What Pens Are You Using Today?

[chemgeek]

Two trusty Sailor 1911M pens. One blue (with PR Midnight Blues ink) for general work the other red (with PR Dakota red ink) for grading and editing. A spare Levenger True Writer (currently loaded with PR Tanzanite) usually gets used to do the daily crossword to keep it from drying out.

 

Cheers.

Rotring core again... and a Frontier.

Lamy 2000 ef nib/Noodler's Legal Lapis

and my brand-new Taccia Imperial Portugese (forest marble) with 0.6mm Binder stub/Noodler's Luxury blue

 

The Taccia is my first stub, and now I 'get it'. I don't know if I'll be able to go back to round tip nibs again. Of course, the stub is all you would expect coming from Mr. Binder's workshop.

I'm on "one pen a week" rotation now and the pen this week is a Sailor 1911 medium size with a zoom nib. Boy is it smooth!!!

 

Last week was a Pilot Elite and next week should be a Pelikan Pharo Stainless Steel

[offbase]

Today I'm using a Pelikan M200 Amber demonstrator with Binderized .7 cursive italic nib (Noodler's Apache Sunset) and my Visconti Wallstreet LE (F) with Visconti royal blue.

[EHLawyer]

So far, I've used a Parker 51 with PR Plum, a Parker 21 with Pelikan Black and a Pelikan 200 with PR Blue suede.........not to mention an old Shaeffer cartridge pen (Black Shaeffer cartridge) to do the Jumble and Crossword puzzles..........

[chrisb]

All are filled with Waterman Florida Blue:

 

Green-striped Sheaffer 500 w/feathertouch #5 nib

Red marble Conway Stewart #15 w/fine flex 1A nib

Black Pelikan M150 with M steel nib

Black/Chrome Pelikan Silvexa M20 w/ BB nib (and is it ever a BB).

[zorroflores]

Pen of the week too:

Burgundy Reform, piston fill with blue Quink ink. Finally becoming a smooth writer after several days of use and some minutes of the brown bag treatment. The piston is also becoming smoother, gosh! it was hard when new.

 

I like the fine to medium nib and the rather wet writing, this last after tweaking the slit in the nib with a razor blade.

I'm using my Montblanc Bordeaux 145 Chopin with Montblanc Blue-Black from a bottle. It has a fine nib that's wet, so the MB BB ink makes a great match for this pen! It's one of my favorite users.

Pen of the day:

Sheaffer Targa 1003 with Mont Blanc black ink. It has a smooth writing. Somehow, I think the Mont Blanc black ink seems a little greyish from my point of view. I may use Parker blue-black ink next time.
