I left the house for work tonight with three pens:

 

Sheaffer No Nonsense; Translucent Teal, Fine Italic Nib, filled with Noodler’s Squeteague

 

Esterbrook SJ; Black, 1554 Nib, filled with Waterman Black

 

Pelikan M600; Translucent Blue, Binder ItaliFine, filled with Noodler's Midnight

MB 144 Sonnet (115 anniversary Cisele) and early new model Duofold Centennial. The MB 144 has been a delightful surprise. The pen one day fell out of my pocket into a filing cabinet and was there for 3 years. The MB cartridge leaked. I found the pen 18 months ago . The ink had dried out and unknown to me also leaked. When I pulled off the cap DISASTER the pen casing fell to pieces and the nib and feed were stuck in the cap. I had two major pens to go in hospital before the MB so put it aside until later and forgot about it being sick. Last Friday night, whilst watched Sir Roger Moore in a James Bond on DVD with his Mont Blanc it suddenly occurred that with some care work using tweezers I might be able to recover the section in the cap. After 15 minutes of careful manipulation everything came out. I was shaken but not stirred by this. Half an hour later the casing over the feed was fitted. The casing has a number of hairline cracks in the resin. The question was would the pen work and would it leak. The pen works well and no leaks. Mont Blanc has thus impressed me with it's ,some might say, "fumbling clown soldier proof" resilience. :meow:

Mont Blanc 144 with MB black cartridge, Blue marbled modern Duofold with Sailor Blue/Black and Lamy 2000 with blue Skrip.

[Atoku]

I am very happy with cheap Lamy Safari. I actually think this is just a wonderful design when engineers really blessed. I like everything about that pen.

 

I use much more expensive Cross pen at work and like it too. But not that much.

A pair of Safaris, a TWSBI Diamond 540 ROC and two .5mm Uniball rollerballs.

I think I'll start with my Twsbi Micarta this morning.

[Chi Town]

Lately, this last week, I have been writing with my; Yard-O-Led Viceroy Lined and a Visconti PortoFino L.E. # 26 of 150, TWSBI Micarta and finally, I think, C.L. Lewis Woodgrain NOX Deluxe. All of these I have done Reviews on in case you want to look at them here on FPN, by their names that I have supplied here.

Cross hatch silver Parker 75 with Quink blue/black, MB 144 with MB black cartridge. This is the first anniversary of being in the FPN.

A Safari with a fine nib, inked with Private Reserve American Blue. My back up was a Platinum Preppy inked with J.Herbin Lierre Sauvage.

[Ad_Astra]

Despite being at home with nothing to do and no need for its specific advantages, I broke out the Pilot VP (F) today. Yeah, the CON-50 is small and doesn't fill well, but with that tiny nib on it, I've never cared much.

 

Inked up with Noodler's Luxury Blue. Great ink, even if it's a bit expensive.
