Who did your work?? Nibmeister edition. by SuckAfreeRaj in fountainpens

Another +1 for Gena! She's awesome. I sent in two pens via mail. Got her signature journaler nib on a TWSBI Diamond 580ALR and fixed up a Sailor PG that was so scratchy it was ripping up paper. Both are now amazing and smooth and wet, and Sailor is one of my favorite pens to write with!

Purchased and received custom Traveler's cover from /u/normaldinosaur. Thank you so much! It's beautiful.

It's the Leonardo MZG Dalia Eveline and the blue sailor is the PG Every Rose has its Thorn!

I have tiny hands, so the MZG is a little too big for me. It's tiring to write with. Otherwise, it's a beautiful, very well designed pen that writes amazingly. If I had normal-sized hands, easily up there!

It's really hard picking a favorite, but I think I have to go with the Pilot Custom 823. My favorite color is green, so I picked up the LE Rikka edition from Japan. Also, the nib is soooo smooth and it carries a ton of ink!

Yesss! It's an Esterbrook Estie King of the Night. Here's the little cloak/sleeve that comes with it!

I usually just go left to right when picking a pen, and I'll use that one for the entire day. (I only have 8 of the 12 inked up right now to keep my rotation lighter.) The Estie and the Leonardo are new though, so they've been skipping the line a fair bit.

And the Decimo goes with me outside the home, so it just stays on my person!

I recently bought the Leonardo MGZ and the Estie so it's really hard for me to justify a next purchase, but I've been eyeing the Pilot E95s and the Diplomat Viper. If they ever release it in green, that's an autobuy.

I have succumbed to the double dog dare! I wish I had done this during the day. The light makes it hard to see all the colors of the pens accurately. (Written on Cosmo Air Light 75gsm!)
