What Pens Are You Using Today?

[Deirdre]

Today's pens will be the Marlen Nature Sempreverde (Evergreen) and the Stipula Ventidue in pale grey.

Omas Bologna Blue-Black with Dupont BB custom mix

Pelikan M600 with Platinum BB

Sailor Professional Gear Slim with R&K Magenta

 

Hmm... I guess it's a black pen day.

 

By the way, Deirdre, how do you like your Marlen Nature? I picked up two of these on eBay and I think they're quite nice for the price.

So far, I like it a lot. I haven't spent a lot of time with it, though.

 

The one that I have is the evergreen, which is sort of an eye-searing lime. DH wanted to know what cartoon universe those trees came from.

I used the pen I use daily, a Waterman Phileas. I acquired today, after rummaging through mountains of (in my opinion) useless calligraphy nibs at Michaels, a new pen-holder and nib assortment. Three of the five nibs are suitable for writing (I tossed the two calligraphy nibs), so it brings my total to four nibs and two holders. I've since bee experimenting with India ink.

Hi everyone,

 

Decided to jump aboard this topic.

 

I'm using my Pel M400 White Tortoise filled with PR Lake Placid Blue, Visconti Opera Club Cherry Blossom with a Mottishawed crisp stub/rounded cursive italic nib filled with Diamine B/B and, a Laban Mento...filled with BSB.

[gylyf]

I've rediscovered my dark blue (Waterman) Carène, which sports a nice F nib and is filled with a weird Sailor Blue-Black and Diamine Prussian Blue hybrid. Best,

David

I've inked up my Danitrio Cumlaude fine point in Blue with Stipula Deep Blue. Got

this pen from Kevin.

[jonro]

Today, I've been using a Parker 51 (aerometric, gray/green) with a fine nib filled with Private Reserve Lake Placid blue, an Esterbrook dip pen with a 9556 nib in a gray hockey puck base, and my Bexley Tenth Anniversary filled with Diamine Sapphire Blue.

[naniwa46]

Got my Danitrio Cumlaude in Blue filled with Lamy blue. Just got it back

from John Mottishaw for a bit of adjustment.

[mturk]

My usual Parker 51 aero (1949) XF with PR Sherwood for grading papers, and my 1977 MB149 EF (EEF maybe?) with Pelikan Brilliant Blackfor those pesky math problems.

Once again....my Carene. Yesterday I used my Phileas exclusively, but when I am taking notes, I like my Carene with the fine nib...I can write much smaller that way.

[satrap]

Well, yesterday I inked up amber shimmer Carene and my sterling LeMan 100 (black ends). Penman emerald in both. Belly nice.

I'm in a Wahl mood, with two Eversharp Skylines; a dark blue solid plastic in Standard size (filled with PR Tanzanite) and a gold-capped and brown Presentation Demi holding Waterman Brown. Both pens have what appear to be flexible or semi-flex nibs; I don't get as much line variation as with a Waterman 52, but way more than any of the Sheaffer pens I have.

[skybird]

As always a 1928 Parker Red Duofold and I have as my "guest pen" a 1940 Newhaven (English) Duofold in black and marble, senior sizes. In my drawer are my faithful burgandy Parker 61 and a battered black 51 aerometric.

[LedZepGirl]

Parker Super 21- my black ink pen.

[Ghost Plane]

For journaling, my Visconti Ultima Lira B nib with J. Herbin Brasil - gives a kind of antique look to the writing.

For working on my taxes, Amber Shimmer Carene loaded with Tanzanite

For general writing, Marlen Journal, pink [a color I wasn't sure I'd like, but the black streaks redeem it] in a BB nib, also using Herbin Brasil.

Well, today, my new Visonti Gold Pont with a Fine nib, a knockout of a pen, but I really would like extra fine; Lamy 2000 with Extra Fine nib, which, again, really isn't Extra Fine, and my Omas Orange and Blue Bologna fine point, which IS an actual fine point to me.

I really want a Gold Point!!! I was wondering why they didn't add the white swirls to the cap?

Nice looking pen...!!
