This week is my Eversharp Skyline, filled with PR Tanzanite.

Currently my most used pen is a Pilot Capless Blue Carbonesque with my Sailor 1911M Zoom next. I'm trying to use the zoom nib more in order to sway my love/hate relationship with it more towards love!

 

cheers,

Milo

This week its my Platinum Honest 66. I tweeked the nib just a little bit and discovered one of the most pleasurable writing experiences I've ever had!

 

Usually, its my Namiki Vanishing Point, fine nib, from Richard Binder. I take notes and although this pen writes beautifully... I enjoy the ease of the ball point like retraction mechanism to keep the nib from drying out between note taking.

I wish I could give you a definitive straight answer but since I started on this forum months ago, I have collected 6 pens and decided to stop at that number in order to sit back and enjoy each one. I do use them interchangeably each day but as to most used pen... hmm.. I would say it would be a close fight between my Pilot Custom 823 and Lamy 2000.

I tend to rotate among a number of pens, but always have a Waterman with a flex nib inked for signing documents. This week I have been using a Waterman 7 Red Ripple with a Red flex nib, a Waterman 7 Emerald Ray with a Brown semi-flex nib, both filled with Diamine WES Imperial Blue, and an Omas Paragon Scarlet Celluloid filled with Waterman Florida Blue.

This week I have a number of pens inked, nine I think, but the ones that get the most use by far have been:

  • Stipula DaVinci in Blue Cracked Ice, 1mm Italic nib, Waterman Florida Blue ink
  • Parker 51 Vacumatic, India Black, extra-fine nib but quite wet and writes almost fine, Skrip Peacock Blue ink
  • Montblanc 221, black, 1mm oblique cursive Italic nib, Visconti Blue ink
  • Sheaffer Legacy Heritage II, Platinum, Skrip Jet Black ink
Next week will most likely be different.

At the moment, for some odd reason, a pre-unification Pelikan m150 with a very wet M nib. Don't normally like something that writes as wet as this one does.

Hey, I've worked out how to set up an avatar! Next week I'll move onto tying my own shoelaces...

This week, my MB 149 with the troglicated nib has been getting a lot of use. It's about time it had a look in, since the Pilot M90 and the Hanzi have been hogging my attention for a while now.

My Cross Solo F black woth gold trim is my reliable always writes first time even if not used for weeks. Otherwise usually use my Sailor 1911 silver (M/F) or P51 black with a gold cap ,F nib. Guess I should use my MB starwalker and Parker sonnet cisele more often but non so far match the Cross Solo.

A Waterman Edson Sterling LE and a rather untidy Parker 45 flighter are currently being put through their paces. The 45 has undergone very heavy use in its life time, but still writes like a dream.

+1 on the beat-up Parker 45. I've got a British one here, a student pen, with bite marks, missing pieces and the whole panoply of student-related injuries. But I've got it filled and in use at work, and it works pretty good.

Right now I am almost inseparable from my new Yellow Vanishing Point with a fine point. The line width is just about perfect, and I am fascinated by the retractable nib mechanism. It's very convenient when I'm taking notes in class.
