Just curious @NurseDave. How many pens do you keep inked up at any given time?
Usually around 8. 3 have specific purposes and 5 in a pen pouch I take to work.

Do you have any issues with them being hard to start or drying out?
Only after many weeks and then I usually just open it up and twist the converter a little. The ones that sit over a month tend to just dry out and get cleaned and refilled.

I’ve found that the ink plays a big part in hard starts. I have 2 Organic Studio inks that always cause hard starts regardless of how long they’ve been sitting. Noodler’s on the other hand can sit forever without issue.

So my very modest pen collection which consisted of the Conklin, Pilot Metro and two Pelikan inks was bolstered the weekend by a benefactor. Not only was the company, coffee and Natas exceptional but @woodpusher generosity unrivalled! So now many more exceptionally fine inks and pens to play with! Thanks Sam! Plus the HE Washer stuff…

Super cool, and even better to hear he didn't push any of that Peach whiskey on you as part of the deal! The 5 O'clock shadow ink is awesome just for the label!So my very modest pen collection which consisted of the Conklin, Pilot Metro and two Pelikan inks was bolstered the weekend by a benefactor.

Also, unless I am wrong, created with input from some distinguished folks also seen at the other place. It is a fantastic green/black
The peach whiskey was a non-starter...
Top Secret HE cleaner. Hmmmm…
Honestly Sam has been pushing the stuff for months….he secretly snuck it in the bottom of the box of goodies!
Now tempted to mix it with some Vodka? Yes…

Nice pickup, Dave! It looks great.

That is a very cool pen, never seen one of them before either.
TBH for real life work, I'd rather have a steel nib, they can just take a little more abuse than a soft gold nib and you don't feel like you have to be afraid to use then away from the desk.

That is a beautiful and unique pen Dave. Congratulations on the purchase!
