Today I am using my new Lamy 2000 with extra fine nib, inked with Sailor Blue Black. It is a nice wet writer, which I like, but the feel and width of the nib I do not like. I am writing with it more extensively today to see if I'd really like to send it off to a nibmeister to have it ground to something more reasonably identifiable as "extra fine"...

So far today it's been the blue Cross Solo, B nib, with Akkerman Dutch Masters Stormachig Blauw, and a Cobalt Noodler's FPC, flex nib, with Noodler's Heart of Darkness.

For me today, it was an Edison Herald in Copper Flake, inked in Fritz Schimpf Sundowner, and one of my oldest companions, a classic (but not quite vintage) Pelikan M600 in black with green stripes, inked with Edelstein Tanzanite.

oh, I do need to try this at home!, I have this same set up but the Lamy nib keeps slipping off...

advice?

(I fixed the rusting screw issue but this one is still bugging me...)

I have a tendency to use multiple pens each day.

 

Today, I actually inked up both of my Pilot Vanishing Points - my fine nib with Aakerman Dutch Masters Israel Sea Blue, and the other is a stub nib with Sailor Manyo Akebi . Both are very nice pens and the inks seem to work well in them.

 

I have also been using my Waterman Carene with DeAtramentis 225 Years of the US Constitution, as well as my Leonardo Momento Zero Red Marbled with a fine point with J. Herbin Rouge Bourgoyne.

 

All wonderful pens with equally enjoyable inks.

Today, for once, I only have one pen inked.

 

That pen is a Pelikan M805 with a bi-coloured ‘F’ nib, and it is loaded with Pelikan Edelstein Olivine.
(A sensible precaution, in case I feel a sudden, pressing need to pen an angry Jeremiad to a newspaper editor or to my MP )
