What Pens Are You Using Today?

[BillTheEditor]

Change in the choices:

 

Today and over the weekend I am using my Danitrio Densho ED flexi fine loaded with Noodler's Zhivago (had been loaded with Levenger Cobalt Blue) to write a couple of articles. Soooo nice.

 

Unloaded the Parker Sonnet Blue Lacque (Noodler's Brown), Danitrio Tosca (Diamine Sepia) and the Danitrio $27 pen (Green Marine).

 

Added Rotring Core with Herbin Vert Olive and another Core with Herbin Rouge Opera.

 

Kept the usual permanently loaded pens as they were: blues and blue-blacks.

 

No brown ink for the next week. If I can stand it.

 

Finishing off a load of Levenger Raven Black in a Sheaffer Triumph Imperial with broad nib, before sending pen to Richard binder for a nose job (stubbing).

 

Total count: 8 loaded and ready.

Had to clean the 9 pens that I had with me to pass to fly back.

So I am starting with a clean slate. I just inked an OMAS 360 Magnum and I will probaby ink again my Sonnet Cisele later today.

I've been carrying extra pens this week:

 

Parker 45 with a blue Parker Cartridge

 

Sheaffer school pen (I have no idea of the exact model) with a steel nib, loaded with a PR Naples Blue cartridge---just waiting for it to leak

 

 

Sheaffer Snorkel with MB Royal Blue ink

 

Parker-100 with a Parker Black cartridge

 

Rebecca Moss pen with Waterman Black ink

 

As usual, I have my MB Boheme ballpoint for carbon copies available (which means I'm carrying the matching FP in the same case)

Lamy 2000, fine nib, filled with Pelikan blue-black

Sheaffer Intrigue, seal pattern, medium nib, filled with Noodler's Legal Lapis

[inkdesigner]

It is a small selection today with a boring choice of colors. I'm away on a suprise business trip, so I had to keep things lite and "boring"

 

I am using:

 

Rotring Intitial with blue barrell and a F nib. This pen is filled with PR American Blue.

 

Pelikan M215 with the blue barrell with platinum-plated stripes in the barrell. It has a F nib. I bought this pen from Richard Binder, so the nib is smooth as glass and writes just fabulous. It is filled with Noodler's Legal Blue, which I believe is an Art Brown exclusive.

Today, I'm using a variety of pens.

 

The bulk of my writing today has been done with two pens: First is my fine-nibbed Waterman Phileas, filled with Noodler's Bulletproof Black. I'm also using a Visconti Van Gogh Midi filled with Noodler's Kiowa Pecan, a wonderful brown ink with just the right amount of red in it.

 

I've also had a few brief spells using a vintage OS Sheaffer balance with a lifetime nib. It's filled with Aurora Blue, as well as an Omas Ogiva with a fine nib filled with J. Herbin Bleu Nuit.

 

 

Ah, tomorrow's another day!

Today's starter is a Parker Sonnet Silver Fougere with a medium nib and Waterman black. I'll probably use my Lamy 2000 with a medium nib and Waterman Florida Blue, too. Both are outstanding writers!

German piston-filling pen day.

 

Pelikan 250, tortoise, fine nib, filled with Skrip Black

Lamy 2000, fine nib, filled with Pelikan Blue-Black.

 

I have not used my Pelikan for a while and I still really like the pen. Light weight, piston filled, nicely balanced, and writes great. It was nice using it again.

[sonia_simone]

Trying out ink samples from James P. today. La Couleur Royale in my Dani $27, and Visconti Blue in my beat-up and beloved Pelikan Go! A beautiful blue day.

I slipped my Waterman 452 into my Piquadro this week. Talk about WET stubs...

The other tenant of the case, my Blue Cedar "51", continues to enjoy its long-term lease.

I am spending a lovely Sunday at home, snailing, drinking coffee and listening to very nice music. With me:

• Bexley Tuck-Away, factory stub nib, with Montblanc Turquoise cartridges
  
• Parker "51" Special with Aurora Blue
  
• Aurora Ipsilon, grey celluloid, stub nib and Rohrer & Klingner Sepia
  

Here is a lousy scan of the latter.

Today, I'm using a Hero 616 recently filled with Sailor Jentle Yellow-Orange ink. I just want to.

 

I'm also using a Parker "51" demi aero, with PR Midnight Blues and a Visconti Van Gogh, with a stub nib modified by Greg Minuskin. It has Noodler's Midnight in it (sometimes you just feel like blue-black!)

 

Later, I'll be filling a co-worker's cocoa "51" with Sailor Blue and giving that a test run.
