What Pens Are You Using Today?

[jdclarkson]

1) Red Striated Pelikan M800 with Minuskin-made broad stub nib. Waterman Havana ink.

2) Metallic Green and Gold Sheaffer Legacy with Masuyama-tweaked stub nib. Diamine Imperial Blue ink.

3) Black and Silver Waterman Carene Deluxe with stock broad stub nib. Arora Black ink.

[Robert Hughes]

I'm using a couple newly re-sac'ed treasures: a red Esterbrook LJ with 9550 nib, loaded with PR Arabian Rose, and a green striated 1930's Majestic lever fill with its original 2-toned "Super-Point" nib inked with Quink Green. Both pens work beautifully; the Majestic is dry if left standing overnight, but a touch of saliva from the tip of the tongue gets it going without a problem. I polished up the Majestic with Simichrome the other night and it shines like a jewel - it's my prettiest (and maybe cheapest) pen right now. Perfect for the office!

 

Also got the Pendemonium eyedropper pen here, loaded with Noodler's Legal Lapis for any waterproof ink needs. It's also a happy writer.

Hello,

 

have changed from my Waterman Hemisphére Red GG with fine nib to another Hemisphére Satin Blue with medium nib. Wasn't too happy with the fine one, but I like this particular Waterman, it's elegant, not a little bit flashy, just some kind of timeless Design. And then my Haolilai 801F, it's a superb writer. I like it's golden details and the colour combination even if I'm almost more a chrome/stainless steel/silver fan, not only in Pens, but also in Watches and Jewelry.

 

Greetings from Germany after a long time;

 

Otto

LAMY Studio, only FP i've got, so yeah, now you know.

[Plume145]

I've got:

-a Montblanc Meisterstuck frederic Chopin with that lovely burnt sienna ink they did for the holidays that is supposedly scented but smells a bit nasty to me, lovely colour though ). This stays home, too big for my bags, too sentimentally precious to suffer the tumbles the stuff in my bag takes lol. Medium nib.

 

-a sweet, cheapo Parker of unknown model--black plastic body and chrome cap, probably a fine nib. Basic eraseable blue ink.

 

-my most recent acquisition, a black with gold accent Sheaffer Agio Compact, medium nib and loaded with loathsome black ink Travels around with me.

 

-my second most recent acquisition, a small royal blue Parker with gold accents, medium nib, but unknown model; the rather knowledgeable old gent who owns the penshop where I bought it did say it was a limited edition. the nib's still sort of hard, but I'll work on it at some point

 

Well, that was my first-ever post in reply to an actual question on your lovely forum! hope I haven't messed up :embarrassed_smile:

[AlejoPlay]

i brought three good (but cheap pens) to work to keep in my pen cup--my Rotring Core and two Parker Reflexes. I don't use these enough at home for my "real writing."

 

I am using the Rotring Core today and i have forgotten how nicely it writes. It's got a Pelikan Black cart in it, but I think I need to get some Waterman carts for it because it's a hard starter with the Pelikan carts.

Hi dashboi

Can I ask how the inkflow has been with the Sapporo for all day use and reliability, because I am looking into buying a Sailor FP

Thanks
