Lamy 2k, medium nib and Diamine Umber.

Sticking with my Waterman Phileas M with black Waterman cartridge this week; have my Parker Vector M loaded with Parker Blue-Black as a backup and my Pilot Metropolitan M inked with Parker Audacious Red for editing.

Eversharp Skyliner with Noodler's Tiananmen.

Currently I am using a gel. Will buy a pilot penmanship with ergo grip soon

Fountain pen: my lowly Parker Vector loaded with Parker black cartridges.

BP: Vintage Cross Century with blue Cross refill (that I HATE and am just trying to use up, but can never bring myself to write with).

Gel: Parker Jotter loaded with a Parker gel refill.

RB: Waterman Hemisphere (but loaded with the Pilot G2 gel refills that I don't like and am trying to use up--next time I'll get the 1.0 tip).

I use the Vector a significant portion of my day despite being rather self conscious about how it looks (the bright stained glass squares pattern from 15 years ago). Man, I REALLY can't wait to get a decent fountain pen, LOL.

It was a blue kind of day...

[Diderot]

[LWJ2]

Today's pens are a Parker 21 fine nib with Pelikan's Konigsblau; a Diplomat piston filler, 14k fine nib with Noodler's Bad Belted Kingfisher and my Pelikan D200 mechanical pencil - HB 0.5mm lead.

[irrigger]

1942 Emerald Parker Vacumatic Major with Akkerman's Diep-Duinwaterblauw

A cheap Elgin with Monteverde Blue

Noodlers Piston pen with a transplanted Waterman's Ideal 2 nib filled with Akkermans China Town Red

An early 90's Pelikano with Watermans Inspired Blue

Jean Pierre Lepine Indigo with Edelstein Aventurine

[Baric]

Today's carry pen is the Platinum 3776 Century Chartres Blue with a Music nib, filled with Pigment Blue.

[2dollarsaday]

Brand new Sailor 1911M black with Diamine Oxblood. Absolutely love the pen, but the jury is still out on the ink.

[kpyeoman]

Pilot Custom 74 (clear demonstrator), b nib with Aurora Blue

 

Sailor 1911 standard (black with rhodium trim), m nib with Diamine Ancient Copper

 

Sheaffer Intrigue (black stencil), m nib with Sailor Sky High

 

 

The C74 is one of my recent purchases from Engeika. It's a screaming good deal. For around $100, I got an awesome pen and I added the Con70 converter. I really like the size of the pen and the looks of the clear demonstrator are superb. Lots of chrome, mechanical-looking parts, etc., all in a classy profile. I can see why it's one of Brian Goulet's favorite pens and I'd recommend it as well. I much prefer it to my Custom Heritage 92.

 

William, congrats on your Parker 180 and I hope you're enjoying it!

[william2001]

Wot no sonnet?

I know. A surprise.

 

OK, today I'm using my Parker Sonnet (there, you happy?), Parker 180, Parker 75, all with Paradise Pen black ink.

Then, guess what arrived today... my Pilot Metropolitan. Yay. I'm using the cartridge that came with the pen.
