What Pens Are You Using Today?

[flodoc]

Bexley Stradivarius, "Berlin Hochschule" with 18k fine nib (original nib was broad). A beautiful pen in red and black hard rubber and a wonderful writer (as are all of my Bexleys).

[wvbeetlebug]

Summer Breeze Libelle with medium nib. Filled with Noodlers Aircorp Blue Black.

Purple Pilot Varsity. (Yes, the same one.)

[jonro]

Parker Deluxe Challenger with XF nib, filled with Aurora Black. This pen is one sweet writer.

It's a couple of days now I'm using a Montegrappa NeroUno... it's loaded with Pelikan Royal Blue cartridge because it didn't have a converter and that ink was the best I have in international cartridges.

 

I still have to decide if I like it or not. It's very heavy, so long, almost impossible to use posted IMHO... but I like the way it writes, nice line, not too smooth... and overall a great feeling of quality in material and assembly.

 

I don't know yet...

I am using a 1970's vintage UK Parker 61 Flighter with a wet broad nib loaded up with Quink Washable Blue.

Bexley Owner's Club 2006 in the blue/silver Tibaldi celluloid, inked with Waterman South Seas Blue (perfect match for the blue veins).

Scribbled a few notes with a Parker 45 full of Waterman black earlier.

Omas Demonstrator (not quite sure of model) with M nib

Two Parker Sonnets with fine nibs much different from Omas but good for editing

[DeaconKC]

AHHH, a day off. Carried my Pelikan 150 around today.

[flodoc]

Tibaldi Modello 60 w/18k EF nib filled with Noodlers Blue. Very smooth, very fine line.

[escribo]

ca. 1947 Esterbrook transitional, copper color, 9556 nib.

It's the smoothest writer I have ever experienced.

Alas, it is not mine, and I'll have to give it back.

[Silvermink]

VP Raden (Pilot blue cartridge right now - will be moving to PR Ebony Purple, PR American Blue, or possibly Pilot Iroshizuku Syo-ro depending on if I feel flush)

silverblue Lamy AL-star (PR Ebony Green)

silvergreen Lamy AL-star (Noodler's Polar Black - my check-writing pen)

Cross Aventura (Cross black cartridge)

gold Sheaffer Agio (Sheaffer Skrip black cartridge) - this pen is a loaner from another VPC member and writes nicely but is a little thin for my hand. I'm also a little unclear on what model it is, but it looks like an Agio of some sort.

Jinhao Long March (PR American Blue)

 

These are all M nibs (yeah, I'm creative - I have some non-Ms coming in the mail!), though the VP M is more like a Western F, as many have noted.

My brand new (today) yellow Lamy Saffari fine point and an Eversharp Skyline Maroon & Gold striated w/ marron body (fine nib as well). Really impressed with this Lamy so far!
