I'm PIFing my Jinhao which is currently half full of 54th Mass, so I'm using that exclusively until it runs out of ink.

I"m visiting Nail City today. Two wonderfully smooth nails.

Still using my newly restored Sheaffer Triumph plunger filler. This thing is a true pleasure to write with. Diamine Asa Blue.

And the surprise contender, a Parker Vector fountain pen from the mid-80's. With a Parker Quink black cartridge it writes more grey than black, but it's still fun and verrrry smooth.

 

I've had this Vector for at least 15 years and never used it until last night when I found a cartridge and stuck it in. Fun discovery.

Received in the mail today a TWISBI Micarta v2 that has a wonderful medium butter stub from the inimitable Pendleton Brown.

 

I had had my eye on this pen for a while. It fits my aesthetic with it's pseudo industrial, pseudo organic kind of material. It already has a variation in colors and textures (fuzzy threads), and then add to it, a wonderfully smooth stub that's had a special rainbow treatment, and now it's a killer pen.

 

I filled it with Sailor Jentle Epinard and I call it my Spinach in Browned Butter. So far it is the only pen that can rival my Parker 51 stub for writing pleasure. And I love the look and feel of it. This is a pen that will acquire patina.

 

 

And the nib is so cool. Rough, smooth, shiny, burnt, multi-hued. It fits, so well.

 

 

 

Might as well just assume that this is what I'm using for the foreseeable future.

It's the same thing every day.

Why? Because these are my favorites.

My all time everyday pen: Black Parker Sonnet with fine nib.

I am also using a Gold Parker 75 with a extra fine nib.

I have two Parker 51s and a Parker 180.

The only non-Parker on my desk is a Pilot with medium nib... and a Montblanc Meisterstuck Classique ballpoint black.

I didn't do my usual Sunday night filling ritual this week, and ALL of my pens ran out of ink during class today. So, first it was the Platinum Balance with green ink, then the Lamy Al-Star with burgundy, then the Lamy Al-Star with black, then the Jinhao with green, and then I had to resort to the Parker Jotter ballpoint. Whoops!
