What Pens Are You Using Today?

[elpaninaro]

Inked up a recently acquired Dupont Olympio Vertigo II XL size yesterday and have been using it at work. A bit heavier than I expected- this one seems a bit more weighty than my older ones.

Today's pen is my newly arrived TWBSI 530 with medium nib inked up with Pilot Iroshizuku Asa Gao ink. The pen writes great out of the box!

I finally got around to inking my Wall Street LE in blue I snagged a few months ago. I was too scared to use it, but I'm getting a silver Homo Sapien and I needed to try out the Visconti medmium nib.

 

It's delicious. I love it and I am so glad I bought it. I'm a total Visconti convert.

I've been carrying a Namiki VP in blue kasuri for about a week.

 

I think it may well be my final reply to this thread!

 

It looks great; writes beautifully; and perhaps most importantly for a carry pen - can be made ready to write from shirt to paper entirely one-handed!

 

Which, in my job, means no fumbling about trying to uncap a pen while standing up and balancing a huge bundle of documents in my left hand!

I'm still (yes, still) using:

Oldwin in blue marbled celluloid, Iroshizuku Fuyu-syogun

Sailor 1911 Sterling, Naginata nib, Sailor Kobe Ink Story Arima Amber

Delta Oro, broad nib, Diamine Midnight

 

I am loving my Oldwin! It fits perfectly in my hand, and reminds me of the beautiful winter skies of Paris. And the Arima Amber ink in the Sailor is divine--it makes me think of root beer. And the Delta Oro, of course, is so cheerful! Orange! Orange pens are so happy!

I've started not changing pens daily and instead keeping to one for days and weeks. Here's my current journal pen, my Pelikan M605, loaded with Sailor Kiwa Guro ink.
