Of course, I have to write on behalf of the men in the group as they do not possess the imagination or the same writing skills as KR (with a few notable exceptions including the present company, of course!). I would not want to call them lazy!
So for the men, I will simply list what they have provided to me (with a few editorial comments where appropriate). The numbering of the pens in the table below has no significance.

| Editorial Comments | Of course, SS took this concept a bit too far. He went with the Acme combination FP/RB for practical reasons and left all his beautiful Watermans at home! | Ever the engineer, GG has to make sure that his ink has SolvX! | JP tried to break the rules and bring more pens than he was allowed. | If you want to see how much RM loves his Prussian Blue, you should see the lengths this man went to test this ink for the Fountain Pen Network! |
