What Pens Are You Using Today?

[abp]

Good morning all,

 

This weeks choice is a Dunhill Sidecar FP and pencil set. Black with silver (paladium) clip and bands. Using Herbin "Rouge Cyclamen" ink. Understated and simple (only a converter fill) but with quality running through it like a stick of rock.

[Taki]

Good morning!

 

I think I will use Pilot 78G with Legal Lapis, decimo with Quinkerman, and maybe M400 White Tortoise with my Purple-Grey mix. Hoping my new/old pen is coming here today or tomorrow!

Today I've inked up a Esterbrook J I recently acquired, a Filcao Columbia, and a Pelikan 800. I went two weeks in Europe with only 3 pens - a Lamy 2000, an Aurora 88 and a Lamy Safari - and it really made me appreciate the pens I had awaiting my return, some of which were new acquisitions!

Good evening, everyone!

 

I've been on the FPN for a few weeks now, but this is my first post here. Thanks for the wonderfully warm welcome!

 

Today, I've got:

 

1. Esterbrook SJ in silver with Herbin Poussiere de Lune

2. Pilot Custom 823 with Aurora Black

3. Waterman Edson with Waterman Florida Blue

4. MB 146 with MB Bordeaux - very interesting ink...

5. Pelikan Grand Place with Waterman Havana Brown

 

I inked the Estie since I couldn't wait to try the Herbin ink. I love the color and I think it could be a great match for my Pelikan Piccadilly Circus (just arrived today ) or my Decimo in Japan pink.

 

All the best,

Mike

Currently, my school line up is a Parker Vector (in green!!!) and a Yafa Quardo multipen for pencil.

Inked up a few today - my Pelikan 800, a 1.5mm Rotring art pen (I like writing letters with this), my vanishing point, and a Lamy 2000.

[goodyear]

Got my first Estie in the post (J with 9550 point). Couldn't resist filling it (PR Black Magic Blue), so now I have three pens inked again

 

So much for self-control and restraint...

[kathywc]

You know....I haven't done this in a while. Here is what is currently inked:

 

1) Lamy Vista 1.9mm stub with Firefly yellow

2) Danitrion Tosca Blue and Rust with penman sapphire

3) Pelikan M200 Blue Marble with Penman Sapphire

4) Pelikan M400 Honey Tortise with Penman Emerald

5) Shaeffer no nonsense Blue with Shaeffer peacock blue

6) Waterman Hemisphere Stainless Steel with Waterman Black

7) Ancient Kauri wooden pen with a PR brown that I've forgotten the name of

8) Lamy Vista XF with Noodlers Saguro Wine

9) Kato Seisakusho hand turned black celluloid with waterman black

10) Lyra Calypso BP with Levenger blue bahamas (ok, so it's not really a FP, but it does use FP ink!)

[penforlife]

A tough and very hectic week this has been and will continue to be. A lot of meetings and fast writing on a variety of not-so-pen-friendly surfaces. My toughest workhorses are with me:

 

Pelikan M800 with Florida Blue w' a couple of drops of south seas -- Fine nib

Pelikan M600 with Pelikan Black -- extra fine nib (for those tight spots)

Waterman LeMan 100 with Waterman Blue Black -- fine nib

Morning Taki.
