What Pens Are You Using Today 2

Spent the day writing with my trusty Esterbrook M2 (black) with 9668 nib, loaded with Herbin Perle Noire. Came home from work to find that my "deep yellow" Pilot VP (steel F nib) arrived. Not bad shipping; it left Tokyo two days ago.

 

I loaded it up with Noodler's Habanero, although I really wanted to put the Burma Road Brown in it; my wife thought that was unacceptable for some reason. <shrug> Turns out she was right. When the Habanero dries, it's almost exactly the same color as the pen's body.

Today I used a lowly Parker Vector with a fine nib, inked with Noodler's Black after work. I forgot my key to my desk at work, so I had to get by with a ballpoint for the entire day before I got home -horror-

Today I have been using my trusty Lamy 2000, a Jinhao 159 at work for taking meeting notes, and my Pelikan M600 with Pelikan Green ink to do some journaling. I just popped into my local pen store and left a old Parker Vacumatic and a Conway Stewart lever fill to be restored.

Inked up ALL of my pens with Pelikan Brilliant Black in an attempt to finish my first bottle of ink.

Should take a while to run them dry.

I have a similar project. I got a brand new bottle of Pelikan Königsblau with a pen, so I'm trying to empty an old bottle to make room for Noodler's Kung Te-Cheng. Next thing I know, I've got nine pens inked up with Königsblau.

 

But today, I used a Cross Aventura with Lamy Blue-Black.

Still enjoying putting my twsbi Eco through its paces. I filled it with private reserve tanzanite over a month ago, and it's still going strong. I did just get some new ink samples in, so this weekend may be playing with something else.

The second fountain pen that I ever purchased a Pilot Metropolitan with Pilot Namiki Black cartridge. I am brand new to fountain pens. I am awaiting ink in the mail to fill up my Platinum 3776 Century. (I asked a question about this pen in another thread) and Noodlers Ahab that I just received today.

My trusty Lamy 2000 when I took down notes after my morning reading, my Pelikan M200 for journaling, and I just finished writing a letter to a new pen pal I met on this forum with my trusty new Pelikan M600 loaded with Pelikan Adventurine ink. Note taking at work everyday I use my ever working Jinhao 159.

Notes at work: Pelikan M800, EF, DA Sherlock Holmes. The combination of pen, ink and paper (a no name, "made in EU" notebook) results in a pretty thick line, certainly not my idea of extra-fine, but for quick scribbles at work, this is actually quite nice. The M800 nib almost sings as it moves across the paper.

My notes needed a bit of colour, so I added a TWSBI Diamond 580, 1.1 mm stub, Diamine Syrah to the mix.
