What Pens Are You Using Today?

[SimonJamesLucas]

A plum coloured Osmiroid 65 Mk 2 filled with Diamine Damson. It doesn´t get a lot of use these days but my mother bought it for me in 1971 and it still writes beautifully thanks to a NOS replacement Rolatip nib

Used my Parker 100 with Parker Blue-Black today at work.

[IWantThat]

At work I used my Waterman Perspective (ice blue) with Waterman Florida Blue ink...Now, at home, I'm using my Omas Bologna (pearl blue) with De Atramentis Adular Blue

[reprieve]

Bexley Grand Finale, stub nib, Binder's Blurple.

Parker 51 Dove Gray Vac, fine nib, Iroshizuku Yu-yake.

 

This afternoon I inked a Pilot Vanishing Point Black Carbonesque, 0.9mm cursive italic nib, Diamine Midnight, for a long session of quick note-taking and studying. At least I enjoyed using the pen.

My black Lamy safari with 1.1mm nib.

MB 149 - I have some cheap fountain pens on my desk, but this one stays with me.

Chinese Haolilai 601F from Todd at isellpens.com, with Noodler's HOD.

Pilot vanishing point (main)

Lamy Safari (backup)

Lamy Joy Calligraphy (for practicing my abyssimal penmanship when I am bored)

[jakespoppy]

I didn't really settle on one pen today, picking up 5 or 6 different ones during the day, but mostly used a Hero 616 Jumbo with Aurora Black, the least expensive pen of the lot, but a very nice writing pen.

[Hemingway]

Today I've been on a safari trip (penwise that is) one with an F nib and one with an 1.1mm nib. Dark Matter in the first and MB Burgundy Red in the latter.

The Nakaya Negoro arrived this morning. Not a great shot, but I took the picture quickly just to share my excitement, hooray! *Still happy dancing*

:puddle: very nice!

 

i used my Smart For Two Fountain Pen in Black with Pelikan Black ink.

 

no more writing for me today, but i wonder what pen i'll use tomorrow :hmm1:

[reprieve]

Edison Herald Grande in tortoise celluloid, broad nib, Caran d'Ache Saffron.

Nakaya Housoge Kikyo, music nib, Aurora Blue.

Pilot Vanishing Point Black Carbonesque, 0.9mm italic nib, Diamine Midnight.

Today I jotted BSB notes with the '40s Waterman lever-filler and updated my books in violet pensée with the Hero 329. A letter to an old college friend was written in Diamine Sapphire using my Lamy 2000 (of the correct period, incidently.)

[RockFL]

Today I used my Jinhao 500 medium nib fountain pen with Lamy Black ink in a converter (not a cartridge fan). I'm still surprised at the quality of this pen considering the price (less than $5 on eBay). It writes very well, starts right up after no use for several days, and people always comment on it when I pull out the pen to sign a receipt. For a daily-use writer that I'm not too nervous to carry around town, this pen can't be beat.

 

Can't wait to try Montblanc Irish Green and Lavender Purple in it (assuming, of course, that my family actually read my birthday wish list).

[riff raff]

Grey Esterbrook J with smoooooth 2668 nib, loaded with Peacock Blue.

[nilpf]

Not the "Rotring" Newton 600. A BIG disappointment.

 

Lamy Studio and a smattering of Safaris.

[Bill Smith]

Today's pen is a c.1946 Canadian Cedar Blue Parker 51 Vac with a gold filled cap inked up with Noodlers V Mail Midway Blue.

[usnavydoc]

Parker 350 true blue cir 1929.
