What pen(s) are you using today?

[Misfit]

@Baka1969 Ah ha! It’s starting to make sense. The Matte Rose Studio got stained when you were dealing with nibs, and refilling with BSB. Imperial blue from the Dark Side.

Today’s log book pen is a Pelikan Cognac filled from a sample of Van Dieman’s Leatherwood Honey Amber. The Cognac has a B nib.

Today's journal pen was a Sheaffer No Nonsense with a fine nib and Diamine Twilight. I adore the nib on this one, it's as fine as I like for writing and has an unexpected pencilly feedback that's as good as any of the pens I have tried that are famous for that! 🤍

Today it is time for a newly excavated dark green Pelikan 140,

filled with Diamine Ancient Copper. It is odd that the piston/gasket

still is OK, after all, it is 70 years old!

 

Have fun!

Today's pen is a brown tortoise shell 50's/60's vintage Pelikan 400NN with a semi-flexible fine nib. The ink is Diamine's Ruby Blues.

All in blue... 💙

Today I'm working with a couple of ebonite Osprey Pens Milanos (Milani?) - one with a Zebra G nib, the other with an Esterbrook 314 Relief.

My pen of choice will be a red one I bought for past Chiefs going to the Super Bowl. The likely choice is from last year, a Conklin Duragraph Red Nights with 1.1mm stub nib since it has ink in it.

So far:

8 Nonami Chinese piston fillers, all got Waterman Serenity Blue while stubbing them

 Amazon Basics F inked with a Pen Savings generic purple cartridge 

Schneider BK406 EF, random greyish black international standard cartridge 

Namiki Penguin F, inked with Pilot Ku-Jaku

Speedball 1.1 mm calligraphy pen, inked with Diamine Jet Black

[Misfit]

I did use four more, writing a letter. Ran one out of ink.

Today's pen is a Wahl Eversharp Skyline in burgundy with a gold cap. Ink is Diamine Holly, love a green ink, even better with a red sheen.

 

I like that ink as well as the other one below....😀👍  What's the paper?

Coincidentally, today I discovered section cracks on a pink Sailor Chalana I just recently received. Honestly, I bought it only to flip it.

 

But it didn't turn out all bad. The seller refunded me immediately and told me to keep it, as well as an ITO mechanical pencil (Does anyone know the ITO brand? It seems pretty nice ...) she sent along with the Chalana, for free. I already had a Chalana in a 'flighter' type finish that is fairly boring IMHO, so I exchanged its (black) section with the cracked pink one.

 

So now I am happy to have my itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny, pinky-winky fountain pen! (Tempted to add yellow polka dots to it ... but nah ...) Eminently impractical pen - a well-made novelty IMHO - but it does have a nice EF nib. I'm glad to have one - but no more than one - Chalana.

  I’m using my Namiki Nippon Art Collection Origami Penguin F today for the first time. I inked it with Iroshizuku Ku-Jaku.

 

That's quite a pen.   😀👍   How does it write?   What paper?

Do you find Ku-Jaku green or teal?

I didn't remember what a Pelikan Cognac looked like...  Wow, very nice... 👍😀

I wanted to put some Waterman Serenity Blue in my M600 but I couldn't get the cap off, so I ended up with a little vintage Waterman Purple from 2000.

 

Nice assortment of pens and inks....😃👍  I really like your Namiki Penguin... 👍

It's a Colorverse Nebula 52g Tomoe River plain white paper notebook. The best paper I have for showing the sheen. 

[pan101]

Today's pen and new pen/first time inked is an Asvine P20 in amber, with medium nib. Ink is Diamine's Autumn Oak and paper is Tomoe River 52g white. I liked the pen so much I've ordered another in "Galaxy" already.
