What Pens Are You Using Today?

[Taki]

Good morning, JD and everyone on FPN! It's 56F and high will be in low 80's.

 

Today I will be using Pilot Legance M nib with Apache Sunset, Silver VP with Caran d'Ache Storm, and FPN pen with Florida Blue.

I used my favorite Pelikan 1000 Black & Green with Noodler's Navajo Turquoise Ink and my Sheaffer Balance LE with Noodler's Kiowa Pecan Ink today, and my Pelikan 400 White Tortoise with Noodler's Purple Ink for quick notes.

Today - Most likely, my Cross Solo XF (Pelikan Blue), a black w/rhodium Bexley Simplicity F, and maybe a Pelikan Level 65 F. Either that or my 51 Vac.

Yesterday I received a Parker 51 from judperl (eBay), so I inked it, and am using it at work today. While putting away a Phileas M I vacated from my pen case, I picked up my cheapo ($4.99 at isellpens.com - not affiliated) Reform black and gold medium inked a couple of months ago with Skrip blue-black. I wanted to see what it would take to get it writing again, and was stunned -- it wrote, without skipping, from the first touch to the paper (the back of an envelope received yesterday). Not bad for a cheapy! I also have my quartet in the 4-pen case, 2 watermans (1 Phileas F, 1 questionable, see the thread about is it a waterman regarding the chrome pen) and 2 Pelikans (1 M100 EF, which I love, and 1 Grand Prix M, which I really like). I am carrying, but have not yet used today, my Parker 45 FP & Gel (put a gel refill in a BP).

 

I did find out my P 51 with Skrip is NOT liked by the back of my paycheck (cut by ADP, our payroll service), but the ATM deposit envelope likes the 51 just fine, thank you.

Wrote a little bit with my Pelikan M200 this afternoon. I just received 2 Pelikan M150's this week which I'm using too. And I've also been writing with my Waterman Phileas of course. I use Waterman Florida Blue in all my fountain pens.

Today it's been my blue Sheaffer Imperial IV Touchdown filler with Noodlers/Swisher's Aquamarine Contract Ink, my Royale Blue Omas with Visconti Blue, and my Delta Dolcevita OverSize with Diamine Prussian Blue.

[PAKMAN]

Pelikan 400 Blue stripe with Binder .9 ItaliFine with Parker Penman Saphire and a Parker 51 Demi Teal with DC Supershow blue and a Pel Grand Place 1.1 mm crisp italic with PR Chocolat. Hope to get off long hours and working Saturdays so I can get to my pen guy and get some of my new aquisitions in working order!!

Hello! Yesterday I've received my new Haolilai 801 F from Todd Nussbaum at isellpens.com. It is as beautiful as GrantC has described it in his review. Today I'll ink it up and will use it for the first time. The pen itself feels good in the hands and I'm already excited how it will write. Greetings from good old Germany, Otto

My old Slimfold from 1962 - used it almost exclusivly since I bought it. Wonderful pen.

I don't know what to use!

 

I received 10 exquisite XXXF-nibbed pens from the lovely Mr. Binder in yesterday's mail, and have inked them all - decisions, decisions!

It's finals week here, so I'm writing more than I'd like to talk about. Luckily, I get to use this beautiful pen:

I've been using this Pilot 823 pretty exclusively this week - trying to see how fast I can run it out of ink.

Good afternoon Taki and everyone else not outside enjoying the weather.

 

I am using one of those cheap forgettable Chinese made Duke pens with Ultra Black, and my OldGriz Dragon pen with Dakota Red.

 

[Taki]

Good evening, JD and everyone. Carried my FPN pen and Ohto Tasche in my purse all day, but did not use it. Will use orange Parker "Club" pen I got from Dan Carmell for journal. It's loaded with Penman Emerald cartridge (thanks, Annie )

Good morning Taki, hope you are off today. 62F and not a cloud on radar.

 

Today I am using an M800 with American Blue and a hand turned acrylic with Dakota Red.

[Taki]

Good evening, JD. I was off and enjoyed a lazy, kicked-back mother's day.

 

Didn't write anything, but will write in my journal with Silver VP with Caran d'Ache Storm.

Today it was a Sheaffer Vac-Fil Triumph nib, black transparent barrel, gold cap, filled with Waterman Havana Brown, and a Blue Aurora Optima filled with Aurora Blue.
