What Pens Are You Using Today?

[seikoguy]

Received this Pilot Bamboo recently and I just have not been able to put it down. The Japanese Medium nib it came with writes like the Fine nib on my blue-striped Pelikan M800. The Pilot's about the same length and heft as the Pelikan too. The pink gold clib is a nice contrast to the rest of the pen.

Today in my pocket it's my...

 

Pelikan M215 black with binder fine nib loaded with binder faux tanzanite ink

 

In my leather pen case for use at my desk it's my...

 

Parker 25 smooth fine nib also loaded with binder faux tanzanite ink

Cross ATX basalt black medium nib with Waterman Green ink

 

I like this combination as the tanzanite ink appears differently from the M215 and the 25 - in the Parker it is considerably more purple, not as dark.

Good morning JD!

 

Work day,and probably Silver VP. Feel like I want to flush out all my pens and refill with defferent ink. None of them seem right

Good morning Taki, sorry you have to work.

64 F and should be a sunny day. Probably storms on Sunday.

I'm using a just arrived Pel M200 blue transparent w/ DC Blue. Love how this pen writes. Very useful for today's roll-up-the-sleeves and tackle revisions work.

[jd50ae]

Good morning Taki, I hope you are off today and can sleep in.

58F and cloudy. Another amazing growth after a good rain.

 

I have been inspired to practice letters today so there are 3 Shaeffer calligraphy pens.

[Taki]

Good morning JD, it's really windy. Looks like another rainy day. It's another work day, but I'm off tomorrow

Have I mentioned my dislike for Photonics yet?

Today I will be using all of my pens (There's only ten!) to continue my snail-mailing. I like to write a bit of the letter with each so FPNers can see more than one. The best one is the Waterman 515, mainly because it makes my handwriting almost readable, but the nib is on the broad side of medium so my writing tends to be a bit bigger.

BTW, whoever started that thread - sorry I can't remember - WHAT A GREAT IDEA!

What's sad is that some of us needed prompting, when it seems so obvious really!

Good morning Taki. Hope you are sleeping in and have some really good coffee when you get up. How about some cream cheese and bagels...?

Hi JD, that was my plan but our little guy came into our bedroom in the middle of the night, and he said he was cold. I took him back to his room, tucked him in with an extra blanket. Then...I spare you from the detail but the dinner did not agree with him, apparently. I was scrubbing the carpet at 3 am. Oh, the joy of parent hood He is feeling fine this morning, BTW. And bagel with cream cheese sounds good

 

40 degrees F, currently scattered cloud. Supposed to storm today.

 

Ran out of ink in Silver VP yesterday. I filled it with a mix of PR Chocolat and Diamine Monaco, but it's not red enough. I might try adding more red today but I've got to order Fiesta Red. I don't know if I do much writing today besides my journal, but I am going to flush out some pens and change ink.

I had to make a trip from Bodhgaya to Varanasi this week and brought along a fine Lamy 2000 filled with Noodler's, a clear Wality ED filled with Parker Blue, and a OS Flat top Jade Sheaffer filled with Parker Black. And I'll be taking a gander at that shop in Varanasi again where I found the Parker Big Red to see if the shop owner had gotten any of his vacumatics restored.
