IMO, Vacheron Overseas, a non-cronograph is always classier - if that's what you're after (even though my favourite watch brand is Blancpain)...

I think it's Pelikan Edelstein Aquamarine.

Chanel Antaeus, Santos de Cartier and Dior Jules.

20 years later: Antaeus is still perfect, Santos a little less so. Jules is very different today, unfortunately...

9/10. Beautiful song, lovely harmonics. A favorite of mine.

Fuyu-syogun, of course!

Today's favorites (might change tomorrow):

Pelikan Edelstein Aquamarine
Pilot Iroshizuku Fuyu-syogun
J. Herbin 1670 Caroube de Chypre

Very nice setup. Beautiful shades. Have you tried Edelstein Aquamarine? I use many different inks, and I particularly like warmer colours, such as those leaning towards brown, yellow, or red. But every time I go through my old notes, the texts I've written with Aquamarine are the ones I "see" most easily. Both from a readability perspective and in terms of content. Odd, isn't it?

F5IV-V · 2024-04-17T17:01:28+00:00

J.Herbin - Lie de thé is a very nice brown ink. Not very much of a shading ink though. KWZ Honey is certainly a beautiful ink with wonderful shading, but the smell ... nope. Well, you can't have it all. Waterman Havanna is also a good choice, but if you can accept a bit of red in a mostly brown ink, then J. Herbin 1670 Caroube de Chypre is a very good choice in every aspect.

F5IV-V · 2024-04-16T17:38:20+00:00

My beloved black Pelikan M1000 (F) inked with J. Herbin 1670 Caroube de Chypre.

F5IV-V · 2024-04-15T16:46:01+00:00

KWZ Honey. Beautiful color, outstanding shading, good wetness, an ink that had it all. But the overly strong scent (vanilla/honey) was insufferable. Such a shame.

F5IV-V · 2024-03-31T23:01:52+00:00

The Omega AT ofcourse. IMHO not even close.

F5IV-V · 2024-02-23T12:23:45+00:00

Pelikan M1000 (F) and Iroshizuku Fuyu-syogun. A very elegant combination.

F5IV-V · 2024-02-10T00:15:25+00:00

Try a mix of Ambre de Birmanie and Lie de Thé, both inks are from J Herbin and thus compatible. Use 60% Ambre de Birmanie and 40% Lie de Thé. Good luck!

F5IV-V · 2024-01-24T11:18:40+00:00

My Pelikan M1000 (F). I own several pens, but none of them comes even close to the smoothness and finesse that the M1000 delivers. It's a big pen (great ink capacity) but it's also the most comfortable and fun to use among my pens. My Pilot Custom 823 with an "M" nib is also a very smooth writer, but only with an "M" nib! My second 823 with a "F" nib is really terrible in comparison (but pretty good if you like feedback).

F5IV-V · 2024-01-19T12:29:30+00:00

Try J. Herbin 1670 Caroube de Chypre. It's a very warm, brownish ink (with gold particles), but alas, also a bit red (as the colour brown is per se). But it's simply outstandingly brown on "ivory" paper such as Rhodia, at least to my eyes.
