My rotation (from left to right):

Namiki Nippon Art Maki-e Chinese Phoenix
Pilot Custom 912
Montblanc Meisterstück LeGrand 146 Bordeaux
Parker Duofold Centennial Prestige Blue Chevron
Waldmann Tuscany Rose Gold

Inks keep changing, and so I can't recall what's currently in each one.

Which nib on the 912? I think Pilot makes the best nibs on the market these days.

Waverly. I'm left-handed.

Thanks for the BB suggestions! Diamine is an obvious one I hadn't tried yet! Doh!

That’s a whole lot of lacquer going on. Almost inspires me to take a walk on the wild side and try some fugu (not gonna happen though).

Fugu is pretty good!

Got with a Soft-Fine nib, which I quite like.

Somehow the SF pen show is already next month. It moved closer to SF this year. It's now going to be at the Westin and Aloft on Bayshore, on the Millbrae side of the line apparently. From SFO, you could probably get a hotel shuttle, or go one station on BART and take a really long walk. It'll be really close to Peter's Cafe, where the Pen Posse goes. And it's close to It's It factory, so are there any locals willing to freeze some on Friday?

Or In-N-Out. And Aloft is supposed to have a ramen vending machine.

One guy from SoCal used to wear bow ties all the time. He may be down to once for the weekend. Aloha shirts are normal at pen shows. Kilts still haven't become normal yet.

Cant find the other fountain pen thread but my gf just bought me that pen from Farneys in dc.

SoCal people, who went already or is going to go to the new pen show down there? What I really mean is, how is it? I hate having to call it by its name, the California Pen Show.

I went last year, and it was good: lots of really interesting stuff and vendors show up there, and it's organized and spacious. I was in the area for this year's show, but the awful traffic was making me late for something else already, so I ran out of time to drop by.

Stopped by Nagasawa Penstyle Den on our day in Kobe.
Picked up a Nagasawa Profit matte black with 21k rhodium plated Sailor Nib in Med Fine.
It's wrapped up in an export package atm, but I'm looking forward to writing with it soon!

Anyone who makes it to Osaka should take time to stop by Nagasawas locations.
