What Pens Are You Using Today?

[RGW]

Right now I use a Pelikan M215 all day, everyday. Ballpoints no longer exist to me! Sadly, at close inspection it's quite obvious I've used it almost everyday for almost a year.

I am using Pelikan M200 with Rohrer & Klingner's old golden green ink, inbetween a Parker with a calligraphy nib, filled with an ink I haven't managed to warm to; coffee brown from Standardgraph. I am currently just doing some homework (grammar) and not much creative writing.

I bought a new Mont Blanc 146 Solitaire Steel II yesterday, and have playing with that. It came with a medium nib but I think I will exchange it for either a B or an OB. I have also used my Mont Blanc 149 with OBB nib and my Coffee Lamy Al-Star with OB nib. It has been a good day!

Today I inked up my vintage Waterman's #7 with pink nib. I am using J. Herbin Encre Cafe' Des Iles (Brown) ink. Super flex nib writes very wet, but looks good on paper with this color ink.

Lamy Al Safari with a cartridge of Lamy Blue. Took notes at Church in my Molskine notebook. I actually run two of them one is work related tasks and activities - great for convincing the boss at the end of the year that I've actually done work.

 

Still a little bummed out, dropped my Pelican Future in the Airport, without realizing it. Didn't notice until I dropped the Safari, loading luggage into the car. Oh, well ... it's not like the future is an expensive pen. I'll walk to the shop I bought it at in a week or so and get another one to replace it, or maybe the Pelican Style italic pen.

Lamy Al-Star, EF nib filled with Noodler's Legal Lapis, and a Parker 45 SS/GT with XF nib and Noodler's Black. Rubricating is happening with a Sheaffer school pen, Diamine Monaco Red.

 

Speaking of which, anyone know where you can get '45 nibs in XF? They seem to be rarer than hen's teeth, especially considering they were once sold separately.
