What pen(s) are you using today?

[ParramattaPaul]

In order:

vintage Onoto -- now out of ink

vintage Wyvern -- also now out of ink

Onoto Highland green Scholar -- almost out of ink.

 

I think I need to clean and re-ink a few pens.

Paul,

congratulations on the empty pens.

As a former ef user (almost exclusively, I experienced very long use times when I used my pens. Probably wasted lots of ink because I was impatient and didn't want to just write more. It also took a while (LOL) for me to think of not filling up the converter every time.

Ta! 

 

The Onoto Scholar and the previously unmentioned Kaweco Special were filled 2 and 10 months ago respectively. Amazingly, the slender Kaweco never had a dry nib in all that time despite only being used infrequently.  It's my bedside pen.  The Scholar on the other hand, was used almost daily.

My currently inked pens:

Sailor PGS winter sky (F) with Robert Oster-Deep purple

Kaweco Sport Mint (F) with Diamine Invent-Bliss

Pilot Kakuno (M) with Robert Oster-Summer Storm

TWSBI Eco pink (B) with Montblanc-Pop pink

Pilot Custom 74 Blue stone (F) with Iroshizuku- Koon-peki

Jinhao x450 (F) with Diamine Inkvent-Arctic blast

Pilot VP Metallic Orange(F) with Diamine Inkvent-Ghost 

Too many inked pens but I like to have different color inks always available. :)

I just inked my Pelikan M-800 with a blue lizard binde from Shawn Newton. It is inked with my newest ink, Scribe Indigo.

Two Sailor pens today.

- An EF Profit Shining Blue with Sailor Blue Black is paired with my Hobo (it ousted the Platinum Plaisir).

- And a Snowmoon MF with Sailor Black wrote a bunch of journal pages before dawn.

 

Yes, that early... cos I'm working in the garden from first light until it's too dark to see. I was trying to write in the evening, but it didn't work - I was skipping days or making a half-hearted effort because I was too tired. And they're meant to be Morning Pages! Trying this new regime hoping for a happier me.

🎵 Dun, dun, dun! 🎵

 

I brough out my Conway Stewart Churchill and inked it.  It is now the duty pen,

Today the only I pen I got to use was my YStudio Classic Revolve Portable in F, inked with Diamine Earl Grey. I keep this around my neck at work and it’s a fantastic companion pen!

Today I've used my new Platinum preppy blue black 0.3 with Platinum carbon black, I like this pen the best for writing usual things, I bought this one last thursday, with two 0.2's [one of these writes finer than the other..] for my A5 journal. I also filled the 0.2's with Platinum carbon black, then I thought, maybe I would like to write in blue too sometimes so today I've ordered a Platinum preppy blue black 0.2 and a Platinum preppy blue black 0.3 with Platinum pigment blue.

 

Platinum carbon black&Platinum pigment blue are both archival and waterproof.

TWSBI diamond 580 ALR Prussian blue, Diamine Dragon Blood, some old Roneoletta pad. I’m impressed.

 

then pen is a replacement for my TWSBI swipe that the cap died and then promptly covered me in ink

 

kind regards

I'm using mostly my Newton Pens Orville C "F" nib running  Birmingham Streetcar. I am impressed with my Newton pen - it lays down a nice, smooth line and never fails me when I uncap it (unlike my Montegrappa). I am also impressed by the Birmingham line of inks (so far); this one is a nice color and unproblematic.  Go Pittsburgh!

Today I wrote 14 A5 pages with my trusty Pelikan M600 Violet-White B inked with Robert Oster’s Cosmic Swirl. I really like how this ink seems to change colour as it dries — it’s beautiful.

[newkid12]

Today, I'm using a black Esterbrook LJ with a medium nib and Waterman Serenity Blue ink.

today i am using a Pilot 845 urushi. Bought this pen since 3 years ago but never had the courage to use it until today. My bad handwriting don't deserve this pen LOL

[Misfit]

Wishing @AmandaW a happier self.  She is working hard on outdoor areas to comply with wildfire safety. 
 

My Log book pen is a TWSBI Eco in Indigo and bronze filled with Colorverse Show-Me Missouri.

Today’s lucky pen is the Pelikan M400 White-Tortoiseshell M — I call her Greta. Greta is currently filled with Robert Oster’s Grün Schwarz. When I first tried this ink last week as a possible substitute for the Iroshizuku Hoteison that I LOVE, I felt like it was close in colour but lacked the magic. But today I’m starting to think maybe Grün Schwarz has some magic after all.

Blue Parker Slimfold M, Diamine Beau Blue. This ink might be a good candidate for whoever is looking for a light blue that won’t show up in copies, as it’s a really light shade.
