I just couldn't help myself...I had to get a new color for my stash.
Just got this in the mail yesterday, Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Roses.

Stunning!

Nice. The Ocean Bleu looks like it would be lovely in a broad nib.
If that one comes up again in a month before I spend my allowance I'l have to pick it up.
... Like I ned more ink...
That is my Go-to ink. Use it every day.
I went to the Mont Blanc Boutique to buy a bottle of ink. The sale associate kindly let me know they were having a sale on some of their fountain pens.
The Boheme is beautiful. It's silky smooth to write with and has a really sweet retractable nib. The Boheme Blue ink is quite possibly my new favorite. The color is a beautiful blue that has a veers every so slightly towards turquoise. The Chopin has a nice classic look to it. The nib isn't nearly as smooth as the Boheme, but is by no means scratchy or bad. I'm not a fan of Oyster Grey though. It's too light for my tastes and has a very very slight brown tint when it's wet that (thankfully) disappears when it's dry. Maybe I'll grow to like it more, but it's the first Mont Blanc ink that I haven't immediately liked.
Not pictured is a bottle of Mont Blanc Royal Blue, Toffee Brown, and Johnathan Swift. The mailman happened to bring me a bottle of J. Herbin Bleu Ocean, reformulated with the gold particles similar to Stormy Grey. Today was a good day.

I picked up a red Esterbrook Phaeton 300. It appears to be a Med nib. It also came with the Esterbrook converter, box and instruction sheet.

Tom, that looks pretty cool...I was unaware that Esterbrooks made pens with converters too! Reminds me of a Parker 21 in looks.
TWISBI 580AL inbound. The Orange versions are running out fast, got mine while I could.
Luv me some Black Swan in Aussie Roses, I use it frequently!
I think its time for a new thread for June! I am looking forward to a Model 02 Franklin-Christoph in emerald green.
