Sheaffer Balance II Jade Green with FeatherTouch Broad nib ussing Pelikan Brilliant Black

Today I'm toting my Pelikan M805, broad nib, with Noodler's Bulletproof Hunter Green and the Rotring Art Pen, 'B' nib, with Noodler's Devil Red.

I'm thinking of putting PR Naples Blue in my Namiki VP before I head off for my writers group and taking it too. . .

I'm taking in a Namki Falcon to lend one writer friend and I'll get my Lamy back from her and lend it to yet another writer.

I'm out to hook my whole writers group on FPs.

Two down, three to go. . .

Today:

Cedar vac "51" w/ smooth wet fine nib and sterling TD Imperial w/ EF semisemiflex nib .

Today . . . so far, it's my Omas Ogiva MoMA with a nice, wet medium nib and a sample of Noodlers/Swishers Naval Orange (that's really a light pinkish orange - yuck!) and my Bexley Sherherazade with great medium nib and Noodlers/Swishers Aquamarine Blue Contract Ink.

Today, the larger Namiki Vanishing point (Black w/Gold Trim) w/Pelikan Brilliant Black...........Parker 51 w/Private Reserve American Blue.....and Esterbrook SJ w/Quink Red.

Today, I'm carrying:

'42 Sheaffer Crest (brown striped, gold cap), F nib, Quink BB
Pelikan Silvexa M20 (black body, chrome cap), M nib, WM FL Blue
Conway Stewart #15 (red marble, gold accents), 1A (F flex) nib, WM FL Blue

Mainly using two pens today --

Lamay Al-Star medium, with Levenger Emerald
Waterman LeMan medium with Levenger Raven

(got to give my Pelikan's a workout tonight)

Lamy 2000, fine nib, filled with Aurora Black

Parker Sonnet - Penman Sapphire
Namiki VP (retired) - MB blue
Esterbrook Relief 3-L - Waterman BB
Filcao PT 2004 - Sheaffer Peacock Blue.
Parker Vac - PR DC Blue

Lamy 2000 ef nib/Noodler's Legal Lapis
Wality 52 f nib/Noodler's Red Black

I forgot the pen used for lab notebook entries:
Baoer 3013 f/m nib Noodler's Black

Today, I'm facing the hoardes with the following:

in the pocket

Pelikan M625 - "F" nib - filled with PR DC Supershow Blue

Pelikan M425 - "F" nib - filled with Noodlers Gruene Cactus

on the desk

Bexley Submariner - red pearl LE - "F" nib - filled with Noodler's Antietam

BRING IT ON!!

Cheers, Dean

'42 Sheaffer Crest (brown striped, gold cap), F nib, Quink BB
Pelikan Silvexa M20 (black body, chrome cap), M nib, WM FL Blue
Conway Stewart #15 (red marble, gold accents), 1A (F flex) nib, WM FL Blue

This trio of FPs seem to be a recurring trend lately....

Two trusty Sailor 1911M pens. One blue (with PR Midnight Blues ink) for general work the other red (with PR Dakota red ink) for grading and editing. A spare Levenger True Writer (currently loaded with PR Tanzanite) usually gets used to do the daily crossword to keep it from drying out.

Cheers.

Warm regards, a rather mad Dutchman

Rotring core again... and a Frontier.

Lamy 2000 ef nib/Noodler's Legal Lapis
and my brand-new Taccia Imperial Portugese (forest marble) with 0.6mm Binder stub/Noodler's Luxury blue

The Taccia is my first stub, and now I 'get it'. I don't know if I'll be able to go back to round tip nibs again. Of course, the stub is all you would expect coming from Mr. Binder's workshop.

I'm on "one pen a week" rotation now and the pen this week is a Sailor 1911 medium size with a zoom nib. Boy is it smooth!!!

Last week was a Pilot Elite and next week should be a Pelikan Pharo Stainless Steel

Today I'm using a Pelikan M200 Amber demonstrator with Binderized .7 cursive italic nib (Noodler's Apache Sunset) and my Visconti Wallstreet LE (F) with Visconti royal blue.

So far, I've used a Parker 51 with PR Plum, a Parker 21 with Pelikan Black and a Pelikan 200 with PR Blue suede.........not to mention an old Shaeffer cartridge pen (Black Shaeffer cartridge) to do the Jumble and Crossword puzzles..........

All are filled with Waterman Florida Blue:

Green-striped Sheaffer 500 w/feathertouch #5 nib
Red marble Conway Stewart #15 w/fine flex 1A nib
Black Pelikan M150 with M steel nib
Black/Chrome Pelikan Silvexa M20 w/ BB nib (and is it ever a BB).

Pen of the week too:
Burgundy Reform, piston fill with blue Quink ink. Finally becoming a smooth writer after several days of use and some minutes of the brown bag treatment. The piston is also becoming smoother, gosh! it was hard when new.

I like the fine to medium nib and the rather wet writing, this last after tweaking the slit in the nib with a razor blade.

I'm using my Montblanc Bordeaux 145 Chopin with Montblanc Blue-Black from a bottle. It has a fine nib that's wet, so the MB BB ink makes a great match for this pen! It's one of my favorite users.

Pen of the day:
Sheaffer Targa 1003 with Mont Blanc black ink. It has a smooth writing. Somehow, I think the Mont Blanc black ink seems a little greyish from my point of view. I may use Parker blue-black ink next time.

A parker 45 and I am not happy
