At my desk I alternate between a black 805 Pelikan and my red urushi Dani trio (both medium.) In court I use my Namiki VP and a "51" which both dry up after a day or two of use which means i am stuck using...A bic retractable....the horror...the horror. peace

I've been using my Snorkel more lately--partly because I just had it repaired and I'm glad to have it back, partly because I've been filling it with PR Arabian Rose and I like the line it lays down with that ink.

At the moment it's a red Esterbrook transitional J.

I'd rather spend my money on pens instead of shoes and handbags.

I can't seem to put down my Navy Blue Pilot Knight with Private Reserve American Blue.... a few others come in and out of rotation, but my Knight is an extension of my hand.

 

I am, in fact, on my second pen--the first broke when tumbling out of my pocket in a parking lot--and i couldn't give up the original scratched and battered body of my original Knight. I simply replaced the section and nib with the lovingly-worn barrel and cap.

Visconti Van Gogh Maxi - Cappuccino with Visconti Blue ink.

Same here but in the blue model, filled with Caran d'Ache Caribbean Sea ink. With its fine nib it is the smoothest writer I have used and fits wonderfully in my hand. I am giving the green model as a present and will order the vanilla model which I will fill with Caran d'Ache Saffron ink. One of the great lower priced pens!

Today, I am playing around with my Lamy Safari 2009 edition / F nib which arrived on Saturday, trying out various inks.

Usually, I use a Sailor Professional Gear Rhodium trim EF nib inked with Sailor kiwa guro or a Pelikan M605 F nib inked with Private Reserve Black Magic Blue.

Mine is my Green Striped Pelikan M800.....perfection in my opinion.

 

My new Sheaffer 300 marbled blue pen. Lays down a nice wet line and is very smooth.

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

My pen the I use at least once a day is a Parker 51 stub filled with J Herbin Bleu Myosotis (I htink that's how it's spelled). In a close second this week is a Jinhao X750 medium filled with MB British Racing Green. It came with an ink lot I purchased - what a great bonus!

Right now, I'm bouncing between three pens, all with Binderized nibs:

a 1990s Parker Sonnet in the firedance finish, with a tiny cursive italic nib;

a new Parker Sonnet in the chiseled chocolate finish, again with a tiny cursive italic nib; and

a dark green Waterman Ici et La, with a super needlepoint nib.

 

I'll probably add a Pelikan M200 to the rotation in a few weeks.

Aurora 88 (black cap + nikargenta trim) with dream nib adjusted by a certain Mr Richard Binder - simply magical. Oh, filled with Parker Quink black.

The Parker 51 is in my shirt pocket, but I've been doing some very heavy notetaking this week at some foreclosure workshops, using a copper Estie dollar pen with a Gregg shorthand nib. I still like that nib for notetaking better than many of my much more expensive pens.

I'm Andy H and I approved this message.

Split amongst four: Mb StarWalker, Sheaffer Admiral "Halsey", Danitrio Komori, Pelikan M215 with a Keuning Monster Nib. Five -- Mb Historical.

 

The other four pens in rotation are being used, just not "the most."

I've stumbled across a Paragon new style and a 149, and an Aurora, that for some reason, are all I write with anymore.

 

Love 'em!

I'll take an Aurora, please. Aurora black.

I rotated my MB Greta Garbo with M nib for the MB Arturo Toscanini with F nib. That writes like as charm with Noodler's. Almost like a M now that I have written with it for almost 6 weeks. Somehow the Greta Garbo keeps skipping. Perhaps due to a baby-butt. I know other FPNers experienced similar problems. The Tiscanini has grown on me since.
