Today I'm using 5 pens:

A Parker Sonnet Black Matte FAKE on the go

A Parker Sonnet Chiselled Tartan Fake with an original Stub 18Kt nib at home

A Visconti Opera Club Yellow Summertime at home

A Stipula La 91 Black at home

A Stipula 22 Titanium Black at home

[Federalist Pens]

Currently in rotation:

 

-Parker 51 Black medium (Parker black)

-Esterbrook J Grey w/2668 ("Eggplant" mix- Diamine purple w/ Parker black)

-Reform Demo (Diamine blue-black cart)

-Lamy Vista Safari (Lamy blue cart)

 

I also have my two Borghini RB pens that take ink carts in use. These can be stored flat in my pen box as the point is pressurized. One has Diamine brown (great color!), and the other Diamine royal blue.

 

I just got a Diamine sample ink cart set over the holidays from The Writing Desk. So far, my favorite is the brown! I still have the red and the emerald to try!

Stipula 22 in grey with old-fashioned Titanium nib.

 

Additionally, I've filled a Platinum Preppy (which was absconded with) and defended my Aurora Ipsilon from further absconding.

I used my Carene all day today in classes, with a Waterman Black cartridge. I'm waiting for my new ink to arrive...then I can start mixing and using my converter.

 

I swear, the more I use this pen the more I love it....what a smooth writer.

My Indian-made Parker Vector. Now that I examine it while writing, I notice that it is a little cosmetically rough around the edges, like a little plastic flashing left over from the molding of the barrel and cap. It could be fixed in ten seconds with a fine diamond file / fine sandpaper, but I think it adds character to the pen, and is a reminder of it's origins. Especially as it doesn't interfere with my ability to hold / write with the pen, and it writes superbly.

 

Filled with one of the three blue Quink cartridges that came with it.

 

I prefer to have a whole bunch of slightly cosmetically imperfect writers, rather than flawless museum pieces. It doesn't hurt as much if they get nicked or scratched in daily use (and this rarely ever happens, anyway).

Today we had the black striped Pilot MYU-701 and matching striped rollerball. Both attracted a fair amount of comment around the office.

[Beechwood]

I started off the day using an MB Diplomat, which looks great and leeks bad so that has gone back in the box with a note to remind me what a leeky beast it can be. How is that the pen can be dried throroughly and then leak on your middle and index finger having written 4 words?

 

Back to my old faithfull of a Waterman Phileas.
