I would have to say the blues family. Right I am using herbin's bleu nuit. It is a nice color. I like the way it starts out violet then dries to a nice blue/black.Here is a review I did on FPN.Quote:

Very nice, Hutch. I don't have any Marlens, but they are great pens. I had a red Sailor 1911 with an XF nib. Sailors have some of the best nibs going nowadays. My wife liked it, which surprised me as she tends toward stub nibs. I got her a red 1911M for Christmas last year because she doesn't like oversized pens. She surprised me again when she told me she preferred the o/s 1911. So I swapped with her. I have enough o/s pens and the 1911M fits my pocket better.

I was about to check-out with my purchases, when the store owner showed me a couple of the Marlens, and I couldn't resist, so I bought it.
I agree the Sailor nib is just perfect, nice and fine, perfect flow and as smooth as butter.
The Marlen is beautiful but the nib is a little too wide and there is too much flow for me but I lucked out, we have a nib-meister that is local. I emailed him and he took my pen right away and I will be getting it back in the next couple of days with a fine nib and the flow to match.
Just curious, who's the nib meister?

One of my favorite penmakers os Brian Gray or Edison Pens, Edison Pen Company he si to pens what I am to strops it seems. He is a true craftsman with customer service that won't quit. I got a nice capucino Pearl Eyedropper filler from Brian this Christmas.
