Love the Grand Place picture.

Waterman Charleston (ivory) w/ Noodlers Cayenne

Morning Taki, we were under a tornado watch most of yesterday.

 

M800 and a potatoe wood

 

 

[Taki]

Morning! Hey it's the Peanut Pen

That Grand Place photo is great. Your handwriting is my ideal.

 

Today it's the Binder .6mm stub Pelikan (and I have a .6 mm stub for my Vanishing Point on its way, calloo callay) freshly loaded with Herbin Lie de Thé. I'll probably bust out the Densho with Diamine Emerald as well, and the Phileas with Legal Lapis for any envelopes.

 

I need to buy more Noodler's Golden Brown, must see if James has some in stock. I haven't used my White Tortoise in way too long and I miss it.

Yeah, I like HDoug's handwriting, too. Looks effortless (in very good way) yet very neat, legible and pleasant!!!

 

Sonia, combination of Densho and Emerald sounds beautiful! My only black pen is Lamy CP1, but I might fill it with DWL green

BTW - the handwriting is just like my own, except that it is neat, legible, elegant and doesn't wander all over the page

[JRodriguez]

Today I'm writing exclusively with my new Jade Sheaffer Flattop filled with Noodler's Black. I'm trying to decide if this should be one of the four or five I take with me to India.

Oh, yes! That's what I was going to say about MY own handwriting

 

yiterp, I see you got Zhivago...how do you like it? I almost offered a trade but I can't find my bottle....probably buried somewhere.

 

JRodriguez, when are you going to India? It's black and green the opposite combination, but sounds very nice

I leave for India on Monday (yikes!) and will likely be staying there for 18 months to complete a research project I started last year. I've been spending a lot of thought on which four or five pens to take and right now I'm certain about taking my Aurora 88, a Lamy 2000, a Lamy Al-Star with a 1.5mm and extra M nib, and my Conklin Mark Twain crescent filler. I think I want to take one more and have been debating from among my Densho, a Parker 45, my Parker "51", and now this Sheaffer I just received yesterday ...

I'm using my 1930's Sheaffer's vac-fill Balance (the pearlized grey/green one) with a medium feather touch nib. In it is Noodler's BB black which does very well in this pen. I also took my Parker 75 RB and my Sheaffer's TM Sentinel MP.

I'm using a newly obtained Waterman Edson Blue Fine point, Visconti Manhattan fine point, both with Visconti Blue Ink and a Pelikan M800 fine point with Pelikan black.

I have a weakness for green or turquoise (purple as well) in black pens. My black Sailor 1911 has decided it only likes Waterman's Purple. I bought it as an all-business pen for meetings, but I guess it has an artistic heart.

Remember the Gold Starry safety I mentioned a few days ago? That pen is currently riding in the Piquadro next to THE "51". What fun this safety is -- I loosened its semiflex nib up just the least little bit, and it writes like a bleedin' dream!

Still enraptured with the Sheaffer, but I also inked up a Parker 45, as I'm headed to a going away camping party tonight.
