What Pens Are You Using Today?

[rsx]

Pulled an old, old favorite out of the box. My red Parker 21 with Waterman black. Reminds me of my school days. I will be a young student all day long.

Today I'm carring in my bag: 2 FP (Pelikan, Diesel) 1 rollerball (Montblanc) and a mechanical pencil (Faber Castell)

Yesterday I removed and soaked the nib of my old Parker Sonnet Cisele. This is an old original model. Haven't used it in years, caught my eye and here it is, inked with my Parker Sapphire Blue. Great writer, fine semi flex nib. Don't know why I haven't used it more often. Now to wipe off some of the tarnish...

In honour of my late Mum who would have been 84 today I am using the pen that is nearest her Birthdate, my wonderful Duofold Jr (seen here with it's fellow musketeer ( I have named the three vintage pens I got from Maja the three musketeers!) the wonderful vacumatic!

Today, a black Esterbrook J (a member of my all-blacks squad), with a fine stub nib, filled with Skrip Washable Black, and a Waterman Crusader with red ink.

[HBlaine]

Well, I haven't been really doing much writing this evening, but I've been toting a Waterman O552 Sheraton, filled with a Parker Black Quink.

 

Hate to say it, but I've actually been doing most of my quick scribbling, as I do a check & correct on someone's file, with a Pentel Tradio with black ink... (Hey, they write well, and I'm not afraid of having one walk off...)

Study notes in my journal this morning with:

 

lapis 1997 Parker Duofold international (fine nib) filled with Waterman Florida Blue, and

green Hero 616 jumbo (fine nib) filled with a homebrew burgundy.

 

Today's mail brought a Platinum music nib I received in nib swap, so I filled the black 3776 with Noodler's Saguaro Wine to give it a go.

 

This afternoon's journal entries were written with a cardinal red 1928 Parker Duofold Jr. (fine nib) filled with Waterman Blue Black.

 

I also did some jotting with a blue stripe Pelikan 800 ballpoint which has a Visconti 0.7 ballpoint refill.

I left the house for work tonight with one of my OMAS T2 Milords, Fine Nib with Noodler's Red-Black & My Pelikan M600 Transparent Blue with Binder ItaliFine Nib loaded with Waterman's Black.

Parker 21 Super w/Skrip Black.

Parker 51 aero w/Skrip Red.

Parker 45 w/Skrip Black ("The Backup")

MB 164 ("The Ballpoint")

Alvin Draftmatic 0.5mm w/HB ("The Pencil")

Danitrio Raw Ebonite Mikado with Diamine Prussian Blue and Sheaffer Levenger Red "Seas" with Waterman's Blue/Black.

Although I love the Waterman's I think the Red Seas deserves a red ink next time.

[Sailor Kenshin]

I tried cleaning, then filling, my new eyedropper flex-nib pen without a cap, but it blobbed up the first word I wrote with it.

 

*sighs*

[southpaw]

Stainless steel Sheaffer Nononsense, medium nib, filled with Noodlers La Reine Mauve

[Bill Smith]

Old Style black Pelikan M600 with a Mottishaw tuned 18 fine nib for a left handed overwriter loaded up withPelikan Blue Black.

[Phormio]

today (and nearly every day) I use my Waterman Phileaus (Waterman Florida Blue ink), Parker Sonnet (Scheaffer Skrip Ink - Blue (and I don't like this ink nearly as much as the Waterman's)) and a handmade job with a fine IPG nib (Waterman Purple Ink)

[Fanatyk]

I'm studing for my exams today. Of course each of my pens feels sad, when it's in the drawer, so I use 6 of them and write one page using each. And then again :-D Pens (in the order of rotation ;-) )

1. Sheaffer Imperial + Noodler's La reine Mauve

2. Sheaffer Balance + Noodler's Baystate Blue

3. Sheaffer Prelude + J. Herbin Blue (scented)

4. Waterman Carene + Caran d'Ache Carbon

5. Conway Stewart Dinkie 550 + Caran d'Ache Saffron

6. My grandfather's Hero (P61) + Caran d'Ache Sunset - well, you had your p51's during 1970's and we had communism (I'm from Poland) and Hero's - and these were quite rare ;-) But the nib is just awesome.

 

As you can see, my notes are quite colourful ;-)

 

Cheers,

Adam
