What Pens Are You Using Today?

[Deirdre]

Today I've got five pens with me:

 

Pelikan Lighthouse of Alexandria, as yet uninked. Still, it's hanging with the Stipulas in anticipation.

Stipula Florentia, with a cartridge of a green Stipula ink inside.

Stipula Saturno, with Noodler's Legal Lapis.

Visconti Van Gogh Swisher maxi, with PR Plum.

Visconti Van Gogh Bittner mini RB.

I'm writing with my trusty blue Pilot VP (bold) since my Pelikan 625 is in the shop.

 

I forgot how much I like this little guy. It loves Iraqi Indigo (so do I).

Today's pen is a Stipula Saturno (Olive) with 52 degree nib!

 

I am looking for the ball point/roller ball to match if anyone out there has an extra!

Pelikan 400 Brown Tortoise with Levenger Smokey ink

Pelikan 625 Blue with Parker Blue Black Quink ink

[Romeo Dog]

Today--a Sheaffer Clipper snorkel filled with Aurora black.

STILL using my Pelikan 215 (see below) - that pen just doesn't give up all of its ink! It's been weeks in my pocket at this point...

 

But I think I see the end - the pen is not writing as consistently. Maybe then I can pay attention to my poor neglected Vacumatic, sitting on my desk and waiting for me to write with it.

Big Burgundy late Waterman's 100 Year Pen and Eversharp Skyline Executive in stripey dark blue. Both big boofy pens recently returned from a short holiday and tune up with the skilled Mr Ford at Melbourne Vintage Pens

Today at work I had some of my modern Parker Duofolds: a Centennial Pearl & Black with Noodler's Navajo Turquoise, a True Blue LE with Pelikan Royal Blue, an Orange with Noodler's Habanero, and an International Amber Check with Noodler's Kiowa Pecan. Oh, and an International Red Mosaic with Noodler's Red for margin notes...

I'm using my purple Montegrappa Micra with PR Orange Crush. I know orange doesn't really work that well, but the PR tanzanite tends to clog the thing and I haven't found a good purple in a small cartridge that fits.

After years of only using Montblancs I am trying Pelikan and i do like it!

 

Last week i only used my new Gaudi and the next week will be dedicated to the 1931 white gold. I have only tried it a little bit but i have an impression it is my best writer so far…

Parker Jack-Knife, c. 1920.

 

[edbollix]

1920'ish Duofold JR Jade I just received from Doc Nib. I always have my old Namiki VP M. I am liking the Parker a lot!

[mlla]

Currently using a Faber Castell Ambition Stainless steel FP with Pelikan violet ink.

 

Absolute dream when it comes to day-to-day use. Good weight when posted and ink flows smoothly.

Today ... Pelikan M215 M and Lamy 2000 F

 

[Concor]

Pilot Varsity M blue

 

Just getting started with the FP thing. Trying to decide which first "real" pen to get, either a Lamy Safari, Al-Star, Studio or a Pel M200.

I don't know though, it may be cheaper if I just get into Crack instead!
