What Pen Did You Get Today?

[cmenice]

Danitrio Densho ED Red Urushi finish with a flexy F nib. It's really gorgeous. More like a light cranberry/dark strawberry color.

I got a Royal Blue Waterman Carene today. Last pen I'm going to buy for a while - it's getting expensive fast.

What are you making of the Tombow? I really like the look of that one.

Thus far (all of a day), I really like it. It really is a beautiful thing, it has a nice smooth nib, and the carbon fibre feels good in your hand. J-san's review mentions that shape of the section might worry some: I find that I hold the pen up on the carbon fibre, so it isn't an issue for me.

Burgundy Parker Parkette with a medium parkette nib and the stepped ends and clip.

Two Lamy Safari's, Blue and Red with black clips, both fine point black nibs.

Lamy 2000, XF nib.

 

This thing... It's amazing.

 

There is absolutely no possible way any pen could ever be any smoother, or the size any better, or the weight any better. It's pen perfection.

Delta Dolce Vita OS with fine nib, courtesy of Pam Braun. The pen is absolutely gorgeous. It's my poor man's MB Hemingway. Can't wait to ink this bad boy.

Thanks. I'd not seen that review, but I definitely think I'll be getting one of those.

A Hero 590 chrome that doesn't work. Leaks badly. ugh. Vendor is very kindly sending a replacement that I'll have to wait for. And this was my first FP

Two, count em, TWO NOS Eversharp Symphony 703's, (3rd Gen) - One in Burgundy with a flex fine, the other in forest green with a flex medium. Sweet smooth pens.

Lady Sheaffer XVI for my GF. I hope she'll like it.

[dogpoet]

A telescoping Rotring Esprit I'd ordered arrived today. My first encounter with a fine nib, no less.

[playpen]

My latest is the Sailor Chalana. It is an adorable pen!

[Romagno]

Not today, but 2 weeks ago I got a Sheaffer Legacy, black lacquer with Palladium-plated cap that has a broad gold cap band. It has an incredibly smooth, medium Sheaffer inlaid nib, and writes BEAUTIFULLY.

 

Thanks to Todd at ISELLPENS.COM (usual disclaimer) for a great price and wonderful service

Today I became the proud owner of a near-perfect Waterman Nº 7 "Ripple" with a Pink nib. I've never seen a better Nº 7, and with a Pink this one absolutely roolz.

2 days ago, actually, received back the Conklin S3 slip cap crescent filler I sent out some months ago to Joel Hamilton for some TLC. It isn't a perfect pen, but it sure is looking a lot better than when it went out! Has a nice new sac, cracked nib has been replaced, it's been polished up (most all the oxidation came off with polishing and no reblackening), the original pen clip looks nice and shiny, and it had a new cap band added to help prevent a couple of tiny cracks from expanding or getting worse since they can't really be repaired. The pen really does look beautiful, now. Into the Twain Collection it goes for my friend's doctoral gift next spring!

A 1946 third quarter Dove Gray Parker 51 Vac with a smooth fine point nib and brushed Chrome cap. Freshly restored, filled with Quink blue black and going in the pocket tomorrow!!

A Visconti Pericles 2001 from my local B&M store. First italian pen, very wet writer!

[StephY]

A long awaited Marlen Basilea. Thank you, Mr. Partridge!
