What Pens Are You Using Today?

[jd50ae]

Good morning Taki, really great coffee this am.

62F and going to be in the 90s with no relief in sight.

 

Going fountain penless(?) today and will I attempt legible with no splatters dip pen history.

 

[Taki]

Good morning, JD!! You beat me to it I had very good coffee, too.

 

Same pens as yesterday. I had forgotten how nice Intrigue's F nib writes. I got it at very good price from Pen Hero, wish I had gotten another.

Today it's a Lamy Al-Star F nib with PR Orange Crush.

The Lamy always writes well on most paper (apart from Moleskines, but let's not go there!) and the orange crush ink produces wonderful shades that make the writing look like flames.

MB 145 XF loaded with Noodler's Nightshade and a blue carbonesque F loaded with MB holiday's ink.

[Taki]

Good morning, JD and all who are up alaready. No rain

 

Another day at work, but at least it's Firday. Same pens as yesterday. Like the pens and

the inks.

Gosh darn Taki I thought it was Wednsday. I gotta beat feet to the phone company before they disconnect me.

I'm back, that was close.

Good morning Taki, it is very nice and sunny out. It will change <_<

 

Today is Dragon Friday.

Bexley Watley Sr (aka Father of Watley) in my pocket. Campbell's vegetable soup color celluloid, broad nib, Noodler's Army Green ink.

 

In the 4 pen case are Dani-Trio raw ebonite, Laban Mento in a green & brown marbled color (not shown in their catalog online so I don't know it's name) with some brown ink, a Michael's Fat Boy fountain pen and roller both in Levenger's special copper color.

 

First day in ages without my Binder Pharaoh and I'm going through withdrawal.

[PAKMAN]

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.

 

Parker Black and Pearl Duofold Streamline Jr, '30 with Sheaffer Skrip Black

 

Pelikan 400 Soverign blue stripe with Parker Penman Sapphire

[jd50ae]

Good morning Taki. 67F and no rain again, we need it so bad.

It's Saturday and making a decision about which pen to use is too much work.

What ever pen leaps to my hand gets the nod today.

Back to the coffee and doing nothing.

[PAKMAN]

A simple brown Esterbrook J with a signature stub nib (thanks JD) and Private Reserve Black Cherry ink.

 

Waterman Carene Amber Shimmer with Waterman Florida Blue.

 

Conklin Endura Sr Black and Bronze with De Atramentis Vanilla ink

[jd50ae]

Good morning Taki, I hope you slept well and the coffee is superior.

64F and no chance of rain until tomorrow. We are in the middle of a serious drought and the farmers need relief soon.

 

Today is an all M800 day.

[jimg]

Blue and black marbled 1930s Esterbrook "Relief' with a CS#5 nib and Noodler's Polar Blue. Willing to put up with the atomic nib creep for the cool colour.

 

Dove grey Esterbrook "J" with medium flex 9788 nib.

 

Dangerous looking Platinum #3776 "Writers' Edition Samurai" with a medium nib.

 

The last two using daggy old blue Quink.

[Taki]

Good morning, JD and everyone. Hope everyone had a good weekend! It's 73F and Clear. 100% chance of raien this PM, though

Hi All!

 

Just for fun, I thought I'd list what FPs I'm using at work today:

 

Purple Argentine Parker 51, with the Purple Sheaffer Quink which matches it.

Maroon Parker 65, with I think a Noodler's Rose ink, this pen has a lovely stub nib.

Gunmetal Grey Waterman Liason (?) with a generic blue international cartridge. A good workhorse pen with a nice gold nib.

My first "real" FP: A Cross pen (not sure what model), black with gold trim and nib - a present from my Dad. Blue cross cartridge - boring ink but I need at least one pen with blue or black ink for filling out Vacation requests!

A Purple Sheaffer Calligraphy pen with a smoothed medium calligraphy nib.

A RoseGlow Sheaffer Triumph with some Rose-colored ink.

A THINK pen in the Fuschia-Pink-Green color - my Xmas present.

An Omas demonstrator pen with Herbin Gris Nuage ink - this is such a wet writer that I can actually use this gray ink in it.

An Esterbrook with a Signature nib.

 

I like to have a lot of pens inked up with different colored inks and nibs!

 

Bye for now,

 

Erica

1. Bexley Americana in Sanibel Blue, M Nib, PR American Blue - this has become one of my go to pen and ink combinations.

 

2. Parker 51, black with Sterling cap, binderized F nib, Aurora Black - this has ALSO become one of my go to pens. Its a true F nib, but with the smoothness of a glassy B. Truly a remarkable writing instrument.

 

3. Pelikan M400, red stripe, F nib, Aurora black - cause it ain't a day without a bird.

[artaddict]

Using my latest acquisition - a Pilot Prera, Ivory, fine point - amazingly smooth, better than 78G, elegant design. Inked with Black Cherry with a touch of Saguaro Wine & Tanzanite...
