What Pens Are You Using Today?

[PAKMAN]

Writing with my FPN LE today with Binder blurple. Dipped and played with my new Wahl Eversharp Lapis Gold Seal this morning before turning it over to my pen restoring buddy Danny Fudge for a new sac.

Hi everyone,

Today I don't have to use a pen but yesterday I used my Pelikano for bokkeeping. It was very nice to write with it!

[sclt45]

Today I am using a Waterman 52.

Good morning, JD. 64F and the high will be 81 today. It's my day off, but still got to do a lot of things (deactivate boobie traps (aka toys on the floor) and clean the house, do at least 4 loads of wash, get passport photos for my son, do paperwork for the license renewal of my trade, bills, take the kid to swim class...)

 

Not sure if I get to use pens much, but Sheaffer Balance Ebonized Pearl with Diamine Tropical Blue.

Today, it is a black Scheaffer "School Pen". Inexpenseive, Cartridge fill, quite light and agile and a decent writer for a super low price..it was less than 10 bucks. I rotate my pens daily so they all get some use.

A Sheaffer 500 TD with PR Black Cherry (yummy); Copper Esterbrook J with Orange Crush.

[Quicksilver]

My new favorite! A Sheaffer Valiant snorkel. I never knew I could enjoy a firm nib so much.

[Taki]

Good morning, JD and allwho are up. It's 66F and will go upto mid 80's today. The color of the sky is amazjng this morning-mixture of purple, pink, and orange lighted by the sun just below the horizon.

 

Pilot Capless Orange with blue-black cartridge

Pelikan M400 White Tortoise with Caran d'Ache Storm for fun.

[jd50ae]

Good morning Taki and anyone else tht has to be up early in the morning.

65F and it will go up, a few clouds and there is always a chance of a thunder bumper.

 

Today my lead pen is a white MOP XEZO w/18ct nib and PR DC Supershow Blue.

This is a beautiful pen and it is better made then most pens out there. It is a shame that XEZO is not more appreciated.

Heading on the road today and tomorrow for business. Only toting two pens with me:

 

1) Bexley Fun Time; Grape Cooler with Fine Nib; Waterman Florida Blue ink

2) Parker "51" special; Dove Gray with Fine-Medium Nib; Noodler's Black ink

Today it's a sweet '46 Parker '51' dove gray, stacked coin cap blue diamond clip with a recently smoothed fine-medium nib using Binder Blurple.

 

I tested my Blurple against some cartridge PR Tanzanite and found my mix to be too purple. I tried to go 50/50 on my Waterman Florida Blue / Purple but it looks like I got a little heavy on the Purple. I mixed in a little more Blue and it looks perfect!!!

 

So, added to my usage today is my favorite Desk Pen a beautiful Parker Vacumatic Golden Pearl blue diamond with striped tail to test out the revised Binder Blurple. I forgot how nice this pen writes!

I've been using this Pelikan 400 all week. It has a sweet semi-flex Fine nib, and it's pretty easy on the eyes.

Of course, my Pilot Custom 823 is also loaded and on my hip.

Don't suppose you have a writing sample from that needle-flex nib? I love Binder's flex nibs, but I've only ever tried a standard Fine.

[nhsmitty]

Hero 336. I've been wanting a fine nib and I really got a fine nib with this pen.

[Taki]

Good morning, JD. It's 65F and going to be a hot day again. We need rain but does not look like till Monday

Good morning Taki, looks like we are stuck in a weather rut. We need some serious rain.

If for no other reason then to drown the mice, they are everywhere and in huge numbers.

 

Today my lead pen is another much underrated and little known XEZO LE.

Here you go.

 

 

 

It puts down such a fine line that it accentuates small errors in writing, like not exactly retracing the up and down stroke on a lowercase "d", which is usually hidden by the nib width.

 

Pictured also is today's writer, a extra fine CS Nelson load with Smythson's royal blue ink.

Today I am using my newest toy: a Black Checked Tac Carry III, medium nib, Noodlers la coleur royale. In a word, magnificent. Winedoc told me this will probably be the last batch, as a major international manufacturer wanted to take over building this pen from Danitrio, probably as a roller ball, and likely would not allow him to continue selling the fountain pens. If you don't have one yet, run, do not walk, to get one!

 

I also am using my Wality 71 black, fine nib, LCR, and my Wality 69LFB medium with Skrip BB. I tried out my new Sheaffer unknown model which I got from eBay yesterday, with a black skrip cartridge, medium nib. Works fine, and looks kind of 60's retro. I like it and the accompanying mechanical pencil.
