- Mont Blanc Generation (in red, fine nib, with royal blue ink) at home.

- Mont Blanc Generation (in black, medium nib, with brilliant black ink) at home.

- Caran d'Ache Varius (in metwood, fine nib, with royal blue ink) at home.

 

Other:

- Mont Blanc Starwalker Rollerball at home.

- Mont Blanc Meisterstück Legrand Rollerball to carry around otherwise.

Rainy day, here. At least the weekend was beautiful.

1949 Parker '51' with a fine nib running Noodlers reb-black.

Platinum 3776 with a medium nib running Waterman purple.

Moore 84 with a medium oblique maniflex nib running PR Chocolat.

Good morning, JD, Pep, Don, Lloyd, et al. It's 69F, beautiful day. It's going to get hot, though.

 

Pep, we have no interest in sports (I still don't understand football after living in the U.S. more than a decade) so it does not really matter, but I got a few comments (well, jokingly) when I took my son out in a Hawkeye outfit when he was a baby

 

Sorry it's so boring but I'm using the Sailor with PR Tropical Blue again. Eventually I might get a regular Sapporo Mini so that I can use other ink.

Good morning Pep, Taki, Ali, Lloyd, JD, and all others (this is starting to sound like the end of an episode of The Waltons ). Upper 60s now with a high expected in the mid-80s. No signs of rain.

 

My rotation has turned over almost completely, since I've been doing a lot of research stuff for work and writing notes like crazy.

 

On my person in the two-pen case are:

Pelikan 400NN green stripe with KM nib and Waterman Florida Blue

Parker "51" vacumatic in cedar blue with fine nib and Sailor Jentle Blue

 

In my briefcase in the three-pen case are:

Danitrio Tac Carry II in yellow with Deb Kinney stub nib and PR DC Supershow Blue

Conway Stewart Shorthand in red herringbone with medium nib and Waterman Blue-Black

Esterbrook J in green with a 9668 nib and Diamine Prussian Blue.

 

I guess I'm in a blue-ink mood this week.

I inadvertently brought way too much with me on this week's business trip. This week's weapons at hand are the following.

 

Cross Solo XF: Montblanc Blue

Parker 51 Vac XF: Pelikan Blue

Parker Duofold Jr. Streamlined Flexi-XF: Montblanc British Racing Green

Bexley Simplicity F: Skrip Black

Lamy 2K XXF (JC-grind): Montblanc British Racing Green

Vanishing Point F: Vintage Skrip Emerald

Pelikan Franken-120/M2xx/M4xx (old style) M: Pelikan Brilliant Brown

Kooh-I-Noor Rapidograph 0: Pelikan Blue

 

Good grief...that's a lot of weapons. Better do some mass destructing of one sort or another.

 

Hoping to identify some, review others, etc.

My new Sheaffer Legacy with PR Sherwood Green ink. An amazing combination of velvety smooth nib, wet flowing ink with very pleasing color. I'm just copying post after post about Sheaffer pens just for the pleasure of writing non-stop.

[Montrose]

Evershark Skyline with Private Reserve Black Cherry to match the maroon barrel. This pen has a nice gold cap and is really elegant looking I think. The nib is very smooth and free flowing. I haven't had it long and am still getting used to its small sac that requires more frequent refills. Best not to leave home without a backup.

 

But that could never happen.

Good evening from rainy Phoenix.

 

Today was started with my new Dani Trio Densho, an hour or so with my 805, then a package arrived with two Rotring Cores (i am afraid to take my Dani out of the office.)

 

The cores are fun. I used one of the blue cartridges that came with the pens with the fine point, and popped in the converter with the medium point, filling it with PR chocolat. Both wrote very well right out of the box.

[bartosz.gadomski]

From last week my new VP -silber/grey lacquer. Finaly a pen that I can rely on .

[desmonte]

Good afternoon, everyone

 

Today I am using my new Montegrappa Miya Argento, in Midnight Blue with an F nib.

 

It arrived yesterday from Germany, and went straight to number one on my favourites list. It looks and feels glorious, and the writing is so smooth and clean. I have a number of pens, which I have kept despite them not being precisely what I was looking for. Don't ask me what 'it' is, but I knew I found it with the Miya.

 

Will I buy another pen? Definitely, but not just yet!

[fitzharry]

This morning I will be using my Sheaffer Legacy 2 in palladium finish with Noodler's Navajo Turquoise ink, and my Waterman L'Etalon in sterling silver basketweave finish with Waterman Florida Blue ink.

 

[RayMan]

A blue marble Waterman Expert II, filled with Waterman Black.

[Ali]

Well, today I used my Waterman Expert Dune (Pelikan Turquoise) at school and my red Mont Blanc Generation (Pelikan Royal Blue) and my Mont Blanc Meisterstück Legrand Rollerball (black ink) at home. I'm hoping the Generation's ink cartridge will run out soon so I can replace it with Pelikan Brilliant Green.

Good morning Taki, JD, Don & everyone.

 

I'm back from Ohio where I ran my Waterman#3 out of ink.

I've re-inked it for today with a brown-black mix(Skrip Brown + Quink Black). I don't recommend this mix - it doesn't flow well...

[Taki]

Good morning, Pep, JD, Don, Johnboy and everyone.

 

I'm using my usual...Sailor Sapporo Mini filled with PR Troprical Blue. I'm carrying it in a COBU gum case along with a spear cart and a small post-it.

[Shangas]

Made extensive use of my Parker 51 Flighter both today, yesterday, the day before...In fact, I've been using it almost exclusively for the past week and a half.

 

I'm back in university now and I needed a smooth, fast writer to take down lecture-notes with. I've been doing so much writing with my Parker 51 it ran out of ink today. Luckily, I had the foresight to bring my bottle of QUINK along. I had it in my laptop bag. Brought it out, unscrewed it, pulled the pen apart & refilled it and went right on writing...

[Jerry]

I am using my daily carry now...Omas HT paragon pen and matching roller ball.
