What Pens Are You Using Today?

[sonia_simone]

That is one big pen!

 

Bunch of new ink (wheeeee), so few new pens in rotation. The trusty Pel 150 has been loaded up with Noodler's Highlands Heather, the Athens, which I normally do not use, has a fill of R&K Alt Goldgrun, and the Legacy II has been given a good drink of R&K Alt Bordeaux.

Today a Lamy 2000 fine nib, filled with Noodler's Luxury Blue. I might take the pen from my work-shirt pocket before I begin cleaning the garage...

I used to rotate regularly but last few weeks I've had the following in the pocket and one back up.

 

the very beautiful Parker 51 Israel LE in sterling silver by Ariel Kullock with f-m and conservative skrip blue black. Pix below. The pen and variations availab le for order.

 

Stipula 22, in copper colored. Similar color ink concoction by mix of herbin, havanna brown and ecoline. A dreamy look. I have a fondness for titanium nibs and pens despite the problematics. So far so good. This was from regina, one of the last she had.

 

Peli toledo 700 with otoman rose and a oblique stub from Richard. Nice. I'm considering crsive italic but my cursive is not yet italic nor my italic cursive. The woes of a left handed writer.

 

Platinum Music with burgundy is a regular. Wonderful pen and nib. I still dabble in Plats despite gray market accusations et al.

 

In the reserve pouch a trusty P21, nothing to write home about but reliable and good for forme etc. And an Aurora Hastil b/p because sometimes you need one though not used much. Mechanism a bit iffy.

 

I also have inked on the desk, Lamy Persona in broad and noodler's ottoman, Netuno Baracuda Red transparent, a cool pen but it's on rest and a Lamy desk pen by the comp filled with penman black by syringe in lamy cart.

 

Cannot decide whether to ink up the Plat koi fish and calico or to try sell. I have too many pens in the boxes and pen case.

 

Here's a pic of the Israel Parker 51. B/C for dtls if you are interested:

F/P's are good to use and write with. UI am sure you all agree.

 

Best to all aficianados

Well, today is the grey marble Pelikan M200 with the Binderized XXXF nib, with Noodler's Squeateague. Yesterday was the brown striated Sheaffer Craftsman with the needlepoint 33 nib, until I decided to walk out of the office to a store with it in my shirt pocket. I would like to hope that someone picked it up from the street and took it home with them, rather than it having been run over by a taxi in the Meatpacking district.

 

I feel like seventeen types of (bleep) today. I loved that pen.

[sonia_simone]

That is so sad! I'm terribly sorry.

My luck was amazing today! It was raining, and I was stumping along to work, eyes mostly on the ground to avoid either stepping into a puddle or splashing my cane into one, and I passed a huge concrete planter on the sidewalk a block away from my office...

 

...and there it was, just one end protruding from beneath the overhang of the planter!

 

It looks unscathed to the naked eye, and writes; I shall take it home and clean it, AND NEVER CARRY IT IN MY SHIRT POCKET AGAIN!

[TMann]

Woo-hoo, Velma! I'm glad that you found your pen.

 

Today I was using my Pelikan m605 and an Eversharp CA ballpoint at work. A nice combo...

I currently use two pens daily.

 

Both FPs are stainless steel with gold trim. The first is a Parker Frontier loaded with Levenger Amethyst. The second is a Sonnet loaded with Levenger Always Greener. I am going to be changing the Always Greener to a blue or black ink shortly. I used to have the Frontier loaded with Quink Black but my wife adopted my second Frontier and I decided I was done with black for a bit.

 

I should have a replacement for the adopted pen any day now. I will most likely ink the new pen with black though I may try to get something other than Quink Black to try.

[sonia_simone]

Wow, that is amazing! I'm very glad you were reunited with your lovely pen.

[Taki]

I was off today so just one pen; Stipula Saturno yellow-green now filled with Diamine Umber. Planned meals for the next week and made a grocery shopping list. Nah, I'm not really organized but I have to do this because I'm not very good at cooking

Please permit me an indulgence in the bunny dance as I celebrate the arrival of my FPN Galileo ink. :bunny1: :bunny1: :bunny1: :bunny1: :bunny1:

 

I have it loaded in my Phileas F, and I have an Esterbrook 9048 loaded with a mix of the FPN Galileo with Noodler's Walnut, mixed about 2:1.

[Lloyd]

a mix of the FPN Galileo with Noodler's Walnut, mixed about 2:1.

I'm curious as to why you didn't keep it straight-up Galileo? What do you gain with the addition of Walnut?
