What Pens Are You Using Today?

[jd50ae]

Good morning Taki. It is a sunny 51F day and promises to be a good one.

 

Today I am going to spend some time using my newly Binderized Visconti Van Gogh. Found some ink I think will work and now I need to "learn" the pen.

[Taki]

Good morning, JD! High in 60's today. Mmmm...Binderized Visconti

My just-arrived-yesterday Virginia Woolf MB, fine nib, filled with Pelikan Violet. I love how it writes, so smooooth...

[PAKMAN]

Well I'm off work today so it is official pen flush out day! I think I'll write with then clean out every inked pen in the house today. May take a while, I've been a little carried away with new pens and ink. Lets see:

 

First to get the Americian Blue out of the FPN LE

Next the Waterman 54

Then the Carene

Sheaffer Legacy II

2 51s

The Grand Place

2 Reform Calligraphy pens

The 400

A little Este

The ruby Prelude

Hmmm that 52 1/2 and little Wahl Oxford might need cleaning too

 

Man looks like a busy day of writing and cleaning!

 

Going this afternoon to my restoration buddy with a Red Este, a black and pearl Duofold Jr. and a ring top Lapis Conklin Endura to get them up and running, will ink them up this afternoon and try them out, the little Conklin has a real flexy nib!

 

Can't go anywhere for a while, got a little package coming USPS with signature required!

Doin' the happy dance just thinking about it!!!!

Good morning, JD. It's 42F and high will be in mid 70's. Don't know why but really busy lately ...don't even have much time to go online, let alone using pens for something other than work.

decimo with Arabian Rose

Today I'm rolling with a fine point Lamy 2000 filled with Noodlers Black and my Aurora Optima filled with black Chelpark ink (a brand made in India). It was a cool 110 degrees here in Bodhgaya ... quite a relief from the 117 we saw a couple days back. Hope everyone is well!

[Leigh R]

Visconti Skeleton filled with Caran d'Ache Sunset.

Pilot E music nib with PR Black Cherry.

Pilot Capless with Binder crisp italic and green Parallel Pen ink.

Pelikan M600 with Binder flexy XF and Waterman Florida Blue.

Plus I accidentally used a ballpen but I survived.

Stipula Ventidue Platinum M with Noodlers Ottoman Rose

Waterman Expert II M with Private Reserve Spearmint

Parker Sonnet Ruby Laque M with Parker Black

Lamy Al-Star F with Private Reserve Shoreline Gold

[jonro]

This Sheaffer Lifetime desk pen came in the mail today. It has a very smooth 14K medium nib. I filled it with Florida Blue and am going to use that for a while. I'm also using a Parker 51, and I took my Pelikano out to lunch.

[rpscott123]

I am currently using a Pilot Laquer pen that I recently bought during my trip to Japan. I love the way it writes. The nib is very flexable and working perfectly with my writing style.

[pelikana]

Hi everyone,

Today I don´t use a pen but yesterday I used my Pelikano for writing a letter.

[Ghost Plane]

Yard O Led pocket in barley that was such an incredible steal from a guy who was clueless what he had other than "well, it's silver and one of those old fashioned pens" and wanted to unload it. I use it for my morning journals and the B nib is the juiciest, smoothest, most generous for floating over the page.

[Taki]

Stipula Saturno olive green with Noodler's Purple Martin.

[PAKMAN]

1928 Conklin Endura Sr Black and Bronze semiflex nib with De Atrimentis Vanilla Brown Ink. SWEET!

Been a while since I've taken any pictures. I love how easy Ron's light tent is to use but since the distance is fixed, Daniel's cube has oodles more flexibility. (This was taken using the former, thus the caps are cut off.

 

Left: Daily user Namiki Vanishing Point with Mottishaw right-foot obliqe nib tweaked by Binder

Top to Bottom in Winedoc 4-pen case: Danitrio raw ebonite eyedropper (aka, "that which will never run out of ink), Laban (I think the model is Mento), Michael's Fat Boy in copper, matching Fat Boy rollerball, in case I should need to loan a pen)
