What Pens Are You Using Today?

[fitzharry]

Today I am using my Waterman Edson with Waterman South Sea Blue ink, my Pelikan 1000 Souveraen with Noodler's Purple ink, and my Sheaffer Balance II Amber Glow with 18kt Feathertouch nib and Noodler's Antietam ink.

While at my keyboard, have a Estie 444 Dip-less well; the holder has a 9668 Firm Medium nib installed. Ink is MB Black (hey, I gotta use the (bleep) up somehow and it is useless in FPs as such.)

 

Hmmm...don't have anything else inked up at the moment...but I got the Pel Level 5 (14K nib) and Sheaf Intrigue Silken Bark from Nikko this week. The Pel is gonna be fun--the 50ml bottle is empty and I can fill'er with whatever I want...and I may just want Midnight Blues...

 

Bill...amazed I don't have more pens ready to go...

Today, a Lamy Al-Star, EF Nib, with Legal Lapis; a Levenger True Writer filled with Noodler's Kiowa Pecan; and a Parker "51" Special filled with Levenger's Raven Black.

1.Early 1970s Pelikano running on Waterman's blue/black - a real surprise, smooth and faultless writing in what was meant to be a "school" pen.

 

2. Black and gold PFM V with medium nib using some sort of Noodler's blue (label came off the bottle).

 

3. Modern Aurora 88 filled with blue black quink.

 

I like number 2 because its such a cool design.

 

I am using the 88 because although it doesn't skip any more it has in the past and I want to learn to trust it. I have a range of the early 88s ( 88, 88K and 88P and "Magic Reservoir") and I really want to convince myself that the modern Auroras are as good as the vintage ones.

Well, back to work today after a long hiatus (self-imposed, of course) so I will take my EF Lamy 2000 filled with Noodler's Aircorp and a Parker 51 Vacumatic with Noodler's Blue/Black.

 

cheers,

John

Today I intended to start out with my new Danitrino Mikado in raw ebonite and then to move to a Aurora 88P vintage but in the end I have just stayed with the Mikado.

 

Its the biggest fattest pen I have ever held and it just goes and goes. About 15 A4 pages by my count and no sign of needing a refill.

[Taki]

Good morning, everyone! JD must be enjoying the quiet house

 

Same pens as yesterday, VP's are hard to beat when I'm working. Hopefully I finish the fill of Ambre today and change ink in both this weekend

Good morning Taki and you are so right. Actually get to sleep late if I choose.

Gonna be a hot one and thunder bumpers in the forcast.

 

Today my lead pen is my Indian made Wality ED, a large pen with a very decent nib.

Hi Friends,

 

Today is a great day ....

I just received my brand new PILOT CUSTOM 823 from Taizo (a wonderful and trustful seller). I've tested it with blue Mont blanc Ink. The feeling was increadible . It seems that this pen is much better than my SAILOR 1911 with 21K Naginata nib. Let's see after one week ....

:roflmho:

 

Regards,

Hello. Today it is new Pilot Knight (Black) M nib, Private Reserve Plum. Alternating when I get bored (happens alot) with Lamy Al-Star (metallic green) M nib, PR Buttercup Yellow and Sheaffer Slim Targa (steel) M nib with Caran d'Ache Sunset. Really love the Pilot...and the Lamy...and the Sheaffer...

You would not have believed the cloud burst yesterday Taki; all the fur balls went berserk.

Good morning, it is 60F and it’s going to be very sunny.

 

Today my lead pen will be my Laban Cigar, a surprisingly good writer.

 

[Taki]

Good morning, JD. Hope your doggies have better day today (sounds like they will). 62F and we are going to have nice sunny day, but now we need to wa ter some of the trees in our yard.

Good morning Taki and everyone who is up.

I am not using my Visconti, I am so sad about it but it would be a shame not to see it go to someone who could use it. sniff

60F and going up.

 

So today my lead pen will be the relly big Namixin and PR American Blue.

[Taki]

Good morning, JD. I hope the Visconti will find a good home 72F already

 

Today Aurora Green Optima with greeen ink with factory italic nib to write a baby shower card. Might also use FPN pen with Florida Blue.

Today I am using my Pelikan 1000 Souveraen Black & Green with fine nib and Noodler's Purple Ink, my Pelikan 800 Souveraen Black & Red with fine nib and Pelikan Koenigsblau Ink, and my Waterman Edson Diamond Black with medium nib and Waterman South Sea Blue Ink.

I'm using a newly arrived Platinum maki-3 (phoenix), which I bought at auction on a whim (and figured I'd give away as a gift)...and instead discovered how much I enjoy writing with it. Wonderfully smooth nib. Filled it with PR plum and I'm off taking notes...
