What Pens Are You Using Today?

[ibz]

I was using a Parker Sonnet M at work with Quink black ink. My new black Pelikan M200 F was waiting in my mailbox when I got back home so I will be doing some writing with it tonight. Might use a Montblanc 149 F with MB royal blue if I feel inspired to write in my journal.

OK, so I left my fountain pens home today. Shame on me.

I'm using my Conklin Symetrik grey and black marbled roller ball (a beautiful pen) with a Hauser roller ball refill which contains a beautiful rich blue color ink.

I'm enjoying it, and, after all, that's what matters.

Pelikan M200 Green Marble with Binderized fine nib, using Noodler's black ink. It rocks!

Today's pen is a Modern Aurora 88 with sterling silver cap loaded up with De Atramentis Dark Blue.

Edson (Zhivago), Exception (Noodler's blue-black), L2000 (Fahrney's midnight blue)

[offbase]

Just one today, a Visconti Black Ripple with a fine nib; got quite a few sideways stares in court over the size of it.

[McPete]

My freshly-adjusted Parker 61 XF, with Waterman's Florida Blue... Now writing wetter, slightly broader and smoother than I got it.

Switched from my Platinum pocket pen to a Shule 2112, in pure annoyance. At the Dallas Show I'll show it to Mike of "MikeItWork" & find out if he knows a way of making it write downstrokes properly!

This week I am going to ink up a set of Esterbrooks. I have been heavily using my LAMY Al-Stars but plan to have a Black, Red and Grey Model J ready to take note at work.

Filled w/ my "cloned" 5-ink blend that near-perfectly replicates Noodler's Coral Sea.

I'll be using my green Esterbrook J (2556 nib, PR Ebony Green ink) today while taking notes at my Golden Age Champions game session, with my Dollar 717i (same ink) standing backup.
