   I have to do the same. Might as well pick a third for my task list. It will be a colorful day to make up for the atmospheric river outside my door lately. I think I will use a Platinum short-long pen with hibiscus on it inked with their green, a no name Chinese stub with some shimmer, and a Sheaffer black tulle Lady with Sheaffer red. 
  Yesterday I used an Asvine V169 with Waterman Serenity (or Florida, forgot which bottle) Blue, and my Waterman desk pen with JIF Waterman’s Rouge Intense. I am going to try my hand at an ink review, but I’m a bit nervous about it.

 

It'll be a great ink review, PGC....  😀👍

Breaking out the Montblanc 144 Classique once again.  Got my Parker 61 and a Monteverde Innova inked up as well.

Finally got a chance to ink up the Pelikan P1 Twist that was swag from November's Pelikan Hub.  Decided it needed Edelstein Star Ruby. :D

Today it's a Chinese? pen, a Japanese one and an Italian one for my writing pleasure.

 

A Narwhal Voyager Shanghai, a Sailor Profit, and a Santini Italia. All great pens and so different!

I’ve had the need for both fine and broad pens today and made good use of my EDC Gravitas pocket pens.  Titanium with a stainless steel section and broad nib from FPNibs and a delrin with titanium section and Gravitas fine nib.  I’ve really become very comfortable with these two pens as my EDC.  The balance is particularly nice with these two.

I used the pen I got in my friends’ Christmas get together. It’s a Kaweco Sport classic in navy with an F nib. I put in the cartridge of royal blue ink it came with. I was so pleased to get it. I also had the white one on my Amazon wish list, and I was hoping for the navy version.

I've been enjoying my new Pelikan m205 Apatite and Rose Quartz Broad nibbed pens and matching inks in my daily journal.

@RedPie thanks! As you can probably tell by the stamp, I go thru a lot of those journals. I think I’m keeping Graphic Image in business. 😆Still way cheaper than therapy! There’s just something about the feel of the pen and it as it glides across the paper.

So far today, it's been the Red Marble Deluxe Challenger, EF nib, finishing the fill of diluted Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Black; and the M205 Blue Marbled, M nib, still with Pelikan 4001 Blue Black.

Hey DilettanteG, where did you get the pen case with the attached band? Very handy/useful. I would like to acquire one.
