What Pens Are You Using Today?

[jd50ae]

Good morning Taki and everyone else that passes this way.

Gonna be in the high 90s again today with no rain on the radar.

Don't know how much writing I am going to do but I plan to keep to the M800s today.

Sorry, did not mean for photo to be so large.

Good morning, JD, Pep, and everyone. Another hot and dry day here, too.

 

I flushed out a lot of pens yasterday, and left five inked.

 

Sailor Professional Gear Slim Mini w/Sailor Blueblack

Pilot Prera Lime Green w/ Levenger Pinkly

Pilot Prera Vivid Pink w/PR Midnight Blues

Aurora Optima Italic nib w/Noodler's Green Marine

Parker Club orange (?) with Penman Emerald cart

 

Probably will be using just Sailor today.

It's a Parker 45 kind of day.

 

SS Flighter med nib filled with Binder Blurple

 

Burgundy extra fine nib filled with Noodlers Burgundy

[Shangas]

Used -

 

Cross Metropolitan. (M nib. Filled with Parker Quink J/black).

 

I've gotten myself into the habit of rotating my pens these days. If I stick to one, it grows on me, and the others get neglected. Tomorrow, I shall be using my P.51 Flighter.

Good morning Taki, JD, all!

 

Today I'm using a no name ringtop that I think I just sold. It's a nice smooth writer, filled with Quink Black.

 

Also using a new acquisition - a Lady Duofold in Green & Pearl - also with Quink, which seems safe for vintage pens.

My pen of choice for today was my palladium-finished Sheaffer Legacy 2 with Noodler's Navajo Turquoise ink--it's a great journal writer: very smooth on the paper. I also had my Waterman Edson Diamond Black with Waterman South Sea Blue ink for notetaking.

[Taki]

Good morning, JD, Pep, and everyone! It's 73F and RAINING :thumbup: And it's my day off

 

Worked extra shift last night. Started out with Sailor but switched to Vivid Pink Prera filled with PR Midnight Blues...was busy and I didn't want to drop Sailor.

 

Will be using the Sailor today for journaling.

A late good morning to you Taki.

945AM and it is already above 90F AND NO RAIN!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for screaming.

As far as pens for the day I just do not know. I know I will use at least one but your guess is as good as mine.

[Pengrump]

Started raining in Boston last night and hasn't stopped. We need the rain, but I dislike being out in it about as much as most cats do. Pens today are Pilot 823 with the ink that accompanied the pen, Bexley Americana with PR Lake Placid Blue, Dani Trio Miwaku with Herbin Lie de Thé.

Buon giorno Taki, JD, & All!

 

Hot & Humid Here.

 

Using the Sheaffer Feathertouch with Polar Black for everything - journal, checkbook, grocery list.

[handlebar]

Today it is Visconti day:Musk green with Herbin's Vert Olive and Tortoishell Demonstrator with Noodlers Kiowa Pecan.

Conklin Tiger-Eye plastic, I can't remember the model name. I bought it for curb-appeal. It has a fine point which started scratchy but is getting better. Noodler's Zhivago is the current ink in it - which I think has improved the pen's utility as well.

[donwinn]

Today I am using my new P 21 Desk Set from eBay. I actually swapped out the section etc from my exiting 21 with the one which came with the set, as the one with the set is extremely scratchy. I'll look at it tonight when I get home. Maybe could use a flush with soapy water, which I uncharacteristically did not do this time. Also using my Pilot 2A, and have my usual bevy of carries at the ready, should the need arise (P 51, Reform Calligraph, Pel M200, Hero 100 & 616, Tac Carry II, Wality 70D, Charles Hubert-Paris, Phileas F, Montblanc Ersatz, P 45 FP & GP (GP in case I need to sign something for which a (gasp) fountain pen is not suitable.)

This week, it's a lovely brown celluloid Wing Sung 237 with a conical nib. I know it's a feature they probably stole from Sheaffer, but I'm enjoying it none the less. It's loaded with Private Reserve Chocolat. Mmmmm.

PS It's 95 degrees here, but not humid, so it could be worse.

Sailor 1911 medium with blue black ink (?) just back from the factory. I traded a friend for this pen, and was having trouble with the ink flow. Sailor gave me a new nib, cleaned it, and sent it back with two cartridges. Not my favorite pen, but dynamite service from Sailor.
