What pen(s) are you using today?

[Misfit]

Today’s pen of the day is a Jinhao  10 in gradient blue I got for Christmas with F nib filled with De Atramentis 225 Years of the US Constitution or Ultramarin (their spelling). I filled the cartridge with a syringe. It was a tad overfilled, so out came a big drop. Fortunately most of it fell on an envelope.

Today’s pen is a Kaweco Art Sport in Pebble Blue with BB nib filled with Waterman South Sea Blue ink.  The cap was on tight. I ran warm water on it, and it opened. I made sure to wipe off the bottle threads and inside the cap. I opened this pen last on Christmas. It is the last gift I’ll receive from my Mom.

Today it's been the light grey Pilot Decimo, F nib, still with the as yet to be ID'd teal/blue black Diamine ink I picked up a while back at an estate sale.  Of course, tryin to refill the pen in the car (so I could finish doing morning pages -- the other pens I'd brought with me on the trip were out of reach in a pen roll in my basket in the back of the car behind the driver's seat -- while my husband was driving us home from the middle of Manhattan made things, um, interesting...).

ETA: Probably should have refilled the pen before we left his sister & brother-in-law's place, but I didn't want to make a mess if I didn't have to, plus, we were trying to pack up and get on the road and got a later start than planned as is....

I have one of those that I thought I would use a lot more than I do.

I had an issue with ink flow which I have managed to sort out by cutting the channel on the feed a bit deeper and wider, (a problem I find with a lot of my Kaweco pens) but still, I do not use it as much as I was expecting to.

Today I'm using up the ink in a blue Kaweco x Moleskine F filled with Kaweco Midnight Blue. It will cleaned and let something else come out to play. 💙

interesting - I’ve also found Kaweco nibs and feeds to be a bit hit and miss.  As a pocket pen I think the (Bock nibbed) Ensso Pocket Piuma is a better, more comfortable writer.  The Kaweco’s main advantage being that it doesn’t roll away when you put it down.  Having said that the brass version has a nice ‘steampunk’ vibe and I still like it.

Sheaffer Crest tanked up with Pelikan Edelstein Onyx.  I do love the Triumph nib.

[inkstainedruth]

So far today it's been the recently acquired black Parker 61, with whatever ink was in the capillary filler when I got it.  I'm to the point where I can write a few lines before having to reconstitute the ink again, by flushing it from behind and through the nib, then have to do it again when it gets too pale because the ink has stopped flowing again).

At some point later in the day, it will probably be the Pilot Falcon, still with Sailor Souboku, because I need to balance the checkbook (meant to bring the checkbook and bank statement with me on the trip to NYC but forgot to grab them before getting on the road), and also write some bills (technically they don't have to be mailed before January 2, but it won't hurt to get them to the post office a bit early -- especially given that the "stop mail" form I filled out before leaving town Christmas Day got TOTALLY ignored by USPS....  And so far have gotten NO response to my complaint about (several bills and a reimbursement check from our insurance company were in the mailbox -- plus a package on the hooks underneath it -- when we got home Saturday night even though we had stopped the mail from 12/26 until January 2) and then got a couple more things in the mail YESTERDAY.  I filed a complaint on the USPS website and SPECIFICALLY cited "Steve the Supervisor" (no clue what his real name is) as probably being part of the problem....  That and we don't seem to have an actual Postmaster around here: every time I try to CONTACT the Pittsburgh Postmaster I either have the phone ringing off the hook, or I just get "Steve the Supervisor" instead....  This being the same guy who told me that the USPS is "a private entity" but that it's PERFECTLY OKAY for them to NOT have license plates on mail trucks!  (I'm betting that the PA Attorney-General's Consumer people might just say differently....)

Used an Onoto Scholar and CS Belliver. 

The Scholar is running dry and starting to skip. It's time for a cleaning and re-inking.

Love the Italians,  but have had piston issues with both.  Any problem with your Tibaldi?
