What Pens Are You Using Today?

[JayLo]

Taccia Staccato Starry Night - F - PR Naples Blue (One of the smoothest nibs I own! Stock Iridium - nothing custom)

Lamy Safari - Black 1.1 Italic - PR Velvet Black

It's a good day!

Well, it's the Aurora Ipsilon F ... as usual, inked with Aurora blue. The Waterman Phileas with a juicy M nib is inked with Waterman blue.

Tagging along, in one of the outside pockents of my handbag, is a 'no name' brushed chrome, Japanese made (maybe by Sailor?) Sheaffer cartridge pen (M nib) inked with Noodlers La Couleur Royale.

Well, I'm using a Waterman Clip-Cap Eyedropper, patented in 1899 and 1903 apparently, no idea of the actual age. Has a toothy nib - reminds me of dip pens - and is slender and made of I think hard rubber. It writes with a Pilot Prera fine line, and seems to be semi-flex, but the flex isn't very easy to deploy.

 

I wonder if the fed might need reseating though.

 

I quite like it... the sort of writing instrument I can see an eccentric modern novelist writing with...

I haven't picked up a pen today, so I have the thrill of just "discovering" a treat...There are about two dozen pens in my pen caddys and I will just close my eyes and....

Just received this Sheaffer Sentinel DeLuxe FP & MP in the mail. I believe the FP had never been used until now. A very sweet writer.

Good morning everyone, it is a very nice day and the coffee is great.

Today is red ink mixing day and therefore (drum roll) it is red Pelikan M800 with a bit of flex on a F nib.

It's a Yard-o-Led kind of day today. Sterling Silver smooth finish Viceroy with the Diplomat Sterling Silver smooth finish Pencil to go with it. Black ink cause thats whats in it! Later my Lapis Duofold desk pen for journaling with Diamine Mediterranean blue.

My latest aquisition (got it last Friday): A blue Sheaffer Imperial with F nib and my own sepia mix.

[OldGriz]

Today I am using three pens..

Lamy Vista filled with Parker Penman Ruby ink... smooth XF nib

Custom Made Bexley with a fine gold nib filled with a 50/50 mix of FPN brown and Pelikan Brown, very nice flow characteristics and still waterproof.

Danitrio Tamenuri Hanryo with fine nib filled with Visconti Burgundy... a nice match to that pen

[HLeopold]

Today I am using my brand, spanking new (for me) Sheaffer Legacy, black with gold cap with lined panels. Touch-down filler that works great. Won it on eBay and it was exactly as I had expected, a bit rough, one tip of the nib bent right at the very end, but that was easily fixed and it writes great now. A bit of cleaning and polishing, plus some wax and it looks brand new, writes pretty darned good as well, nice and smooth and fine. Right now I have it loaded with some Noodler’s Hunter’s Green, I had it on my desk when I opened the package and I really wanted to try it after straightening the nib.

Stipula Saturno Olive Woodgrain color W/1.1 Stub Nib

Aurora Optima Burgandy Red W/Broad nib (I worked on this nib for a few hours on Saturday) It was once a toothy nib now it is a smooth Juicy Broad nib!!! Patience and persistance Pays off!!

Lamy 2000 W/Broad Nib Thanks Kurt!! This is a fantastic Pen with a wonderfully smooth nib. Why did I wait so long to buy a Lamy 2000?

Good morning, everyone.

 

Well I need a pen with red ink for work, so I filled my pink decimo F nib with PR Fiesta Red. Also Pel M250 clear demo with 0.6 mm CI filled with Pourssiere de Lune for fun

[David R Munson]

Worked on my handwriting with my Waterman Expert earlier today, now I'm doing design sketches with a Paper-Mate felt-tip pen. They write wonderfully, but feel cheap in the hand. Why doesn't anyone (that I know of) make a high-end felt-tip pen? Oh well...

[PAKMAN]

Today, I'm using a blue-stripe Pelikan M600 fine nib with PR Black Magic Blue and orange Pilot VP medium nib with Aurora Black for general notes and such. For mark-up (I'm doing some proposal review this week), I'm using a Lamy 2000 extra-fine nib with Diamine Orange. Grading's getting done with a purple (okay, Grape Cooler) Bexley Fun Time fine nib with Waterman Purple and a red & gold Pilot VP fine nib with Levenger Pinkly.

My Sesenta came from Japan late yesterday afternoon, and I put a Pilot blue black cartridge in it to try it out. It wrote immediately, a nice fine, blue black line, so I'll just keep using it today for my notetaking. Also have a bunch of pens inked with various PR Blue inks. Today I'm using the blue Carene, f nib, with PR American Blue, and the Taccia Bamboo (Ta-ke) in blue, m nib, with PR Tropical Blue.
