What Pens Are You Using Today 2017

[Guardy]

• Zebra G pen dip nib - Standardgraph cornflower blue (probably), because badly executed fancy writing is fun

Geha Schulfüller, early 1950's - Pelikan blue black, to compare it to...

... Kaigelu 316 - Pelikan blue black. One of those pens was probably built with IG inks in mind, one wasn't - and man, does it show.

Picasso 915 - Diamine Oxblood. Still too dang pretty.

Wing Sung 322 - Pelikan dark green. This one's gonna go to its new home tomorrow, so I'm finishing up my testing. Seems to work brilliantly now.

Sheaffer Imperial (...?) - Diamine Oxblood. Used to run dry after half a page of writing and now somehow doesn't. Fine by me, hah

Whatever else I randomly grab from the pen box.
