I don't post in this thread much because I usually use the same pens: A VP to work, and a Pelikan at home. But I just received my Pilot Fermo from Japan and I've been driving it all night. Off to work it goes tomorrow, with the Binder .5mm cursive italic and my blue-black mix, New Old Bishop Street Blue-Black.

P.S. Will post a review and pix this weekend if I have the time...

My Montblanc Meisterstuck 145.

The converter is already 1/3 1/2 empty!!

Good morning Taki. It is a sunny 51F day and promises to be a good one.

Today I am going to spend some time using my newly Binderized Visconti Van Gogh. Found some ink I think will work and now I need to "learn" the pen.

Good morning, JD! High in 60's today. Mmmm...Binderized Visconti

Silver VP with Storm and FPN pen with Fla Blue.

My just-arrived-yesterday Virginia Woolf MB, fine nib, filled with Pelikan Violet. I love how it writes, so smooooth...

Well I'm off work today so it is official pen flush out day! I think I'll write with then clean out every inked pen in the house today. May take a while, I've been a little carried away with new pens and ink. Lets see:

First to get the Americian Blue out of the FPN LE
Next the Waterman 54
Then the Carene
Sheaffer Legacy II
2 51s
The Grand Place
2 Reform Calligraphy pens
The 400
A little Este
The ruby Prelude
Hmmm that 52 1/2 and little Wahl Oxford might need cleaning too

Man looks like a busy day of writing and cleaning!

Going this afternoon to my restoration buddy with a Red Este, a black and pearl Duofold Jr. and a ring top Lapis Conklin Endura to get them up and running, will ink them up this afternoon and try them out, the little Conklin has a real flexy nib!

Can't go anywhere for a while, got a little package coming USPS with signature required!

Senior Size Conklin Endura Black and Bronze with matching pencil

Doin' the happy dance just thinking about it!!!!

Hi,

I'm just using some Pelikan (Souveran 800, 600 and 400), my Dupont Fidelio and one Visconti recently bought.

Sainte-Colombe

I am using a Hero 100
a Parker 51 MKII
Lamy 2000 EF
Parker 51 SE EF

I had to escort my daugther to the Arctic Monkeys' concert tonight... Oh, the horror.....
The pens.. Ah, the pens... 3 that I used today

1. Pilot 743 with FA nib
2. Signet BHR Sold only at the Rexall Stores
3. Stipula Pinocchio (modified by Lize - thank you - thank you )

Good morning, JD. It's 42F and high will be in mid 70's. Don't know why but really busy lately ...don't even have much time to go online, let alone using pens for something other than work.

FPN pen with Fla Blue
decimo with Arabian Rose

Today I'm rolling with a fine point Lamy 2000 filled with Noodlers Black and my Aurora Optima filled with black Chelpark ink (a brand made in India). It was a cool 110 degrees here in Bodhgaya ... quite a relief from the 117 we saw a couple days back. Hope everyone is well!

Visconti Skeleton filled with Caran d'Ache Sunset.
Pilot E music nib with PR Black Cherry.
Pilot Capless with Binder crisp italic and green Parallel Pen ink.
Pelikan M600 with Binder flexy XF and Waterman Florida Blue.
Plus I accidentally used a ballpen but I survived.

Stipula Ventidue Platinum M with Noodlers Ottoman Rose
Waterman Expert II M with Private Reserve Spearmint
Parker Sonnet Ruby Laque M with Parker Black
Lamy Al-Star F with Private Reserve Shoreline Gold

This Sheaffer Lifetime desk pen came in the mail today. It has a very smooth 14K medium nib. I filled it with Florida Blue and am going to use that for a while. I'm also using a Parker 51, and I took my Pelikano out to lunch.

I am currently using a Pilot Laquer pen that I recently bought during my trip to Japan. I love the way it writes. The nib is very flexable and working perfectly with my writing style.

Hi everyone,
Today I don´t use a pen but yesterday I used my Pelikano for writing a letter.

Yard O Led pocket in barley that was such an incredible steal from a guy who was clueless what he had other than "well, it's silver and one of those old fashioned pens" and wanted to unload it. I use it for my morning journals and the B nib is the juiciest, smoothest, most generous for floating over the page.

Stipula Saturno olive green with Noodler's Purple Martin.

1928 Conklin Endura Sr Black and Bronze semiflex nib with De Atrimentis Vanilla Brown Ink. SWEET!

So far today:
Cocoa Parker "51" aero with Private Reserve Chocolat
Pelikan M200 amber demonstrator, Binder .7mm cursive italic nib with Waterman Havana Brown
Yellow Sailor 1911 with Sailor Jentle Blue (cartridge)

I also expect to use today:
1949 Parker "51" flighter with Waterman Blue-Black
FPN LE with Waterman Blue-Black
Esterbrook desk pen (W model?) with Aurora Black
Haolilia 801F with Private Reserve Shoreline Gold

Don

Sailor Sapporo Mini with Sailor cartridge. It's EF nib is smoooooth.
Lamy Vista with Waterman Havana Brown.

Been a while since I've taken any pictures. I love how easy Ron's light tent is to use but since the distance is fixed, Daniel's cube has oodles more flexibility. (This was taken using the former, thus the caps are cut off.

