I am looking to put together a maintenance kit for my pens and was wondering: do you have any particular supplies that you prefer to use for your pens? What storage solution do you use for your maintenance kit? Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

I just have a plastic pot containing all that stuff.

  • the pot itself for filling with water for soaks
  • a bulb syringe for flushing.
  • a plastic shim (the one that comes with pilot parallel) for cleaning between tynes.
  • a little container of tissue paper for standing a pen in for wicking.
  • a spring syringe for cleaning inside converters and inking up.
  • a loupe for inspecting nibs
