My old sort of worn-looking gold filled art deco Wahl Eversharp with the most amazingly perfect nib. Always exactly the right feel on the paper, never the slightest hint of scratching despite my left-handed writing style, flexes fine to broad with the perfect response to pressure, and perfectly uniform flow no matter how much I flex it. tomorrow, possibly a semi-frankenpen - an old japanese black lacquered eyedropper filler, probably a well-done Namiki knockoff from the late 30s, whose broken original nib i just replaced with a smooth broad Waterman's Ideal #3 that happened to be at hand and fit perfectly. Very fun to write with now.

In the pocket Parker Duofold Pearl & Black (acquired from my Mother as she doesn't use it) along with my MB 147 Traveller.

 

On the desk, Lamy Safari with a 1.1mm stub nib :)

 

Have a great day everyone.

This morning's journal writing was done with an old style Omas Paragon with a delightful fine nib, filled with Omas Blue.

 

Notes at a lunch meeting jotted with a 1950s Geha Schulfüller with a semi-flex steel nib, filled with a 6:1 Pelikan Turquoise/Private Reserve Sherwood Green mix.

 

This afternoon I have been writing with the pen that arrived in today's mail: a red/black Parker Deluxe Challenger with fine nib, filled with Aurora Black.

Still enjoying the company of the Bexley Poseidon. Great pen. Don't know how I missed it this long! ;-)

Today's pen is a midnight blue mk1 Parker 51 with a lusterloy cap loaded up with the striking yet feared Noodlers Baystate Blue.

Today's choices are a 1950s English-made Parker 51, with a B nib, and filled with PR Sonic Blue. I'm also using my Lamy Al-Star in Graphite, with Lamy blue ink.

Right now I am grading exams with a Sailor Sapporo, extra fine nib (for writing in the margins), with Sailor Red-brown ink.

 

Earlier I was writing with a Cross Townsend Tuxedo (black with silver cap), fine nib, with Diamine Damson ink.

For the past couple of days I've been extensively using my Stipula Vedo in Ruby with a medium nib. I have it filled with Noodler's Burgundy. This was my first Stipula and one of the overall favorites in my collection.