Left: Daily user Namiki Vanishing Point with Mottishaw right-foot obliqe nib tweaked by Binder
Top to Bottom in Winedoc 4-pen case: Danitrio raw ebonite eyedropper (aka, "that which will never run out of ink), Laban (I think the model is Mento), Michael's Fat Boy in copper, matching Fat Boy rollerball, in case I should need to loan a pen)

...none, I'm losing interest.............

the 1923 parker big red senior duofold with black waterman ink.

Nothing much.
I went into a local stationery store to buy my daughter some bits and pieces for her schoolwork, but discovered that I was becoming a bit light-headed and couldn't get back out of the door without purchasing a pen for myself.
I managed to ignore the locked glass cabinet full of Duofolds, Waterman etc and just pulled a Lamy Safari off the rack.
After a bit of deep breathing to steady myself I took a run at the door and managed to get back out into the street without the need for a phone call to my bank manager. Close call!

Someone call the medics for the poster losing interest!

Work, vintage I think this week.

Parker vacumatic - Waterman Florida Blue
Pelikan M140 - Waterman Black
Sheaffer Junior Balance 350 (I think) - Diamine Indigo



Home

Sheaffer Legacy - Sheaffer Black
Pelikan M200 - Diamine Indigo
Kaweco Dia 02G - Private Reserve Naples Blue

If I use anything at all.......................

Good morning, JD and everyone. JD, hope you get your interests back...just try to use BIC or one of those skinny papermate for a few days

FPN pen with Florida Blue
decimo with Arabian Rose

That means this is a good time to buy an expensive new FP to put penlust back in your heart.

Hadn't you better sharpen the pencil?

Come back JD, you know you can't resist it.........

Sheaffer Balance II Jade Green, factory stub nib -more like a sharp italic, with Noodler's Eel Black permanent ink.

1928 Conklin Endura Sr Black and Bronze semiflex nib with De Atrimentis Vanilla Brown Ink. Also, my old standby Pelikan 400 Soverign Blue Stripe with Parker Penman Sapphire Blue.

Today 'Herbert Denius' and I are becoming acquainted. Herbert is an azure vacumatic I puchased from julikko a while ago that I just inked up today. I think Herbert and I will become good friends!

Also Esterbrook nurse's pen, orange Paul Smith pen by Cross (filled with Caran d'Ache Saffron) and my new Cross Verve.

Today, my new Haolilai 801F with Private Reserve Fiesta Red ink. Dynamite!

And some more Caran d'Ache ink here too Casmi (I'll get me some o that Saffron at some point - that's what made me look to Caran in the first place).

Anyway, today ...

Using my trusty black and lusty Parker 51 with some Cd'A 'Blue Sky'.
Backed up by a fine nibbed black Lamy Safari, also complete with Blue Sky.

All on an office stocked run-o-the-mill glue-top paper. Don't like using the black and red's when I'm just scribbling before typing - seems an awful waste.

- Mark

Went with my Lamy Al-star outfitted with a 1.5mm italic and filled with Parker Blue. Had some letter writing to do and my handwriting always seems so much better with an italic. I hope everyone is well!

Monteverde Artista w/ PR Sonic Blue, Waterman Kultur Translucent Blue w/ Noodler's Ottoman Azure, Kultur Translucent Orange w/ Pelikan Brilliant Red.

Today I am going from the sublime to the ridiculous. I am using a P 51 and a Sailor Ink Pen which came with soup, courtesy of Jared, fellow FPN'r. The little Sailor is a great writer. A co-worker begged the info from me to get her own, so I emailed her how to contact Jared and see if he has more.
Donnie

After feeling pen anemic yesterday (forgot to bring an FP with me!), I had to pocket my good ol' trusty MYU today (the one on top):

It's my day off and so far have not used a pen yet I was going to use Estie M2 with very fine stub nib but the filler leaks like crazy

Will write my journal later today with Silver VP with Tanzanite Glacier mix. I need to flush out and change ink in many of my pens.

peachez is back.....Lost season 3 is over........
I feel much better now....My interest in FPs has returned....Pelikan M800 with a custom nib.

Pelikan M200 today

Stipula Saturno with Diamine Umber
Pelikan M400 White Tortoise with Caran d'Ache Storm

For the past few days:

Black Waterman Phileas with Waterman Black (cartridge)
Cocoa Parker "51" aero with Private Reserve Chocolat

Don

This is great news! This thread didn't seem the same without you. And the pix of your daily choice(s). Oh oh guess I'd better declare mine: Pilot 78G, M, with Noodler's Squeteague, and Bexley FPN LE, mix of Visconti Blue and Noodler's Black, both used mostly while riding Metrorail.

Good morning Taki and all who peruse these pages. It is 64F and promises to be a fine day albeit a tad warm. And thank you lefty928, most gracious of you.

Today I am using an M800 (what else) and others to be decided as the day progresses. One is never enough..........

Taking time off today. Guess I'll use my Pilot Knight w/PR Supershow Blue (although I might sneak in some Fiesta Red in my Haolilai later). Have a good one!
