What Pens Are You Using Today?

[Bisquitlips]

My second Parker Vacumatic in Golden Pearl.

 

I gotta tell you that these pens are some of the most satisfying I have ever held twix'd my grubby, ink stained fingers.

 

Wow!

A Namiki VP, slate grey with Namiki Blue/Black cartridge for personal notes and a vintage Parker 21 with whatever black ink was in it from eBay. Still waiting for it's daily leak these are supposed to be known for.

Today I'm using two pens because I'm writing their reviews after a long test period: a Waterman Expert II Dune Blue CT Medium and a Parker Frontier Blue Medium.

Next pen or two pens (some times I use them two by two) will be of high level. I like to alternate from entry to high level pens.

Today I am using a Sheaffer Lifetime flattop XV with Quink Blue, a Sheaffer Green Striated Balance M with Skrip Blue Black, and a Cross Solo F with Noodler's la Coleur Royale.

At the moment I'm using an antique Mabie Todd Swan 3173. I'm carrying a Bexley FPH special edition I got several years ago. It's an incredible writing pen with a distinctive woodgrain ebonite barrel and cap. Occasionally I write with a Signum Ornamenta. It writes pretty well but I like it more for its flashy appearance.

I will be using my new Sheaffer snorkel that I won on eBay just a week ago. Looks nearly brand-new, 2 very small black spots on the barrel, and 3 absolutely tiny letters, never seen a pen personalized with such tiny letters. Has an excellent fine nib, extremely smooth writer, that is one thing I have never argued about Sheaffer pens, those triumph nibs almost always are great writers. Other than some that had suffered obvious damage I have never run into a bad Triumph nib. Even the ones that did nothing for me wrote well and smoothly. This one I like, nice fine nib, one of the non-gold ones. The snorkel works just great, sucks up and expels properly. The TM Sheaffer is a bit too thin for me but writes so well that it is well worth not even noticing this minor detail.

 

On the second photo you can, barely, see the personalization.

 

 

 

The color is actually a medium gray, not blue as it appears to be in the pictures.

Had planned to carry my Yard-o-Led set today but I realized that the shirt I picked out for Church had pocket flaps, so I had to improvise and find the leather Yard-o-Led case. Put the Viceory and Diplomat into the leather case then in my Bible covers pocket and off we went!

Great minds must think alike. Having a Yard O Led day. Loaded the Barley with Herbin Cafe Des Isles and the Victorian with Vert Olive. May have to rethink the latter as it's a big pastel for what I'm working on.

Hi all,

 

I just joined up thanks to my friend Izzy linking me to here. Over the years I've had a Parker Duofold (flipped, and I regret it!) two Montblanc (hence forth, 'MB') Meisterstück 149s (M) of which was my Dads, and recently picked up a Meisterstück LeGrand (M).

 

In the collection is also a MB Meisterstück Amadeus Mozart Fountain. Again, I've had a Boheme, now flipped.

 

This weekend I picked up a Montegrappa Extra 1930 Black Bamboo, M nib...and it has rekindled my love for FPs again, and I hope to add a Duofold Centennial to the mix soon.

Just one pen came with me to university today: Sailor 1911 Red with gold trim and a medium nib, loaded with Private Reserve Tropical Blue. A very smooth writing pen.

[HLeopold]

Today is a gray, over-cast, rainy blah-day. So to cheer me up I think I will be taking a couple of gray pens to work with me: My Parker 51 and my new Sheaffer Snorkel gray. To add just a touch of color I will also drag along my green marbled Sheaffer pencil with the gold turban. Inks will be Noodler’s, Fox Red in the Parker and FPN GMB in the Sheaffer.

I ordered the DC with the Noolders BP Black as well - should be interesting Thanks Izzy!

I'm trying to use the Yafa fountain pen I bought about 3 weeks ago. When it's feeding ink it's a very smooth writing pen. Unfortunately it has a severe ink feeding problem and I can't seem to solve it.

 

I'm really new to the fountain pens. I really like writing with it, when it's working, I hope that not all of them are this much of a pain.
