Today, I've been carrying an "original" model Sheaffer Crest, a black vintage Conklin Nozac, and a standard size Parker Vacumatic pencil. (I had to scribble some notes down out "in the field", and the pencil was a bit more practical for that.)

 

Earlier on this morning, I did pen a quick note with a gold-cap Waterman Taperite. It was going to go in the pocket, but the pencil took it's place.

Today it's the Lamy Safari Charcoal with black trim, black nib, fine point and Waterman Florida Blue. I'm getting ready to switch to my Sheaffer modern Crest.

I always carry the charcoal Lamy Safari with me, accompanied by either an AL-star or a blue Safari [red clip]. I've found them to be excellent writers - also great for sketching. Never any trouble on planes, trips - always careful to not let my young daughter get her hands on them, though....

 

I've written about them here :

Exclusively used my Sheaffer Agio. It has a blue lacquer like finish. Got it out of the pen case after a long time.

Today's pen is a late 1970s Parker 75 Cisele in sterling Silver with a fine nib and loaded up with Noodlers Midnight Blue.

I'm still writing with my Yafa Cartridge Fountain Pen -- the only FP I own at present. Next day or two, I'll have another one, and a second ink choice...

[Fernan]

Continuing with working-type writing instruments (as opposed to jewelry) -- nothing overtly conspicuous, except maybe for the CS15.

• A plain black Esterbrook Dollar pen, with Sheaffer purple ink
• A gray Esterbrook L J with a flex-fine nib, loaded with Sheaffer Red ink for editing
• A CS 15, with an medium oblique, loaded with chocolaty Herbin Cacao du Brésil, to highlight and draw attention.

A Parker 25 and a Lamy 2000 so far today.

[Ken W]

Today, I'm using the following pens, all filled with Waterman Florida Blue:

 

1st gen std Parker Vacumatic in brown with fine nib

Later Wahl Doric in garnet with adjustable nib

Waterman's No. 7 Red Ripple with flexible fine red nib

Tibaldi Iride with fine nib

 

Vac is great for note taking, while the Waterman's is great for signatures. The other two pens fill in when needed.

 

Best regards,

 

Ken
