What Pens Are You Using Today?

[PAKMAN]

I wrote my Lamy Studio out of ink today so it gets a rest.

The Lamy 2000 with FPN Tulipe noire got a work out today along with my Parker 45 flighter with Quink blue black. I also used my Reform 2.3mm calligraphy pen to write on the outside of a few envelopes.

[Zeroblade]

Mainly used this Vintage 45 with plain black Quink; it writes slightly better now that I gave the nib and converter a thorough washing the night before.

Chatterley (Bexley) LE in teal with a Visconti blue cartridge I had in my desk.

 

It's such a pretty pen (I do so love teal).

[Sailor Kenshin]

Ended up using my Pilot Petit 1 in brown. And an ancient Berol Fontaine in pink.

I'm currently just using ballpoint because I'm only practicing calligraphy but when I improve more I'll use it more.

Three today - two are new, and one is my all-time favorite:

 

1) New: Danitrio flex-fine polished raw ebonite Densho eyedropper model, Aurora Black ink. Was having problems with ink flow through the feed, but things are somewhat better after an adjustment by Jim At Bertram's Inkwell (Baltimore, MD). When the ink is flowing like it should, this is one amazing pen. If it gives me any more significant probs, will contact the ever-gracious Winedoc, but I think it's gonna be all good from here.

 

2) New: Blue Pelikan M605, medium nib, Aurora Blue ink. Bought on clearance at Bertram's, the same day Jim adjusted my new Dani, this is one hell of a pen. Slightly stingy with ink flow, but I'm okay with that. Different flow characteristics are called for with different inks/situations. The nib is pretty much a nail, but gets good line variation as the Pelikan standard seems somewhat of a stub by some other makers' standards. At least that's my relatively pen noob experience. I like this pen size physically more than any other Pelikan. Large enough for me to hold comfortably, but without the brass weight of its larger brothers.

 

3) Old: I'm rarely without one of two Parker 75s given to me by my dad. I remember playing with these pens at less than 5 years of age, and they still write as well or better than anything I have. The one I usually carry is a ciselé with a springy wet medium nib, always filled with Aurora Blue.

 

The one I use most is my sterling silver Parker which is the same You use in Your avatar.

Besides my Cross and Lamy still my absolute favourite.

[Sailor Kenshin]

I just wrote one of my Heros out, so today I'm using the other one (evergreen 616, olive-green ink mixture). I'm also still fiddling with the yellow Preppy, and one of my Stypens.

[Sharkle]

 

I'm using my toes today!! "Just the (writing) facts, ma'am." Oh. Sorry. I am using my Nakaya Piccolo in aka-tamenuri (reddish red) filled with PR Fiesta Red, a Pilot Prera in beige filled with a mix of Noodler's Gruene Cactus and Green Marine and a drop of Habanero, and a Sailor Pro Gear in orange filled with MB Violet. Sheesh. What did you expect? Toenails dipped in Aurora Black. Admit it.

[stevlight]

I am using my Pelikan Polar Lights, Lamy 2000, Vanishing point carbon black, Pelikan M800 black and silver all with Aurora Black plus a drop of mont blanc black(the aurora beads up on the Moleskine sketchbook paper BUT if i add some MB black it doesn't!!!!) A GREAT drawing day!!

Parker 51.

[richardandtracy]

A Leonardo Blue Laquer pen and a new one: A 'Dux 612'. It's supposed to be a Hero 100 knock off, but really isn't up to that standard.

Richard.
