Am bizarrely jealous of the digi calipers!

Still running the M205, Binder 0.6 stub, filled with Diamine WES Blue - that ink in that nib is too wonderful to let go of. I'm scaring myself by considering making it a permanent companion.

 

Also, Lamy Vista, F, Penman Mocha - the ink doesn't seem to get on with this pen, too dry. But I'll give it a while to see how we go.

 

Finally, my new (today) Fermo with the Binder 0.6 stub I'd bought for it in preparation, filled with PR Black Magic Blue - sweet indeed

Having a Sailorish kind of day, maybe because it's cool and windy, and the ocean is not all that far away.

 

Sailor Professional Gear, B nib, Diamine Royal Blue, Sailor 1911 (black with rhodium trim), M nib, Diamine Presidential Blue, Sailor Sapporo, F nib, Waterman Blue Black. And in my pocket is a Sailor Sappor Mini, F nib, filled with a Sailor Blue Black cartridge. All of these pens are black; none of the inks is.

Today it's my Safari Al-Star, Extra Fine. The pen is a couple weeks old the the nib is really smoothing out. Both of the Extra Fine Safari nibs that I've had took a while to break in. But it's writing like a champ now, and I've been taking notes with it all day long.

Today I managed to forget my planner at the house so I used one of the three pens in my pocket along with my emergency spiral for taking meeting notes today. Today's pen of choice was a Diplomat "Graduation Day" pen that I picked up some years ago on closeout from Staples. It came with a wallet and a pencil as well. A nice writing medium nib filled with Parker Penman Ebony.

 

I also used my trusty Waterman steel nib fine that I picked up a few years ago from the Chicago Pen Show for $10. I have no idea what model it is as I don't think I was even told.

Today I'm using my trusty 800 Pelikan Red Stripe with noodlers burgundy and my Sheaffer Balance II Cobalt Glow with Levengers Cobalt and a Pilot Custom in cherry wood with PR chocolat.

flipping back and forth between only [:ltcapd:] 3 pens of the 13 [:ltcapd:] with me today at work !!! ...

Waverley Cameron ED... wacky looking nib but another great writer... running with Pelikan blue-black

Kaweco Dia 802G piston filler... a little brassing on the GFT but a lovely B nib with nice line variation... picked it up on the Bay for only US$15 and a bargain for such a nice pen... running with Lamy black

Paker Duofold and Super 21. They're the only ones I have with me at school right now. When I go home I'll have to grab my others.

[Taki]

Good morning! It's 59F but will go up to 70F today.

 

I will be using my Sailor Pro Gear Mini with Sailor Blue cartridge. When I'm through with this ink I want to fill it with PR Tropical Blue.

On Monday, I experienced a very strained day, when I foolishly walked out of the house with NO fountain pens in tow. I had that Linus-without-the-blanket feeling, and felt that I might need medical attention momentarily. I somehow survived but it was ugly there for a while.

 

Since then I've wised up. My Enzo Varini, WM purple ink, is out and about with me, and my Royal Violet Carene guards things on the home front with a homemade peacock blue ink mix (not the one I made and posted with ferro gallic ink, but a washable version).

Today I have in my weekly rotation Caran d'Ache Leman Godron (PR Lake Placid Blue), Waterman Edson (Waterman Black) and Lamy Safari (Diamine Registrars ink - for cheque signing).

 

Kind regards

For me, it'll be a combo day. I'm planning to carry my Hero 237-1 in Slate Gray, loaded up with Pelikan Blue, as well as my blue Kasuri Vanishing Point with "Lively Green" and a Richard Binder 0.6mm stub nib. Pencil duties will be served up by my recently-refurb'd Pentel Sharp Kerry 0.5 (the green one that I've posted about before), and for a ballpoint, a Parker Jotter with a Visconti Brown refill. Good stuff!

[Lloyd]

A brown bodied Hero 237-1 with PR Chocolat. What a remarkable pen for just a few pesos.

Blue Pilot Prera with fine nib with my blue blend:Pilot Blue, Levenger Cobalt, Noodlers Black in a 10:10:1 ratio.

Pilot Custom 743 with FA nib with my blue blend, too.

[hunter186]

Today it's my new Esterbrook SJ, 9668 nib, filled with Noodler's walnut. There's a bottle of Golden Brown on the way that was purchased for this pen in particular, so I need to empty this sac asap.

So far no luck, I will keep looking. It will pop up when I least expect it.

 

Today I am back to my trusty Pelikan M800.

Yesterday was my Monday, beginning of the week, so I carried my Pelikan 800 and from the mail box I picked up a package from The Pen Den. Once at work I opened the package and found my PAN ink ball pens. Inked one up with Noodler’s Polar Black and had a bit of something different to write with.

 

Nice little ink pen, the PAN, I am rather surprised at how nicely it wrote.

 

When I got home this morning Diane relieved me of one of the PAN’s, I think she liked it even more than I do. Good thing I ordered a few extras.

Good morning, all, from a first time poster. Have my Taccia Portuguese, cracked ice, M with Taccia Black inked up today. However, the wonderful USPS just delivered my new Pelikan Place De La Concorde, M nib, wow, what a gorgeous pen. Wonder how long I can resist inking it up????
