One currently clipped to my shirt is an Eversharp Skyline F with Waterman Serenity Blue.  

 

Others I have used so far today include a Newton Townsend F with Levenger Amethyst and a Parker Slimfold B with Birmingham Ohio River.

In my pocket when I went out, a 1970s version of the Pilot Elite, with an 18k soft nib, very fine.

 

Also, I just inked this Esterbrook Dollar Pen with Namiki Blue.  The 9788 nib is very smooth, perhaps just a little broader than I find ideal for general writing, but a real pleasure to write with.  Too many pens, and I hadn't used this one in quite a while.

You didn't mention what nib is on your Stresemann

 

It's a fine. Anything broader with the Pelikans goes into firehose category (for me).

Are you satisfied with the color of Thunderstorm?

I got a sample for the name of the ink. It’s a dark blue-black. I’m satisfied, but won’t be buying a bottle. I have De Atramentis Sherlock Holmes for a dark blue ink, which I like enough to already have a backup bottle.

Today’s pen of the day is a matte gray Karas Kustoms Decograph with 1.1mm stub nib filled with a sample of Faber-Castell Stone Gray. It is an overcast day.

So far today it's been the Medieval Lapis Noodler's Konrad, flex nib -- still with Noodler's Luxury Blue; and the purple Pilot Falcon, SF nib -- still with Sailor Souboku.

I know what you mean about Dark Blue Inks... I have so many of them and after a day of so in the pen, they all start to look the same. 😐

Today it's an Eagle Pencil co "NEVERBREAK" WITH 14 K NIB

Had this one for a bit but finally decided to ink it for this week :3

That can happen. I have 30ml of Diamine Blue Black. Colorverse Saturn V is a dark blue ink. Oh, and I have Edelstein Tanzanite.
