What Pens Are You Using Today?

[Bill Smith]

It's hot and muggy here in Toronto and I am using a Flighter Parker 75 and Noodler's Blue on the Plains of Abraham.

 

[Tom L]

Three pen-dealer special pens it turns out. Didn't even realize it until I was talking to Alriel this evening.

 

3) Swisher special Van Gogh

2) Tom Westerich special Visconti (a Divine Proportion without the metal edges)

1) Binder The Pharaoh

Early to bed early to rise.

Good morning Taki and the rest of the awake part.

Work and little road trip to Jackson so utility pens today.

Oh yea, 70F and a 60% chance of rain. 50% yesterday and not a drop.

 

Lamy and Pilot.

Good morning, JD, Pep, and everyone! High will be mid 80s. Clear.

 

I'm making a road trip, too. Don't know if I'm using pens but taking My Sailor and Pink Prera.

Good morning Take, JD, & All!

 

Have a good road trip Taki. I see you've changed your Avatar.

 

Have not had my coffee yet, too early to decide on pens. :blink:

No road trips for me. Snug in my (air conditioned) office; 78F and ~56% humidity. Supposed to be pushing 90F today. Also a 15 bunny morning on my run.

 

Mainly using the Pel M205 with Sheaffer Blue-Black today. FPN LE with medium Minuskin steel stub and Noodler's Apache Sunset waiting in the wings if the Pel runs dry (it's getting a little low.

Today I'm using my Bexley Deluxe II and Parker 51 Vac, both fine nibbed, both filled with Aurora Black. In addition I'm using my Lamy 2000 with medium nib and Private Reserve Midnight Blues (prettiest blue-black IMO).

[PAKMAN]

Good Day all!

 

Today at work I'm using:

 

Lamy 2000 EF with De Atramentis Vanilla Brown

Parker 45 Flighter with Binder Blurple

 

Cleaned out the MB 145 Chopin

Plan to clean out the Waterman Carene Amber Shimmer tonight

and also the Black and Pearl Wahl Gold Seal

 

Will ink up the Dove Gray 51 Vac tonight and test it out (freshly restored)

And practice flex writing with my Lapis Blue Wahl Gold Seal tonight

Journal tonight will be with my Gold Celese Parker 75 and Noodlers Legal Lapis

It says Pilot Crystal FS on the sticker. Just got it yesterday from speerbob in Thailand (a replacement, the first one had a bad nib). It is GREAT!!!! I will do a review later today, hopefully. Clear demonstrater, squeeze converter, semiflex Asian fine nib. If this is the same nib as the 78G I will be in heaven when the two I ordered from Todd at isellpens.com arrive.

After losing 3 pens in one fell swoop a few weeks ago (sigh), I treated myself to a long-wished-for pen: the Delta DolceVita mini...it arrived a few minutes ago and I have it inked with PR Orange Crush (beautiful!).

[southpaw]

Today so far it's been my piston fill (integral converter) Nebula CS100 with IF nib tweaked by Deb Kinney, inked with Diamine Tropical Blue; a blue Sheaffer TouchDown Imperial IV inked with Noodlers/Swishers Aquamarine Contract Ink, and a KawecoSport blue ice eyedropper filled with Diamine Presidential Blue.

[coco]

Been using a M400 tortoise, filled with Apache Sunset, which is not only a wonderful writer, but it's soothing my spirits after losing my favorite writer, a red striated M400 (I dropped my 3-pen pen pouch during numerous outings on a busy weekend...I just keep hoping whoever found it is treasuring those pens!).

My condoleences on your loss. I'm amazed at your acceptance of this loss. I'd be depressed for a week or two (until I replaced them with some new beauties).

 

I didn't read your message until today...thanks for your thoughts.

[Shangas]

My Montblanc Meisterstuck 145 saw a lot of use today. It was used for notes, diary-entries, and was used to pen down two letters (which I shall send tomorrow), to my local library, regarding the quality...or LACK THEREOF...of their products...

[Taki]

Good morning, JD, Pep, coco, Don and everyone! It's 59F and high will be in 70's. Maybe some rain tonight.

 

Sailor Professional Gear Slim Mini F nib with Sailor Blue-black

Sheaffer Intrigue Auburgine F nib with Herbin Poussiere de Lune

[dwmatteson]

Good morning all!

 

I wrote the Pelikan M205 dry yesterday, so I've inked up my Lamy 2000 fine nib with Sailor Jentle Blue and I'll be toting that around today. I'll also have in my pocket case a black Sheaffer PFM III fine nib with Sheaffer Skrip Blue-Black.

 

The three-pen case that lives in my bag will contain the FPN LE medium steel Minuskin stub nib with Noodler's Apache Sunset, yellow Sailor 1911 fine-medium nib with Aurora Black, and a dove gray Parker "51" special fine nib with Noodler's Eternal Black.

Waterman Liasion with Noodler's Zhivago. Bold ink for a bold pen!

[artaddict]

Good afternoon Taki, JD, Don, and All,

 

It's dark and stormy here in upstate NY.

 

I'm using my little Lady Duofold with Quink & the trusty Sheaffer Feathertouch with Polar Black.

 

Just got PR Daphne Blue in a trade so I put that in the Osmiroid calligraphy pen.

[Lloyd]

Hey...where is everybody!

 

Well, I guess I'll start this today. It's 70 and expected to get into the 80's today in Massachusetts.

 

I'm using my beloved Pilot custom 743 with FA nib with pilot blue black ink

Pelikan M605 after (Deb K. touched it up) filled with a mix of Pilot blue, Levenger Cobalt & a drop of Noodlers Black

1949 Parker 'P51' filled with Noodlers Red Black.
