What Pens Are You Using Today?

[artaddict]

Good morning Taki, JD, and all!

 

A cool morning. This thread is a nice start to the day!

 

Will probably keep using the Waterman#3 with Quink.

 

I already had my coffee but I think I need more...

[Taki]

Good morning, JD, Pep and everyone. 64F and clear day. High will be in mid 80's.

 

Today I'll be using my baby blue Sailor with PYr Tropical Blue

'Morning, all! Today's staff meeting day.

 

I'll be working on writing dry my Lamy 2000 "fine" nib with Sailor Jentle Blue (love that ink!) and my FPN LE medium steel stub with Noodler's Apache Sunset (another great ink). Should make the staff meeting go by a little faster.

An Esterbrook J in Copper and a Parker "51" Special (though it's wanting to skip on me)

[OboeJuan]

Good afternoon. Pilot Knight (black) filled with Lamy Black ink, Caran d'Ache Ecridor Retro with Lamy black and MB 149 filled with 1/2 CDA Sunset and 1/2 J. Herbin Orange Indian mix. Very stunning.

Waterman Hemisphere in marbled green lacquer finish, medium nib and Noodler's Zhivago ink. I have two Hemispheres. They are very reliable and affordable.

Good evening Taki, Pep and everyone else, got a very late start today.

91F and no rain.

Got a package from speerbob today. Picked out the Pilot Crystals and will be checking them out.

Good evening Taki, JD, & all,

 

Today I bought a Sheaffer Calligraphy set at the art store - one black pen body (with white dot!) and three nibs (F, M, B ) .

I like the Sheaffer italic pens because of their generous ink flow.

 

I used the fine nib today with a black Sheaffer cartridge.

Today was a busy writing day, so I used my 1945 Parker "51" in sterling silver and Cedar Blue with Noodler's Red for numbers, my Bexley Poseidon in tortoise with Waterman Havana Brown for notes, and my Waterman Edson Diamond Black with Waterman South Sea Blue for signatures.

 

I'm also using my Pelikan 1000 Souveraen with Noodler's Purple for writing in my journal tonight...

[grasshopper]

I decided to ink up my FPN LE yesterday, filling it with Waterman SSB, to add to the grey Decimo and the navy-grey Aero 51.

 

 

raf.

And a jolly good morning Taki and pep (may I call you pep) and all of you returning from your exercises.

69F, going into the 90s and not a chance of rain.

Today it is my three perfect Pelikans.

[Taki]

Good morning JD, Pep and everyone.

 

The Sailor and Pel m250 with Apache Sonset today.

 

Pep, is the calligraphy set a vintage? Do I see a review coming soon?

[artaddict]

Good morning Taki, JD, and everyone!

 

Too early to pick but I'm guessing the Sheaffer Calligraphy FP.

 

Taki, nope, it's not vintage - I think it just came out and someone has reviewed it!

[dwmatteson]

Good morning everyone! It's a comfy 66 degrees in Buffalo, with a high of 82 coming our way. Today I'm off to do some site visits, so I need a couple of good reliable writers. I've chosen:

 

Yellow fine-medium nibbed Sailor 1911 with Aurora Black and

1946 (fourth quarter) Toronto manufacture fine nibbed cedar blue Parker "51" vacumatic with lustraloy cap and PR Black Magic Blue (I think that's what I put in there, anyway).

Two pens in use today: a Grey Esterbrook J with a 2284 nib and PR lake Placid Blue and a Sheaffer Roseglow OS Balance with a medium nib and Waterman Black

 

 

[Ernst Bitterman]

After a couple of days with LOWS of 30C (86ish F), the weather has moderated, and celebrational whimsy dictates I take my Waterman 12 to work today.

[gregkoos]

Swan Leverless with a #2 nib filled with Waterman's Blue/Black. I recently purchased this c1940 pen from Ross McKinney. He is correct in writting that these semi-flexible nibs are a great fun. I can't wait for a Waterman that is soon to be in my paw!

[missclimpson]

At work I use an Esterbrook desk pen with a 9556 nib. I like the feel of it in my hand and the balance. I carry another Esterbrook with a 2556 nib in my purse. At home I mostly use a Sheaffer with a fine gold nib. My favorite ink right now is Duke blue black. I recently purchased a Duke Complete Esteem, but I don't like it very much. The cap won't stay posted and the ink flow doesn't seem right. It keeps skipping. I guess I'll have to work with it for a while. Maybe a different ink.
