What Pens Are You Using Today?

[RobbyM]

I have 3 today - Visconti midi rollerball (vanilla), Visconti mini fountain pen (ocean blue), and Parafernalia Revolution (really cool ballpoint).

[Phormula]

I use a Schneider Base as a general purpose writing tool in the office. The pen is translucent blue and has been serving me faithfully for many years. I like the fact that I can leave it in the pen holder on my office desk, stay away for a while, come back, take it and it starts writing perfectly from the beginning. And Iknow I can leave it there because a plastic fountain pen that looks like a schoolpen does not say "steal me" :ltcapd:

 

For taking notes in meetings and for my letters I use the following ones:

• Faber Castell Ambition, black, fine nib.
  
• Rotring Newton, black, medium nib.
  
• Waterman Graduate, chrome, fine nib.

Today's selections:

 

Lexon Classic (don't think Lexon makes fountain pens any longer) M nib with Asa-gao

 

Levenger Plumpster on a Diet B nib with Eclat de saphir

 

Waterman Audace M with Waterman Havana. Giving this pen one last go before selling it. I can't get it to write wet enough for my taste, even after spreading the tines as I've seen so many do on this site.

 

Lamy 2000 BB with Bleu myosotis

[Pippin60]

Montegrappa Espresione, and Waterman Careen
