Today, on 22nd May 2017 - I'm using:

 

1. Aurora 88 Anniversary Blue - with flexible nib and Pilot's Iroshizuku Tsuki-Yo ink

 

2. Waterman's 94 vintage, Silver Pearl and Red, #4 nib - with same ink

 

 

Decided to use Aurora all day, as much as I can so I can have some proper verdict on this one.

Although, I must admit, now I'm confused... everybody seems to be upping pics to this thread, but it turns out there's a 'show us what pen' thread just down the road...?!

 

 

Confusion probably arises on account of both having similar titles, I have admit I was wondering the same thing & where to post.

For journal writing at home:

 

(top) Esterbrook 442 nib (stub italic)

(bottom) Esterbrook 048 nib

 

And the inks being used are Pelikan 4001 royal blue, Waterman green, Waterman brown, Visconti bordeaux, Higgins eternal black.

The usual suspects for me. My L2K medium, but Pilot VP, broad and Pelikan M600, medium.

 

I'm thinking of dropping one though. There are fewer and fewer ops to use them at work. Usually the only time I take a hand written note is when someone catches me on the fly, and then I use the Duofold roller I clip to my shirt everyday.

A cedar blue English vac P51 with stub nib and a 1949 aero plum P51 with broadish medium nib. A MB 146 with springy broad nib is also inked.

An old "disposable" Berol Fontaine that I pried the end cap off of and reloaded with Lamy Turquoise. It has one of my smoothest and most reliable nibs, so it was worth turning 'disposable' into 'reusable'.

It's been a busy morning:

Parker 45, M nib -- Noodler's La Coleur Royale

Noodler's FPC, flex nib -- diluted Noodler's North African Violet

Parker 61, M nib -- diluted De Atramentis Apple Blossom

Pelikan M 405 Streseman, B nib -- diluted Edelstein Amethyst

Parker 51 Vac, EF nib -- vintage Quink Microfilm Black

 

And that's because it is apparently time to refill or flush a bunch of pens....

Had a minor sesh today:

 

Pilot Parallel 1.5

Jinhao X750 w Noodlers italic flex

Hero 187

Waterman 32

Swan Calligraph

Manuscript Dodec (x2)

 

all with Pilot blue or black in, except the Dodecs which have Manuscript sepia and red in.

A week ago, I returned from my business trip to Leiden (Netherlands) and I used the opportunity to shop some new items for my collection.

 

I bought Kaweco Supra Brass (medium) fountain pen while in Leiden and I'm very pleased with it. I love it and I carry it everywhere.

 

 

 

I also purchased several nibs (not available in Serbia) for my Lamy pens. The other inked pen is Lamy Al Star and I replaced its stock medium nib with a stainless steel, stub one, 1.1mm wide.
