For the past couple of days it has been the Sheaffer Life White Dot that I got from @Paul-in-SF. It hasn't been out of my hand since it arrived and has just had its third fill of Dimamine Violet.  LOTS of pages written with this pen. It's the perfect size for me and the nib writes like a dream! It became a favorite from the first time I put its nib to paper.  I foresee a long-term relationship. 

 

Such a classic form! Elegant, with nothing to show-off but its utility! ❤️

Agreed.  Using mine this week with Diamine Writer's Blood.

I sort of fancy one (Kaweco Dia 2).  I really like how it looks, I'm just worried its too small and light.  

And another spanner in the works is I've seen a TWSBI precision which is roughly the same price.  A good looking metal pen.  Nice size and weight.

Parker 61 with Private Reserve Tanzanite.  Haven't used this pen in quite a while.  Nothing special about the nib, just a decent writer.  I believe it's the only "capillary filler" pen that was ever made, and I'm curious how much writing I'll get out of a single filling.

Of course, it's down to personal preference, but I wouldn't say the Dia 2 is small or light.  I think it's quite a robust pen, a good one for daily use.

A Conway Stewart 55 with Diamine Oxford Blue.  Only two inked pens at the moment, the CS and a Parker 51; definitely going through a mid 20th century phase.
