I am cycling through all my pens in a year. My carry usually has one vintage pen and one contemporary pen in it.

So far it's been my Christmas present -- a NOS Parker Vector Geometic, M nib, with diluted Straits Pens Storm Warning (the LE ink commissioned by the COPC for their table at last fall's Ohio Pen Show). But I've got my ebonite Konrad, flex nib, with Noodler's El Lawrence at hand.

Apart from continuing to test and break in my new Santini Italia Calypso Mother-of-Pearl pen, with which I'm doing more writing than I usually do in a day, I'm also using my Opus 88 Picnic in purple because I needed to write in a colour that really stands out on the page:

I am starting the day with my Pelikan 140 (F) and M200 Blue Marbled (old style)(OB) in my shirt pocket. We will see what gets used most.... one of those or something else. I have about 9 others inked as well.

I’m boring I guess.....I have a rotation of 5 Parker 51’s that I have inked in some variant of purple or blue from Diamine. Although I did trade for a new Leonardo Furore in the deep purple today..... I’m amazed at how smooth this F steel nib writes in Diamine Imperial Blue

My wife's new Aurora 888 Nettuno, because I needed a pen with interchangeable nibs against which to do comparative testing with my new Santini Italia Calypso Mother-of-Pearl. I have other Aurora pens that I could use, but this is probably as good a time as any to unbox the Neptune and test it, in case there's anything wrong and I need to make a claim with the retailer. It's all worked out well, though.

Parker 51 Black w/Gold Cap, Signet (1946), med nib. I don't use this pen very often even though it's a nice writer. I find 51's somewhat boring. I like a larger pen with an exposed nib. But I understand why some folks like them as they are very utilitarian.
