What Pens Are You Using Today?

Recommended Posts

I am using a bunch of pens which are in my signature. An Aldo Domani is driving me nuts and I washed it...Soaked it. Tried a whack of different ink in it. NOW I am adjusting the nib. I suppose you have to learn somehow what happens if I squeeze it and bend it here or if I sand it there.

Rob Maguire (Plse call me "M or Mags" like my friends do...)I use a Tablet, Apple Pencil and a fountain pen. Targas, Sailor, MB, Visconti, Aurora, vintage Parkers, all wonderful.

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

I've been enjoying this past week using two Parker 21s...

 

--one a Mark II special with blue barrel, filled with a Skrip vintage blue ink, and

--the other a 21 Super, black body, filled with Quink black.

 

Both are mid-1950-ish models with octanium nibs, writing a medium/fine with excellent flow.

 

Am appreciating these two pens and their near-51 quality.

Waterman Phileas, medium nib, with Diamine Presidential Blue.

All I want is 1 more pen, and 1 more bottle of ink, and maybe 1 more pad of paper. Well, at least until tomorrow. Oh yeah, and throw in that bottle of single malt. Is that asking for too much?

 

thanks Chris.

I have a Montblanc 149 with a custom ground nib, a Waterman Carene, a Namiki Falcon, and a Lamy Safari. By far, my favorite is the Safari. Amazing, isn't it!

Used my burgundy Lamy Al-Star for most of the day, then bought my first TWSBI 540 so I inked it at once.

Decided after 4 weeks of my Visconti HS living on ESSRI ink, it was time to change up. Loaded it with Iroshizuku Ku-Jaku, and let my Pilot VP back into my pocket with a fresh fill of ESSRI. :P So far, both are happy campers.

Current Rotation:


Pilot Vanishing Point Gun Metal Fine


Stipula Passaporto Medium


Visconti Homo Sapiens Steel Age Midi Medium

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
