conidpen party. I love my Sailors and Pilots, but these are my “cold dead hands” pens. The @fontoplumo Minimalistica is a recent arrival (thanks, Frank!) and I’ve noticed a couple of things: 1) the new o-ring is a huge improvement over previous ones, which made uncapping a massive pain for me, and 2) this one is numbered 75/75, leading me to believe that these are being produced in batches of 25 pens. . . #fountainpen #conid #conidpen #stationery #notebook #montblancink #sailorink #journal #penaddict #fpn #fpgeeks

Given that I’m a compulsive ink switcher, emptying a CON-70 feels like an accomplishment. Pen is the Akashi 90th anniversary Pilot CH912 Beppu, ink was Writing Lab Old Burgundy. . . . #fountainpen #pilotpen #pilotch912 #penandmessage #sailorink #tomoeriver #stationery #notebook #fpn #fpgeeks #penaddict

For three years, I used the @hobonichi1101 Techo as a daily journal rather than as a planner, which felt like a waste. So, this year, I thought I’d change things up and use an official Tomoe River notebook. I was worried the lack of pre-printed pages might lend itself to skipping days, but so far so good. 📔🖋 . . . #journal #journaling #stationery #handwriting #pilotpen #sailorpen #sailorink #tomoeriverpaper #tomoeriver #notebook #hobonichi #hobonichitecho #fpn #fpgeeks #penaddict #fountainpen

Work setup. I was this close to selling this guy, but ended up getting a new cap for it instead and I’m so glad I did. Completely rekindled my love for this pen. Adding a Pilot WA nib (thanks, Joey @flexiblenibfactory) didn’t hurt. . . #fountainpen #bujo #conid #conidpen #kobeha #graphilo #sailorink #pilotpen #stationery #stationeryaddict #fpn #fpgeeks #penaddict #handwriting

For funsies, I wanted to see if I could emulate some of my favorite cha-related Sailor inks with the new Taccia inks. Paper is Midori MD Cotton. . . #fountainpen #fountainpenink #sailorink #tacciaink #stationery #handwriting #pilotpen #midori #paper

When a pen friend sends you an inky care package so lovely that you carefully dissect it to extricate its contents without ruining it. . . #fountainpen #fountainpenink #penpal #sailorink #sailorpen #stationery #stationeryaddict #fpgeeks #fpn #penaddict

I usually prefer my tea-themed inks on the murky green end of things, but Taccia Cha is a lovely surprise. . . #fountainpen #handwriting #conidpen #conid #taccia #tacciaink #tomoeriver #stationery #fpn #fpgeeks #penaddict #naginatatogi

Out and about without decent paper, so had to improvise… . . #fountainpen #handwriting #lamy #lamy2000 #montblancink #handwritingday #fpn #penaddict #fpgeeks

Trying out my first Zoom nib. Completely impractical, but fun AF. . . #fountainpen #fountainpenink #kobeink #conid #conidpen #sailorpen #tomoeriverpaper #tomoeriver #nanamipaper #crossfield #handwriting #stationery #penaddict #fpn #fpgeeks

12 (!) years ago, while studying abroad, I picked up these two bottles of ink and then left them at my parents’ house before returning to the US.

I finally grabbed them during my last trip to France, but wasn’t sure what to expect after so many years.

Conclusion: Montblanc Racing Green was a gorgeous ink and I still don’t get why they discontinued it. 🤷🏼‍♂️ . . #fountainpen #conidpen #lamy2000 #montblancink #omasink #tomoeriver #penaddict #fpgeeks #cursive #handwriting #fountainpenink #fpn

I really wish these inks were still available online. I also wish @sailor.pen hadn’t messed with the Naginata-togi line. Glad I got these while they were available. . . . #fountainpen #sailorpen #sailorink #joyful2 #andersonpens #kobeha #handwriting #journaling #stationery #fpn #fpgeeks #penaddict

I’ve been dreaming of this particular combo ever since getting my first Bulkfiller. Thanks @flexiblenibfactory for making it possible! @pensandgaming I think you’ll be pleased. 👍🏼 Sailor Naginata-togi MF in a @conidpen Bulkfiller filled with Ishida Bungu Hakodate Gagome. . . . #fountainpen #nibspotter #conid #conidpen #sailorpen #naginatatogi #ishidabungu #tomoeriver #stationery #handwriting #fpgeeks #penaddict #fpn

More fall colors. I’m finding myself drawn to muted, subtle colors right now. These inks are Kobe #45 and Kobe Ginza Gold Sepia.

My feed has been very @conidpen heavy lately and one reason is their versatility. One of them is currently sporting my favorite non-Sailor nib, an Aurora nib @thenibsmith put an awesome Naginata-togi grind on. The other is also a NT-like grind, put on a Jowo nib by @pablo_carrasco_gimena and made possible in this Conid by a housing made by @flexiblenibfactory 👍🏼 . . . #conidpen #fountainpen #journaling #penaddict #fpn #fpgeeks #nibsmith #fpnibs #kobeink

This ink arrived recently and I really, really like it. A lovely fall color. 🍂 . . . #fountainpen #conidpen #journaling #tomoeriver #cultpens #diamine #ink #fpn #fpgeeks #penaddict

Don’t ask me why I get such a kick out of putting @aurorapens nibs in @conidpen pens… 🤷🏼‍♂️ Inks are Montblanc Shakespeare Velvet Red (if you have bottles you’d like to get rid of, let me know!) and Monteverde Horizon Blue. . . . #conidpen #aurorapen #montblancink #monteverdeink #tomoeriver #handwriting #notebook #nanami #crossfield #fountainpen #fpgeeks #fpn #penaddict
