I have not used my black VP in a long time (months). Using it today with Diamine Ancient Copper. Why have I ignored you VP!

Add to my list for today:

 

Platinum Preppy, with Diamine Graphite.

Lamy AL-Star, flat black with medium nib, Kon-Peki.

Lamy AL-Star, aluminum with 1.1 mm Stub nib, Kon-Peki.

Lamy Safari, original charcoal color, fine nib, Kon-Peki

 

and I doodled with a 1.4 mm Pilot Parallel calligraphy pen.

 

(Broaden "using" to include cleaning, and you I can add a TWISBI 580, and a couple of Platinums.)

Both of my Vac 700's got into the rotation today, filled the amber with waterman blue and the demonstrator with oxblood.

 

Logged about 10 pages of notes during some interviews, mostly with the broad nib I have the amber fitted with.

Churchman's Prescriptor with broad oblique nib and Diamine Grey ink

Pelikan M200 with a fine nib and Diamine Orange ink.

 

The scanner has not done justice to the Orange Ink: it looks far more orange in real life.

I am using a Pilot 78g in black plastic with a fine nib, and a red pilot cartridge.

 

A smooth writer, and I could not find a better pen suited to the task (marking up draft documents) despite owning many more expensive pens. I really enjoyed working today :)

Esterbrook J; #2968 Firm Broad nib; Noodler's Liberty's Elysium

 

At the bank today the young lady waiting on me complimented my Pelikan, saying it was a beautiful pen. When I handed it to her so she could sign some documents, her face lit up like a kid on Christmas Day. Muwahahaha. Subversion one individual at a time. :)
