What Pens Are You Using Today?

[PAKMAN]

Well I have 4 pens inked right now, one German, one US, one Japanese and one Chinese. So today I went with the best writing, smoothest EF and left the rest at home. The simple black Hero 100 was a joy to use and to take notes with in church today. Sometimes it's the pen you payed $10 for that wins the day and the other $500 worth of inked pens sit alone at home!

I just finished bleeding turquoise onto 37 stats exams with a green Sheaffer Triumph Imperial with a Sheaffer Turquoise cartridge.

 

Tomorrow (later today, really) I imagine I'll be using a Pelikan of some sort -- most likely my green-striped 400NN with KM nib and Aurora Black. After that, who knows?

It's black pen day today! Using my Black Hero 100 EF nib with DeAtramentis Vanilla ink and my brand new (vintage C1920) Conklin BCHR crescent filler 3NL fine flex #2 nib with Levengers Cobalt ink!

I don't usually contribute to this thread.

 

But today and yesterday and probably many days to come, I used my Namiki VP M (Noodler's Purple Martin) and my Sapporo Slim Mini (Ahem! Taki - when you gonna get time to share that review?) loaded with PR Naples Blue.

 

BTB, PR Naples and Diamine Aqua in equally fine (XF actually) nibs look virtually identical. May have to juice the Naples up with something.

I used mostly a Orange Tokyo with the sweetest nib that I have ever tried.

Also in couple of occasions a Parker Sonnet, a GF Sheaffer Thiumph Imperial (?), and a flexy Diamond Point.

I had inked but did not use: A Sheaffer Legacy and the FPN Bexley pen.

I have to find the draft...probably in my work bag. Will find it tonight

This morning I pulled out a couple of old favorites: My green Cross Solo F, and my Dani Trio Tac Carry II in black crosshatch pattern. Now I remember why I loved those pens, and love them all over again. I still say if the Tac Carry II had an F nib, I would be tempted to get rid of everything else. Dani Trio has a Classic available for $29, but an F nib is gold only, and $55 additional, bring the price to $84 plus shipping. Out of my range (but the, I'm cheap).

Today I am using my Yard-O-Lead Viceroy Barley finish FP, Medium NIB, with Watermans black ink. It writes on the finer side of medium and is a heavy pen, feels good in the hand.

Today I am using a Namiki Vanishing Nib pen. I just got this pen about 2 hours ago from Fountain Pen Hospital and I absolutly love it. I love the feel of the nib. It is very pliable which creates a pleasurable writing experience.

[funzoneplanet]

Today: Bic Select X-Pen

[funzoneplanet]

Today's main fountain pen is going to be my Sensa Meridian black/silver fp.

[TULIP]

First year Parker Int'l with perm blue cartridge and an Omas Arco with vintage Skrip perm blue.

Hello everyone. It is a really pretty day and the dogs are frisky.

Still having some problems with my hands so I thought it would be a good day for ink mixing. So, dip pens are in order.

 

 

[J English Smith]

Parker Sonnet Black laque medium with Pelikan Brown; Parker 51 fine with Burgundy Mist; Parker 25 fine with Purple Mojo; waiting on a Waterman Laureat that if it comes, I will fill with Laverty Green Mix.

[funzoneplanet]

Today I used my Montblanc Meisterstuck 144 (circa mid 1980's)

[jd50ae]

Good morning.

Time to get up and smell the coffee and scrapple and eggs and taters.

Hope you have the day off Taki.

 

Using the only blue pens I own, my FPN LE and a no name bought from isellpens a few years ago.
