What Pens Are You Using Today?

[Spats McGee]

Today, it's my Lamy Safari. Medium nib, filled with some Noodler's La Coleuer Royal.

[Dean]

For me it's my Pelikan 605 with a binder 215 stub with Parker Quink Black and My Sheaffer brushed copper legacy with a firehose stub nib dousing my paper with DC Supershow Blue.

Today I am still playing with a bunch of pens I have been modifying to get even finer lines out of. So far I have had pretty good results, my reform EF has become EEF with no worries and my Sheaffer Prelude if truely wonderful. Grinding nibs has become something of an obbsesion and I really need to get back to drawing and writing with them.

I've been carrying the same pens since Saturday:

 

Stipula Saturno with its usual Noodler's Legal Lapis.

Stipula Suprema with its usual Noodler's Violet Vote.

Stipula Ventidue with its usual Noodler's Kuprin.

 

All the inks are Pendemonium exclusives.

Today, it's a green-bodied Duke Mako with Duke Black. It's a nice pen, although the nib seemed to dry up fairly quickly when I was taking notes -- I suppose my pauses were too long.

Well, I recieved a few pens in the mail this weekend and a few from repair and also I work on a few:

 

Stipula Saturno Olive Woodgrain color W/1.1 Stub Nib

Aurora Optima Burgandy Red W/Broad nib (I worked on this nib for a few hours on Saturday) It was once a toothy nib now it is a smooth Juicy Broad nib!!! Patience and persistance Pays off!!

Lamy 2000 W/Broad Nib Thanks Kurt!! This is a fantastic Pen with a wonderfully smooth nib. Why did I wait so long to buy a Lamy 2000?

Visconti Copernicus Black&Blue celluloid striped W/Medium nib

Stipula Etruria Ocean Blue W/1.3 Stub Nib

Montblanc Pen, Alevander von Humboldt

Today, it's a lovely little Haolilai I got from Speerbob. It's burgundy with dark swirls and clusters of gold dust, and a smooth writer to boot. Twenty dollars (plus shipping) well spent.

For now:

 

Pencraft Churchill, Bexley F, Mont Blanc 'Racing Green' ('racing green' my hairy behind, but it's a great colour)

Pilot Capless Fermo, M, Noodler's La Colouer Royale (is that how you spell it?)

Pelikan M205 demo, Binder 0.6 stub, PR DC Supershow Blue

[Shangas]

It's been so long since I actually wrote a fountain pen dry, I admit, I actually miss it happening.

 

For the next few days/weeks until it runs out, I will be using my Parker Duofold Big Red. Senior two-bander in red permanite. Flattop w/firm fine nib.

 

I tweaked the nib myself (thanks for everyone who offered advice about that) and now it writes wonderfully!!!! It's loaded with an approximately 3:4 mix of Parker Quink blue/black & Parker Quink Black.

[Beechwood]

a black Platignum witha fine nib. This cheapie is about the same size and looks as a 145.

 

Got a Cross all chrome last month as a gift, just cant get on with it, too thin and too much metal. It will go back in its box for some future sale, unless anyone would like to amke an offer or trade.

[Songwind]

I keep my fine-nibbed Sheaffer Triumph Imperial in my drawer at work, with cartridges to refill it.

 

I got a new Libelle yesterday, so all my personal writing has been done with that. I ran it out of Purple Martin, and just reloaded it with Noodler's Black.

 

My Targa stands buy loaded with Gruene Cactus, but it will have to wait until the new wears off the Libelle, I think.

Today is a Taccia Staccato Vanilla Latte kind of day! Inked with De Atramentis Vanilla Brown

[garyc]

Waterman Carene fine with 2/3 Waterman Blue-Black and 1/3 Mont Blanc black. Just adds a bit more 'age' to the colour.
