What pen(s) are you using today?

[Surlyprof]

Did some sketching today with my stainless Lamy Studio with an EF gold nib filled with DeAtramentis Document Sepia.  I’m really enjoying this ink.  I ordered a bottle after reading a review here a while back.  Makes your sketches look like Da Vinci sketches!  I just ordered their Document Violet from Van Ness during their FPD discounts.  Looking forward to trying that out as a blue ink alternative.  I guess I’m just not a blue ink kinda guy.

I'm using a simple TWSBI Go with Diamine Bougainvillea ink to finish out a narrative poem. Then, I will switch pens once finished. I do have some new inks inbound.

Not much writing going on today; but what there is, is being done with a new-to-me Esterbrook J with Osmiroid Star-Flo copperplate nib. It's an interesting experience - I'd previously had a couple of Easy-Change copperplate nibs that left me unimpressed, being too stiff and railroading constantly, whereas this one feels a bit more springy and with no inkflow problems. I'm actually enjoying this one and could see myself using it regularly.

I’m using a Delike New Moon green marble with a 1.1mm stub nib swapped from a fude.  I’m not sure if the nib is as far down as far as it should be.

I’m curious about the Mrs. Stewart’s Concentrated Liquid Bluing. I’ve seen it mentioned by several people.

Well, I'm nearing the end of Day 30 of 30 days writing with a Sailor Snowmoon 14k  MF, currently filled with Sailor Black (after trying other inks this became The One for this pen). It was begun because I didn't like the nib,   but it got better and better as it wrote itself into shape and/or I got the hang of it. We're friends now and I'm  going to miss it.

 

Tomorrow begins a new 30 days, this time with a Sailor Profit Shining Blue with a 14k EF nib. Ditto, but worse, cos I don't feel I have control of it as I write. I begin my days with Morning Pages which is three A4 pages...

Interesting experiment you did there!

Sailor black is a good fit for Sailor nibs, with excellent lubrication. I remember receiving my first Sailor pen (a 1911L) and using it with an included black cartridge and being pleased with it. Then I switched to another ink and was like "yuck!"
