What Pens Are You Using Today?

[Breck]

Brand new Lamy 2000 EF to replace the one I foolishly sold a couple of months ago. MB Toffee Brown ink in that one.

 

Marine Green Sheaffer OS Balance with 0.8 mm Minuskin stub with Iroshizuku Asa-gao.

At work in a training course I was making notes with a black Lamy Safari F and Parker Quink black ink.

Some letter and journal writing this evening with Lamy Vista, MB 149 or Pelikan M200, haven't decided yet.

[TheToadMen]

These are the pens I use:

a Waterman Carene with golden nib size ' Large' filled with Herbin Orange Indien ink,

a Parker Frontier (steel) with golden nib size 'F' filled with Caran d'Ache Amazon (green),

a simple Parker Frontier (white) with irridium nib size 'M' filled with Herbin Larmes de Cassis (purple),

an inexpensive Chinese pen, called 'P11005 Executive Navy Graffiti Swirls Fountain Pen' with nib size 'F' filled with Aurora Black,

an old 'Red Parker 17' with a nib size 'M' (a bit worn out) filled with Waterman Black-Blue.

 

I have just got a Parker I.M. to test but the first impression wasn't just that.

 

I would like to use a Visconto Devina but can't afford it. I held one of these in a shop and it feels (and looks) very well!!

Amber Duofold Centennial after I spent 15 minutes getting rid fo the scratchyness of then nib. Writes as beautiful as it looks and possibly my most beautiful pen

[cplschnapps]

As always, I use my sleek and impressive Skilcraft "Executive" fountain pen, with genuine Iridium Point Germany (made in China), and a Pilot Varsity. No worry about losing these - I work for Uncle Sam, and they're issued free!

(Relax, Tea Partiers, the Skilcraft lists for $5.27 ea in lots of six on the abilityone catalog, so I'm not exactly adding much to the national debt)

Lamy Safari is my number 1 writer, but...I just received a holder and 10 nibs from jbb, so something interesting might happen!

Today I'm using a Esterbrook blue J that I just received with Iroskizuku Ku-jaku.

[GardenWeasel]

I'm journaling today with my Yellow Pelikan M200 with M400 oblique stub (broad) nib, and Noodler's Emerald City ink. I've gone from Hunter Green, to Mean Green Gator and now to Emerald City in the past few weeks....seem to be stuck on green :embarrassed_smile:

[Fuddlestack]

Sheaffer 444 XG, M nibs, with Sheaffer Brown, Safari OB with Diamine Saddle Brown. It's that kind of a day.

[penburg]

[Frazer]

Today, a Bexley Tuck-Away in yellow pearl with an 18k fine nib, and filled with a cartridge of Private Reserve naples blue.

[Sailor Kenshin]

I'm using a fi'-dolla Stypen Creeks filled with an experimental mix of Noodlers 41 Brown diluted with almost 50% water. It's still a beautiful, soft cocoa-bark color and flows really well.

 

(I scanned and tested the ink in the Ink Comparisons forum).

[Beechwood]

A Universal in duck egg blue and Brilliant Red Diamine. Some days I swear that I have as much good taste as a pound of mud.

 

If anyone can help me learn more about the brand Universal I would be grateful.

 

It feels like a 70s German made piston filler, well made and an excellent writer
