  Parker Duofold Centennial with a very sharp italic medium nib by Kirk Speer. Ink is Scribe Indigo. The writing above the pen is from my IM, I was trying to compare the two inks.

So far today, it's been the BHR Waterman Ideal ringtop, F? nib, refilled with Waterman Absolute Brown.  But later, I suspect it will be one of the Noodler's Charlie pens, still with Noodler's Heart of Darkness, because I think I have to get some bills in the mail.

My Pelikan 400NN (ef)saw the pocket time today and got most but not all of the use. I did part of a letter I'm writing with my Platinum 3776 Century Borgogne (B), although one or two others got at least some use today too.

   I wrote my Pilot Prera Iro-Ai dry this afternoon. It’s already been cleaned. I now need to pick another pen and another grey ink.

I always so enjoy writing with my Cross gold nib pens.  Just inked this one up.  This one is a Cross 2021 Year of the Ox Sauvage pen with a Fine nib.  It writes like a dream!

Parker 50 flighter, M inked with Oblation Papers and Press’ Portland Rain. I have 7 Parkers inked right now, I will probably write with all of them just to make sure they are behaving.

As before, my Lamy 2000 ‘F’, inked with Robert Oster ‘Sydney Lavender’, and;

 

my yellow Lamy Safari ‘F’, which is now running solely on the ‘fumes’ of Lamy Black that still remain in its feed/cartridge, but also;

 

my just-back-from-repair-today, 1954 Pelikan 400, (factory-standard, cursive-italic) ‘F’ nib, filled with Pelikan 4001 Blue-Black.
The ebonite feed on this pen is very wet, its 14k gold nib is ground very crisply, and it is rather springy too.
I freely admit to being a hamfisted klutz, so I was surprised - and delighted - to find that I loves it! 😊

I realise that this is a silly question to ask here on FPN, but…

…given that you already have 7 Parkers with ink in them, do you really need to ink another pen…?

 

Ok, ok, being more-realistic, do you have another Parker into which you could put some grey ink? ;)

 I have several Parkers that I could use for grey ink, but I chose the 50. The other six Parkers are inked because I was asked to bring them to the pen club meeting on Sunday. One member hasn’t had a chance to explore the brand and I offered to bring a “greatest hits” compliation. Many are inked with Parker Penman Sapphire recipes in order to compare them. The rest of my Parkers are sleeping in their pen case. In order to best express myself through art and handwriting, I keep many pens with many ink colors inked up and ready to go. I take extremely good care of my pens and rotate through my hoard at regular intervals.

Cool to see your TN covers, very nice collection. I got the Kyoto edition this year, and really like the images on the cover. I have three regular sizes, and the Star Ferry passport size. 
 

I hope you’ll share a photo when you get the Tokyo edition.
