I am writing on vintage post cards for the swap using Waterman's Havana brown in two old pens. First, a marbled cream and black 1920s era Morrison medium semiflex from Susan Wirth. Second, a marbled cream and black 1928 Wahl stub from Bert Heiserman.

 

I must use my blotter more. That ink flows!

I've had the same three in rotation for the last three days:

 

Montblanc Starwalker in Cool Blue with Baystate Blue ink.

Cleo Skribent in Blue Ebonite with Noodler's Iraqi Indigo (now called Violet Vote).

Stipula Saturno in Aqua Etbonite with Noodler's Legal Lapis.

 

I was going to change pens the other day, but I've been really tired.

Visconti Opera Club Honey Almond. I'm going to open one of the sampler bottles I received the other day from Pear Tree. I think I'll try Noodler's Squetegue. It looks fun!

 

Edit: I decided to try a Levenger Cartridge of Gemstone Green in my Pelikan Pura. I'm not sure I like it. Too light, maybe too cold. I'll give it some more time. I got a box of a dozen large cartridges for the Pelikan pretty cheap, so if I don't like it I'm not out much.

Maybe found a vanishing point whose clip isn't a problem for my grip!

On the road this week, so only 2 pens.

 

Hero 100 flighter <F> 50:50 mix waterman's Violet and Noodler's Gulfstream Blue

 

Danitrio Classic (white) <M> Waterman's Southseas Blue

[cygnoir]

At work, I am using my brand-new Lamy Logo (F) with Lamy Blue-Black. It's not quite the right color ink for this pen, though, so I think I will try one of the lovely Diamine inks that my beloved gave me for my birthday last month.

[sofian]

My Lamy Safari is up for rotation today and is being pressed into service loaded with Sheaffer Skrip Lavender ink.

[fitzharry]

Quite a few pens considering that most of the day was spent achieving very little...

[dorkdog]

Hi folks I am new around here...

 

I have 3 Pelikans and a Waterman 'cheapie' from Staples.

 

Pelikan M1000, since 1997 Black body - this is my 'red ink' pen I use to grade papers. I use Levenger 'Fireball". Triple Broad nib.

 

Pelikan M1000 since 1997 Green body. Signature pen for certificates, transcripts, lab signoffs, check writing, all my .normal' writing. Pelikan Black ink (I get the litre bottle) and, again I love the triple broad nibs!

 

Pelikan M200 since 2005. Blue body. This is the pen I play with - different inks, depending on mood or season. This one has just a single B for Broad. Right now I have Levenger Cobalt Blue in the pen.

 

Waterman ? This is the pen I loan out when someone needs one if I forget to steal a ballpoint (I refuse to buy one).

 

I have been using fountain pens exclusively since around 1977. Being left handed you can imagine the challenge of using a 3B nib but I get it done. I am very possessive of my pens and I have walked out of a job interview because the interviewer reached in my pocket to grab my M1000!

 

I carry my three Pelikans all day, every day and will return home from work to pick them up if by chance I was distracted and forgot them. I will not sign documents at work without my pen. Period. Through 20 years of teaching, being a dean, and just being me I have never lost a pen or had one stolen. I am very lucky.
