What Pens Are You Using Today?

[Robert Hughes]

A green and gold Sheaffer Special Snorkel with Palladian Silver open nib. The sac is still good, but the seals appear to be useless; I fill it up by blowing into the sac cage to collapse the sac, then letting it expand naturally with the tip dipped into the ink. Someday soon I'll need to send it to someone with the parts to fix it, but for now I've got it filled with Waterman's Havana Brown; it writes a fine, controlled line, not as heavy with ink supply as my Parker P51. So now I've got a Snorkel, and I think it's alright!

On the work desk:

> Visconti Aida, nib tuned to a cursive Italic, Herbin Blu Myositis ink.

> Omas Blue Celluloid, medium nib, Omas Roma Blue ink.

> 51 Flighter, fine-but-flows-like-a-medium, PR Supershow Blue ink.

Two Italians, and the American Just Joe.

Today I'm carrying two pens only; my new Parker Sonnet Crocodile, loaded with Pelikan 4001 blue, and my trustworthy MB #342, filled as always with MB blue/black.

All my pretty little loved ones are sleeping snug in their holders, except the Safari.

 

I abuse this poor pen.... carry it in my pocket and let my keys scratch it up, write on all sorts of awful surfaces with it (oil covered shop orders - I make a living in manufacturing where boots and earplugs are required), I loan it out to people who exclaim "oooooh is THAT a fountain pen?"

 

also as usual, it's full of noodler's zhavigo.

Today I took notes all day in class with my Waterman Carene Fine Point. I did also carry my Phileas, but I was lovin the Carene on my new Black and Red notebook way too much to put it down.

I am using a Shaeffer Sentinel TM, Touchdown w/ fine Triumph nib. I finished restoration on it last Saturday and I have been putting it through it's paces since then. It is filled with Quink Blue-Black.

Lamy Safari with Noodlers BP Black and Cross Townsend with Noodlers Luxury Blue and MB Meisterstuck Ballpen (I know the word Ballpen is swearing, but I like it) :ltcapd:

[AlejoPlay]

Waterman Kultur Demonstrator.

 

I think it's my most underrated pen. It's a bit of a hard starter (takes a stroke or two), but once it gets going it's lovely.

[ruud2904]

Quite an array of colors: 50's MB 144 (Noodler's Apache sunset), Wearever black/cream (Noodler's Marine Green), Lamy Vista (La,y blue), 1929 Sheaffer Sr Balance (MB blue), 70s MB 149 (MB Turqoise).

Today, I used my Bexley BX701 Cappuccino loaded with Noodler's FPN Galileo Manuscript Brown, my green Lamy Al-Star loaded with Noodler's Hunter Green, my lapis trustone pen loaded with Noodler's Luxury Blue, and my black Lamy Studio loaded with Noodler's Polar black. I'm liking this match-the-ink-to-the-pen bit.

I'm really getting attached to a vintage Waterman's no. 5. It's hard to describe. I just... just keep writing with it.

[fitzharry]

My pen choices today consist of some of my Sheaffer Legacys: a Sheaffer Legacy in red lacquer and gold-finish cap with Noodler's Saguaro Wine ink, a Sheaffer Legacy 2 in palladium and gold-finish with Noodler's Navajo Turquoise ink, and another Sheaffer Legacy 2 in copper lacquer and gold-finish with Noodler's Kiowa Pecan ink.

 

Nothing but my favorite smooth-writing Inlaid Nib Sheaffers for today's writing duties!
