squared off. The styling is a little too "organic" for me but I do still enjoy it. I picked it up new for pennies on the dollar and it is a limited edition of 200

With all this Omas talk lately, I fired up a Paragon noir that I have not used in a few months.

I used my DJ Kennedy FP. I felt a bit strange this morning when I woke up so thought it was fitting given my demeanor.

You could say "reliable"! What is the ink you're using? I love the colour.

I have one of each, but they have different size nibs so for me they are hard to compare. I will say they both write terrifically smooth and are a joy to use.

Looking forward to your review.

Got one of my recent acquisitions from Jim out today. An older Omas Paragon with a 14kt nib. Great pen!
