What Pens Are You Using Today?

[Taki]

Good morning, all!! It's 37F(2.78C) and clear.

 

A day off today, will be using Prilot Prera with Noodler's Concord Bream. Beautiful color but it has to be used with better paper or it feathers.

 

Probably will use Sailor Sapporo (Pro Gear Slim) Mini with Sailor BB, too

Hello and good morning. Wow, Sept. 1st comes and the weather changes with a boom. 64F and we have had rain.

 

Today I am using the School pen because it has a fine nib and I need one.

The other one is just for self-defense.

Today seems to be a Hero day. Yesterday I received a Hero 329 in the mail from a sympathetic FPN member who saw my post sometime back about I could not buy any more pens, and sent me a 329 he had inked and did not care for, and would not even give me a figure to repay postage. Such is the nature of people on this forum. I also am using my Hero 616 and my Hero 100 Flighter.

Parker Duofold, have written six pages both sides. Haven't needed to stop and refill it yet.

a near as mint can be BCHR Conway Stewart 540 with shallow domed top... absolutely tiny FP that writes with a lovely VERY fine line... and a bit of flex... I normally hate posting but tis one is far too small for me to use un-posted

 

unlike a lot of little tiny pens the 540 looks exactly like a normal full sized turn of the 20th C BCHR FP... only a TINY 90mm

DAMN YOU, LEDZEPGIRL! I WANT A DUOFOLD!! *Throws tantrum*

 

Today, I did a lot of writing with my '51' and my Montblanc. True to all previous experience, the MB emtpied mightily fast.

It's a Pelikan kind of day today!

Good morning all!

 

Omas Paragon '05 w/ HT trim, XF nib - PR Lake Placid Blue

Sheaffer Sterling Silver Victorian Legacy Heritage, M nib - Noodlers FPN LE Galileo Brown

Pelikan M400, Red Binde, F nib - Noodler's Ottoman Azure

Pilot VP, Raden, F nib - Waterman Florida Blue

 

I ended up with 4 pens today, since the Paragon is too big to fit in my pen case.

 

The Victorian is the first pen I've found which matches perfectly with the Galileo Brown, since both appear faux vintage.

 

Lake Placid Blue is basically a more saturated WFB, lovely ink.

Esterbrook J with 9555 nib and brown Sheaffer ink... I think this thing wouldwrite upside down under water!

I recently decided that in order to make finding a particular date in my journal easy to find, I would put the date at the top of each page (whether or not it was a new entry) and alternate ink colors for each day (but not necessarily each entry in multiple entries for a particular day). The system works and makes finding a particular day much easier. But it also makes me alternate pens. Today's journaling pen is Pelikan M605 with my mix of Noodler's bulletproofs, New Old Bishop Street Blue-Black, (yesterday was a Grand Place -- Noodler's Swishmix Burgundy), and my office-carry will be my VP Kasuri black with the same blue-black mix.

 

Weather-wise, another glorious Honolulu day -- my room thermometer reads 78 but it's probably hotter downstairs. A few clouds. Hope that won't obscure this morning's performance of the Thunderbirds.

today... a black and grey marbled GF trim button-filler "FABEKA" (????)

 

another great Bay find bought with no idea what it was going to be like... bargain price and virtually mint... and lovely to write with

[caligatia]

I've torn through eight pages of my journal with my new Lamy Studio, XF nib, Lamy's own violet ink cartridge. Wow do I love this pen. I need three more like it, just to keep up with my ink colors... It's putting my Pilot VP (the pen I use for work) to shame.

ok well I just barely started a fountain pen collection. My very first fp was purchased on Sept. 4, 2007. So far I only have 3 fountain pens, and actively use them all everyday (at least for now as my collection is extremely small). Below is the list of fp's currently in use today, in the order that I received them:

 

1. MonteVerde Regatta (blue/yellow with chrome accents)

2. Sensa Meridian (black with chrome accents)

3. Acme Limited Edition (number 712 out of 1935) Elvis "On Stage" pen (roller ball) that I converted to a fountain pen using an Acme fp converter kit.

[artaddict]

That's a good start, funzonelanet!

 

I am using my first fountain pen which I found and cleaned yesterday - a white Parker Vector, F nib, made in the USA. I thought it had died but it just needed a soaking.

 

Good evening everyone!

This morning, I've been using my Danitrio Densho raw ebonite, firm fine nib, with Sailor Jentle Gray. I'll also be doing some note-taking with a yellow Danitrio Tac Carry II, medium Kinney stub nib, with Sheaffer Skrip Blue-Black.

 

I'll be doing some grading later, so I'll be pulling out the charcoal Lamy Safari, extra fine nib, with Levenger Pinkly and the Haolilai 801F, medium nib, with Diamine Orange.

9 p.m. and I'm still working on 2 presentations for a writers conference tomorrow. Comforting myself in the throes of procrastination angst by taking notes with a red Stipula Vedo filled with Omas red. Love this pen.
