Pelikan 200 brass italic nib. Filled with Sheaffer Skrip turqoise to play with today.

Aurora Ipselon deluxe tortoise - fine nib w/ Aurora black for the serious stuff.

[Bill Smith]

Today's pen is a blue Visconti Van Gogh Maxi with medium nib and loaded up with Diamine Blue Black

I addressed envelopes this morning with my 1931 burgundy Parker Duofold Jr. which is filled with a homebrew burgundy mix.

 

The letters were written with my sapphire Namiki Impressions which is filled with Aurora Blue.

 

I wrote a check with my Lamy Safari which is filled with Private Reserve Tanzanite.

 

I did my morning journal entry with a 1997 pearl and black Parker Duofold which is filled with a Parker Penman Sapphire Waterman South Sea Blue mix.

 

All afternoon I took study notes with an old style blue marbled Waterman Phileas which is filled with a mix of Waterman Florida Blue and Purple. This pen really is comfortable for hours of writing.

Today it's Flashback Friday! It's the Parker Vacumatic 1946 Blue Diamond!

So far today, I've used my Husahilai 2375 (PR Velvet Black cart) to update my checkbook, but later I'll be using my Esterbrook J (2556 nib, PR Ebony Green) for journaling and story writing.

Sheaffer viewpoint broad italic with Noodler's Coral Sea blue. Seriously, I don't think I've seen a prettier line on paper.

Did all my writing work this morning with a 1950s Geha Schulfüller. It is a plain black piston fill school pen with a very nice semi-flex steel nib I got in a trade back in 2000. It is filled with a 6:1 mix of Pelikan Turquoise and Private Reserve Sherwood Green.

Blue carbonesque Pilot VP with Omas blue ink yesterday and today.

 

Used a navy blue Pelikan Future most of the past week. It's filled with Iroshizuku syo-ru ink from Pilot. I've also been using a vintage-looking blue Sheaffer no-nonsense filled with Havana brown.

[ZeissIkon]

For tonight's journal I'll be using my freshly repaired Wing Sung 230 (tiny, but much more comfortable than the size would suggest, and a nice smooth writer since I cleaned up the feed and slit while I had them out to solvent weld the cracked section).

[PAKMAN]

Today was quite a mix of pens:

Blue stripe Pelikan 800 with Mediterranean Blue from Diamine

Blue stripe Pelikan 800 ballpoint with Parker Gel refill

70's Sheaffer school pen clear blue with Parker Blue Black Quink

70's Sailor short/long pen with Parker Quink Black

[ZeissIkon]

Today I'll be taking my Huashilai 2375 (PR Velvet Black cartridge) and my Wing Sung 230 (PR Ebony Green) to work.

[Bill Smith]

Today's pen is a mint 1946 made in Toronto On., Canada Dove Grey Parker 51 Vac with a lusterloy cap loaded up with Diamine Imperial Blue.

[Fernan]

I've been mainly using four pens for the past week:

• A British-made Parker 51, first semester 1948, black body, silver cap, filled with Noodler's Black
• A blue Esterbrook L J, 1555 nib, same ink as above
• A Wearever Pennant, filled with Private Reserve Black Cherry -- just love the colour of that ink
• A Matador, French-made, from the thirties, fine nib that needs getting used to..., filled with vintage Sheaffer Permanent Royal Blue

[ZeissIkon]

Today I'll be carrying my Wing Sung 230 (F, PR Ebony Green) and Huashilai 2375 (F, PR Velvet Black cartridge) to work; after work, I'll most likely be using my Esterbrook J (2556 nib "firm fine, general writing", PR Ebony Green) and one or the other of my Hero 70 (M, PR Ebony Blue or Ebony Green).

[GardenWeasel]

My Waterman LeMan 200 with cursive italic nib seems to kinda "hop" into my shirt pocket regardless! It just feels right!

[McPete]

Reform 1745 with Waterman Florida Blue for writing up some notes tonight... A bit scratchy on the notebook paper I've got here, which isn't exactly pristine. Was using my Lamy 2000 a few pages back, much nicer... The little reform is one of two pens I prefer writing with the cap posted- the other being my Pilot Birdie.

[Sailor Kenshin]

Wrote out the nameless pink pen yesterday. Today it's a little bit of Rouge Opera remaining in my pink Rotring ArtPen.

 

After that I'll have just five pens inked! O_O

 

But I'm not really sticking with my desire to have a different color ink in each (there was a thread elsewhere about Your Five Inks):

 

Black (none at the moment! o noes!)

Blue (Blue Sheaffer NN, Shea BB)

Red/Pink (the ArtPen)

Green (Green Hero 366, Herbin Lierre Sauvage)

Brown/Gold (none!)

 

*and maybe gray...*

 

This must change when my ArtPen gets written out!

[humblescribbler]

I pulled out my Montegrappa Genio Strad today to practice more fluently with a larger grip pen. Filled with my favorite PR Ebony Green. Anticipating both the MB green-striated and, after Marcos' review, the still-hankered-for MB 149.(Any year now!! )

[AlaskanWriter]

Kaweco Sport clear eye dropper M here at home today(smooooooth!), and the orange Safari will be going to town with me shortly.
