My pelikano...junior

Lamy Safari w/ 1.1 (deadly jealous of Doug's 0.5 above), inked with PR DC Supershow Blue.

Random eyedropper that came with my Noodler's HoD, inked with Waterman Red.

[Dan Solomon]

An Esterbrook J (beautifully restored by Ron Zorn) with a smooth 9461 nib loaded with Diamine Royal Blue. A sweet write!

[pavoni]

A simple but elegant Parker 21 with Parker Quink blue. Like a loyal family pet, the '21' greeted me on first invitation with a reassuringly clean blue line on to a virgin piece of Clairefontaine. Magic.

 

Pavoni.

Today is the first day with my new Pilot Vanishing Point. It is slate grey with a medium nib, and currently filled with Waterman Blue Black. It is a pen of firsts for me:

• first gold nib
  
• first pen from Richard Binder
  
• first pen over $100
  

I don't get to take it to work because of the weather here has things closed, but I'll catch up on some cards I need to write.

I've got an L2k and a Bexley 10th anniversary sitting on my desk, but I keep reaching for a clear TWSBI...PR American Blue looks so good in it!

So far:

Esterbrook Dollar pen (1934-8) with Noodler's La Coleur Royale

Parker 51 aerometric with Pelikan royal blue

Pilot Plumix medium italic with Noodler's Kiowa Pecan

[HDoug]

OK, I loaded the M605 with my blue-black mix "Midnight Rain" and gave it a spin yesterday. Continuing with it today to destroy some perfectly innocent white space in a Kunst & Papier journal. For some reason, the .5mm cursive italic from Richard Binder is wider than my others. For a while I was thinking of returning it, but instead I'll keep it and learn how it likes to be held. Here's a pic:

Delta OS clear demo button filler, stub nib, Montblanc Racing Green.

Sailor 1911 Sterling, Naginata nib, Sailor Kobe Arima Amber.

Nakaya Redbird, broad nib, Iroshizuku Ku-jaku.

[YouUlulate]

Today, it was my Parker 51 inked with Waterman Havana brown (A great name for an ink, but a little too much on the red side for my tastes), my trusty Jinhao pocket pen inked with Pelikan 4001 brilliant brown, and a wonderful Lamy 99 with Aurora black. Today's the first day I've really put the Lamy through any rigorous writing, and I think the nib (a beautiful Medium semi-stubish 14K) is a little too broad for my shrunken note-taking handwriting.

waterman expert, the pen ive borrowed from my friend:)

[hsianloon]

Newly arrived Platinum 3776 Black Resin with music nib, with private reserve Invincible Black...very smooth pitch black ink...I'm a happy man

How 'bout a rOtring 900 just received in today's mail, chrome with a B nib, inked with Diamine Imperial Purple. What a cool ink color, and an interesting, long pen

[KrazyIvan]

Today was a Lamy Safari kind of day.
