Today, using a trio of gold and black pens, two of which are my father's.

My Pilot Custom 823

Dad's 1992 Parker Duofold (he got it right after I was born)

Dad's 1970s Montblanc 149

The MB just came back from MB for some cleaning and nib adjustment, but it's in stellar and original condition. My dad took extremely good care of it, it's practically scratchless. Lived in a nice pen case on his desk at work, basically just used it to sign briefs, filings, motions, etc.

I wish I could use it for that stuff, but nowadays we e-sign all our filings

I feel you pain. In this digital age we live in, I don't even know why we spend our money on these crazy pens? Further to just using a computer, I have a Microsoft Surface device and use the digital pen to take down my notes for ease of storing and future reference. Now I need to go out of my way to write stuff just to use nice pens.

Today was a Nemosine Singularity in Azalea with an EF nib and Pilot Iroshizuku Tsutsuji. I just felt like writing with it today.

 

Same thing with my Levenger True Writer, F nib with Visconti Green ink.

 

Today I got a Sheaffer Calligraphy pen 2.0 nib in my iPenBox. I haven't inked it up--and I don't know if I ever will. I thought I was being edgy with a broad nib Nemosine re-entry broad nib swapped into a Jinhao x750. Since nearly all my pens are F or EF with only a couple of M nibs thrown in, a broad nib was a radical departure for me. So what am I going to do with a 2.0 nib pen? I'm breaking out in hives at the thought.

 

Also: I've continued my track record of buying a bottle of ink, only to get a sample of it in my iPenbox or an order from IPenstore. What is it with those people and sending me samples of inks I just bought? I got a bottle of Monteverde Mandarin Orange only two weeks ago (not from them), and what arrives in my iPenbox? A sample of Monteverde Mandarin Orange! Last month, I bought a bottle of Iroshizuku Ku-Jaku, and--I'm not kidding--three days later, here comes the iPenBox, with a sample of Ku-Jaku in it!

 

This is at least the fifth time this is happened, and it's getting way too creepy.

It may not be the most prestigious Sailor, and it's also my only Sailor. But today I'm writing with my new Sailor Fasciner. I actually adore this pen! It's cute and sturdy, and I love the rose gold-esque trim on the ivory body. The nib was dry and scratchy out of the box, but after a bit of gentle fiddling, I'm pleased with the flow!
